Starting at Young Island Cut, St. Vincent
In St. Vincent, your yacht may anchor off Young Island close to the airport on the southern tip of Saint Vincent. Your crew will meet your flight and bring you to your yacht. From Young Island, you can sail the next day or choose to spend a day exploring inland. A crewed yacht charter through these beautiful islands gives you the opportunity to sample the particular character of each island at your own pace. Along with exhilarating sailing, the islands offer a wealth of experiences ensuring rich and colorful memories.
Bequia
2 hour sail
Under full sail, we pull away from Young Island and reach south to Admiralty Bay, Bequia. We anchor off Princess Margaret's beach, with its inviting caves and golden sand. This location offers a gentle introduction to snorkeling - walk in from the beach or step from the swimming ladder of the yacht, there is a rocky shoal which is home to many fish.
Bequia is a great introduction to the Grenadines, a beautiful island with warm and welcoming people. Photo opportunities abound and a wander along the waters edge of Port Elizabeth in the glow of the late afternoon sun is recommended to absorb the relaxed Caribbean atmosphere.
Bequia has fantastic diving and great walks with ever changing views and peaceful beaches. There are local craft shops where model boats are lovingly created. Meet some local characters including Stanley who may row out in his small locally built boat and show you his hand-crafted jewelry. Zest Mon on the beach makes beautifully simple woven palm baskets adorned with birds and butterflies. Your chef always has fun provisioning from the small Rasta market and you can come to select fresh fruit and vegetables from the stalls of Roots and Ras - these gentlemen are passionate about their vegetables! You can take the opportunity to visit the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, run by Brother King, where you can hear how he is helping these wonderful creatures and hold a baby turtle.
Friendship Bay, Bequia
a 1 ½ hour sail to Petit Nevis, then 30 minutes to Friendship Bay
Sail by the Moonhole, where the architecture of Tom Johnson's open houses grows out of the rocks, and close to West Cay, then on past Pigeon Island and Isla A Quartre. We will drop anchor and serve lunch at Petit Nevis with an opportunity to snorkel along the shore of the island. Up comes the anchor, and we sail on past Semplars Cay into Friendship Bay with its wrap-a-round golden beach. The swing seat bar 'Herby and Spicy' is a nice place for a beer after an afternoon stroll. Or, enjoy sunset cocktails on deck before dining aboard while you enjoy the lovely island view.
