Windward Islands: the most transparent waters of the Caribbean

St. Lucia
You can land in St. Lucia from an international flight, then you can reach your charter yacht driving through banana plantations and arriving in Marigot Bay. Spend the first night at anchor, before leaving for the bay of Soufriere, the old capital and now a small fishing village, and the Pitons, two spectacular volcanic cones.

St Vincent and Young Islands
Cruise to St. Vincent and reach Chateaubelair, in about four hours, a magical place located at the base of St. Vincent’s volcano. Here you will find amazing beaches and coral reefs for snorkeling and diving. Cruise around Young Island, St. Vincent, where you will find beautiful waters and coral reefs that are hundreds of meters deep.

Bequia
Move to the south and reach Friendship Bay in Bequia, with a half-moon shaped beach and a magnificent coral reef. Here are the famous boat builders and, if you have space in your suitcase, you cannot miss buying a hand carved model boat to take home with you.

Mustique
Your next stop is Mustique, the private island of Mick Jagger, David Bowie and other celebrities, who can be spotted in Basil’s Bar, a hang out set on platforms over the water. Here, too, the waters are crystal clear with long stretches of pristine beach.

Canouan
Canouan, and in particular Charlestown Bay, are one of the favorite places for charter visitors. Here lies the luxurious restaurant “La Varenne”, and for the golf enthusiasts, is the challenging 18-hole course at the Trump International Golf Club.

Tobago Cays
You can make a quick stop at Mayreau and visit the beautiful crescent beach at Salt Whistle Bay before heading to Tobago Cays, which has at least five great anchor points and is perfectly protected by a huge barrier, still perfect for snorkeling.

Union Islands
You can visit Union Island for a swim, before continuing on to Carriacou, where you can practice water skiing, as well as snorkeling and diving.

Grenada
Navigate to the beautiful island of Grenada, where you will visit the red-roofed colonial capital, St. Georges, with its fascinating spice market. Internally Grenada is very mountainous with Mount St. Catherine’s which is 2,756 meters high, from which small rivers with beautiful waterfalls descend into the sea.
