Day 1 Meet your crew at the airport or island jetty. After a comprehensive boat briefing on deck in Admiralty harbour, Bequia, sail for chic Mustique, and moor in Britannia bay. A short distance from Bequia, Mustique only 3 miles long by 1 1/2 miles wide and about a 1 1/2 to 2-hour sail from St. Vincent (12 miles). Some of the world's most sophisticated beachcombers of society and fame, were lured to this island gem by safe, warm waters, varied terrain and astonishing views. Tour by foot, taxi, or horseback past the homes of the rich and famous. Take a swim off the secluded beaches of Macaroni or Sandy Bay. Step back a century when taking afternoon tea at the Cotton House Hotel. Keep an eye out for celebrity residents – Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Tommy Hilfiger all have homes here.
Day 2 After breakfast and an optional swim or snorkel sail to Canouan (can-ou-on) a crescent-shaped island surrounded by wide shallows and coral - a scuba diver's dream. The islanders are mainly fisherman and small farmers. However, with a wealth of excellent beaches and unspoiled scenery, Canouan Island has attracted significant hotel development. Enter the main harbor and enjoy the Tamarind Beach Hotel and then check-out the swimming pool located at Raffles Beach Resort & Golf Club. Yes…a par-72 golf course.
Day 3 The dramatic peaks of Union Island, the Caribbean equivalent of Chamonix, are a short down-wind sail away. Enter Clifton Harbour, protected by the extensive Thompson reef and enjoy shops and restaurants on offer. Alternatively, if you seek peace and tranquility, Chatham Bay on the West coast is THE place to hide!
Day 4 A stones throw away lies Palm Island , where the golden sands of Casuarinas beach will lure you into the turquoise waters once more. Set sail for palm-lined Salt Whistle Bay on the north west shore of Mayreau . Hidden behind the pristine beach and palms of Salt Whistle, nestles a fine beach resort where you can enjoy dinner Flintstone-style on rock tables.
Day 5 Take an early morning stroll to the top of Mayreau and enjoy the magnificent views of the Tobago cays and surrounding islands. Then navigate the channel to the world famous Tobago Cays under the midday sunlight. Horseshoe reef offers limitless snorkelling and some fine drift dives. If you are adventurous you can explore underwater caves. Under the stars here you can be safe in the knowledge that you are in one of the most spectacular anchorages on earth.
Day 6 A short sail across to the Tobago Cays will probably be the highlight of your trip. One of the worlds most spectacular sights to behold is a place you will find hard to leave. The second largest horse-shoe shaped reef in the world surrounds crystal clear waters, teaming with tropical fish, and ubiquitous coconut swept beaches in every line of sight.
Day 7 You'll probably want to stay put in the Tobago Cays, change your anchorage and roast lobster on the beach ! Or maybe if you are ending the charter in St. Vincent you'd like to start you way back up north spending the night at Friendship Bay in Bequia
Day 8 An early morning start after breakfast for a day of exhilarating sailing to the land where your Grenadines yacht charter ends and perhaps the beach villa part of your holiday begins.
