Union Island
1 hour sail
We take the southern route from the Tobago Cays sailing close to Palm Island and into the stunning reef anchorage of Clifton Harbor, Union Island. We can take the dingy to meet Russell Douglas who tends the small and very lovely Green Island - if we are lucky he will sing some Calypso tunes for us. Russell likes to read, so we try to bring him something. There's lots to do here. After exploring Union Island we recommend refreshments at the Bougainvilla. Their tables overlooking the bay are right next to a large aquarium with a beautiful reef shark in residence.
Here the crew restocks with your favorite drinks and lots of fresh food. The walk back to the dock passes the Anchorage Yacht Club's pool of Nurse sharks, from small to fully grown. Jantie, owner of the modest little boat 'Small Speed' has a neat island built on conch shells, with a thatched roof and barbeque spot. He serves a renowned rum punch on his tiny island perched on the reef.
Mopion
1 ½ hour sail
This brisk sail past Palm Island brings us into the protected waters of Petit St Vincent between Pinese and Mopion two low lying light pink pure coral sand islands - the perfect desert islands. Mopion is an extremely memorable island and your chef can prepare a picnic lunch for you to take ashore.
Petit St Vincent
30 minutes from Mopion
This short trip brings you into the lee of Petit St Vincent, a quiet and very exclusive resort. We recommend an early evening stroll along the generous sweeping beach and a visit to the private island's cocktail bar and restaurant. It is housed in the lovely stone building with a relaxing courtyard area overlooking the bay. Here the guests include magical fireflies and parrots, which are friendly enough to feed biscuits to! Evenings here have a lovely gentle atmosphere.
Sandy Island, Carriacou
1 ½ hour sail
After breakfast we take a leisurely sail past Gun Point and Jack o' Dan. Northern Flight then rounds up into the turquoise waters between Sandy Island and the beautiful St Louis Bay, Carriacou after sailing between Mabouya Island and Sisters Rocks. We anchor alongside the wild and wonderful Sandy Island. Sandy Island offers great snorkeling with chances to see Sting Rays swimming close to the yacht in the sandy anchorage.
Birds are a striking feature of this island, pelicans dive into the water yards from you as you snorkel and the laughing gulls wheel about, the reef waters attract shoals of fish and you often find yourself surrounded by glittering spirals of darting silver. The stars seem to shine brighter at Sandy Island and you should find it refreshing and peaceful in its wildness.
