Strewn between St. Lucia and Grenada in the Winward Islands, St. Vincent and the Grenadines have 32 islands and cays perfect for cruising, snorkeling and luxurious Caribbean Yacht Travel.
The island of St. Vincent, nicknamed “Vincy” serves as the jumping off point to the Grenadines. Volcanic terrain is the backdrop to steep waters and sandy beaches. This region is best known for its exquisite snorkeling due to the flourishing marine life. Divers often refer to St. Vincent as the critter dives full of long-spine sea urchins, sea horses and frogfish that can rarely be seen anywhere else in the Caribbean.
One of the main points of interest for snorkelers is the breathtaking Bat Cave, which is tucked away 50 feet from the open sea. If you venture up the west coast of the islands you will be led to the crescent moon shaped Wallilabou Bay and discover the remains of the colonial Port Royal from Pirates of the Caribbean. Bequia is the largest of the Grenadines and can be easily recognized on map by its dagger shape. This island is in close proximity to the capital, Kingstown. You can either go humpback whale watching or if you wish to travel on a sail charter, Port Elizabeth is known as the yachtie hub for some of the world’s finest monohuls and catamaran sailing yachts. There are snorkeling and diving locations for experts to novices such as Devil’s Table, Princess Point and Moonhole. eYachtCharter can make arrangements for a diving guide to guide you through the reefs and cays. Sailing throughout the Winward Islands you will find white chalked beaches on the shores of uninhabited islands throughout the Tobago Cays as you explore the southern Grenadines.
For the elite traveler seeking an exclusive island with complete privacy, Petit St. Vincent is a complete respite from technology. This island also has one of the world’s most discrete resorts, the Petit St. Vincent Resort. The modest abode has only 22 cottages spread out over a 113-acre island. This resort is a world-class decompression chamber and the staff service is impeccable. St. Vincent and the Grenadines are among the most select islands in the Grenadines. This region panders to the needs of the most astute vacationers who require elusive travel arrangements. Vincy will take you off into another world. |
