The Grenadines, Motor Yacht and Sailing Yacht Cruises

Carriacou

Grenadines

The Grenadines pick up where Grenada leaves off and stretch northwards till they hit Saint Vincent. They are a collection of 30 islands, only a dozen of which are inhabited. Most are blessed with perfect Caribbean beaches and diving waters and many of the islands also afford great windsurfing conditions.

Cruises are a great way of seeing the Grenadines and Saint Vincent. Budget travelers will have to pick their islands wisely, since some are geared almost exclusively to the rich and famous.

Island Hopping

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines consist of dozens of uninhabited islands but also the main islands like Union Island, Saint Vincent and Mustique are well worth a visit. There is wide choice and you can either hop from one island to another by public ferries or take an organized tour, for example with a sailing yacht to the Tobago Cays in the south of the archipelago.

The capital and only town of any size is Kingstown, situated on the island’s southwest coast. is the cultural hub of the islands, where most of the population live, a bubbly cultural affair marked by a decidedly relaxing West Indies atmosphere. The island affords a number of great hikes, most notable of which is the journey up the La Soufriére volcano, a tall active volcano as majestic as it is volatile, the surrounding islands are very known for their unspoiled beauty and natural landscape, you can visit these islands by water on a Sailing or Motor Yacht and enjoy an unforgettable vacation with loved ones.Photos compliments Sailing Yacht Liberte Click here for more Grenadine info from Liberte
