Grenada Yacht Charter

What is the best route to sail Grenada?

When it comes to your Grenada boat charter, you can choose your dream itinerary and chart your own destiny. However, if you follow one of our itineraries, you will sail to sensational islands, bays, cays and towns, each of which has something new to offer. Our 7-day Grenada sailing itinerary starts at our base in Port Louis Marina and takes you to Dragon Bay, Carriacou, Union Island, Tobago Cays, Petit Martinique, Prickly Bay and St George’s Bay.
As gateway to the Grenadines, Grenada’s southernmost location in the Windward Islands also opens the door to one-way charters through more challenging open-water passages, allowing you to experience the beauty of other points of interest in St. Vincent, the Grenadines and St. Lucia.

When is the best time to sail in Grenada?

The peak sailing season in Grenada runs from October-June, which is generally considered the best time to set sail on the open waters of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. During this time, plenty of incredible regattas are held, such as the Grenada Sailing Festival in January and Grenada Classic Yacht Regatta in February.
June to November is the hurricane season for the Caribbean, but Grenada is south of the area most affected. It should be noted that, if conditions exist for hurricane development, we request very close contact with the base while clients are on charter.

How easy is it to island hop in Grenada?

Grenada is a fantastic sailing destination if you want to spend your charter island hopping and making magical memories. In very close proximity to Grenada you will find its sister islands, including Carriacou and Petite Martinique. 
With breathtakingly beautiful islands, bays and cays such as Chatham Bay and St. Vincent on our Grenada itinerary, all that’s left to do is hire a skipper, relax up on deck and sip cocktails until you reach the next island on your route.

How many days in Grenada is enough?

We think a Grenada sailing charter of at least 7 days is ideal because it gives you the opportunity to explore the wonders of Grenada and surrounding islands, while also having time to relax and unwind. If you want to sail around St Vincent and St Lucia, we have also created 10-day and 14-day itineraries that you can follow.

What are the best things to do in Grenada?
  • Be at one with nature and spend your day hiking around Grenada, Bequia and a number of other islands – a great way to experience stunning rainforests, tucked away villages, and stunning views out to sea.
  • Explore the sensational underwater sculptures at Molinere Point.
  • Visit one of the dozens of breathtaking waterfalls around Grenada.
  • Since Grenada and Carriacou are not as heavily visited as other Caribbean islands, the reefs, wrecks and coral walls remain largely unspoiled by crowds and many have yet to be fully explored. Divers will encounter deserted cays, sandbars and lagoons teeming with sea life.
  • Visit the crater lake at Grand Etang National Park and Forest Preserve.
  • Sports fishing is extremely popular in these waters, with Spanish mackerel, barracuda, marlin, tuna and kingfish just some of the fish landed.*
  • If you want to channel your inner underwater adventurer in Grenada, take a look at our water sports options.

*Licenses are not required for trolling a line while underway. Spearfishing is illegal to all non-residents. You can also rent a fishing rod at the base at $10 USD.

There are locations at Blue Lagoon St. Vincent, Tyrell Bay, Clifton Harbour and Bequia where forecasts are posted daily. It should be noted that radio reception can be very poor in the islands, however reports can also be obtained by calling Port Louis Marina by cell phone.

What are the tides like in Grenada?

Much like our destinations in the BVI, Greece and Antigua, the tidal range in Grenada is very small: 30 cm to 90 cm (1-3 ft), including the variation of level due to atmospheric pressure and dominant winds.

The current is normally westerly up to 2.5 knots, which should be taken into account when planning your Grenada yacht charter.

The Moorings is really the main game in charters in terms of base locations, number of boats, and service and upkeep on boats. We’ve also had a great experience with the staff at the various bases from which we’ve chartered.

Our skipper, Nick, Hazel was great. He took care of dinner. Reservations was graded explaining all of our activities and gave us many options to plan our trip. Would recommend Nick to anyone and would love to use him again.
