Lots of good fun, great sailing in warm winds and swimming in turquoise waters with some great scuba diving spots. From our base at Grenada, we will cruise North to many of the islands, rocks, cays, reefs and islets that make up the Grenadines. The island chain spans about 50 miles north to south in length and offers a superb world class cruising area. Sail aboard our superb boat in the Trade Winds and warm waters and visit up to 3 different destinations each day. Enjoy the “old” unspoilt Caribbean. The highlight must be our visit to the uninhabited Tobago Cays with their palm fringed gloden beaches sitting in azure blue pools on the edge of the Atlantic. Visit Carricau, Bequia, Canouan, Mayreau, Union Island, Palm Island and of course the amazing Tobago Cays – a new anchorage every day! Great food aboard and ashore and Caribbean music all the way!
