Why Go Sailing in Grenada?
Sailing Grenada will give you a unique opportunity to explore breath taking sceneries, tropical rain forests and stunning white and black volcanic beaches. In between sailing trips on your Grenada yacht charter, take a dip in the tropical waters and explore rich coral gardens. Because of its proximity to the Equator and cooling trade winds that blow around the area, Grenada is a place to visit and sail around throughout the whole year. Grenada Sailing Festival takes place in late January or early February, so make sure you stop by! Charter a bareboat or skippered yacht in Grenada and have fun on a sailing vacation you will always remember.

The rainy season runs from hot and humid months of June to November, when tropical storms and hurricanes are most likely to occur. Winds are nearly always at 10-25 knots.

Top Reason to Visit Grenada
Choose between skippered or bareboat charter in Grenada, a volcano-made island and explore its mountainous terrain and small rivers with waterfalls flowing into the sea. The waterfalls are a tourist attraction, so put some of them on your Grenada sailing itinerary: Annandale Waterfalls, Mt. Carmel, Seven Sisters, and Concord.
Grenada yacht charter gives you an opportunity to relax and do water sports on one of the best beaches in the world, Grand Anse Beach. Discover sunken shipwrecks and make sure not to miss an amazing snorkelling session in the world’s first Underwater Sculpture Park. The southern part of the island has several beautiful bays that look especially astounding from the deck of your charter yacht.
Visiting the nearby St. Vincent and the Grenadines can also be part of your Grenada sailing itinerary, if the weather permits it. However, take note that sailing around Grenada can be slightly more challenging than sailing in the BVI’s, for example.
