St Vincent and the Grenadines, a sailors paradise



St Vincent and the Grenadines offer a glimpse into the authentic Caribbean that has yet to be over run with tourists. For sailors it is a dream come true with constant trade-winds and numerous bays to drop anchor. Idyllic white sand beaches, lush tropical rain forests and rich coral reefs all spell out conditions for a perfect holiday in paradise.

Just 3 years old, 98 ft Eagle's Nest offers luxury charters in the Grenadines this winter. She can sleep 8 guests in 3 queen staterooms and 1 twin stateroom - all ensuite. Each stateroom has Creston audio systems with surround sound, reading lights, complete blackout blinds and port holes allowing natural light to filter in.

Captain Paul Martin and his professional crew of 3 will pamper and indulge you in your every whim.

Charter rate:
Up to 8 guests - $45,000/week plus all expenses


With 32 islands and cays, crystal blue waters and perfect year round weather with constant trade winds...what more could a sailor want?

Entrepreneurship, a 50ft Catana, sleeps 6 with one master hull dedicated to a large master suite with ensuite head and shower. This is the perfect yacht for a honeymoon couple or a family of 4. The catamaran is fully air conditioned, but you will soon find that the constant trade winds offer a more tranquil option.

The crew of Entrepreneurship, Captain Barry and Chef/mate Liz, have become enchanted with the Grenadines and find that it has much to offer with a lot less of the commercialism one may find in other parts of the Caribbean.

On board water-skis, wake boards, kayak, and snorkel gear will keep everyone busy. Diving is also offered to certified divers with a Padi certified Dive Master.

Charter rates:
$11,000 for 2 guests
$12,500 for 4 guests

Marmot is a stunning large catamaran available for charter in the British Virgin Islands. She is fast on her feet, making her a fun yacht to sail in the calm waters of the BVI – she really gets up to speed on a reach!

Marmot is crewed by Al & Sarah Munro, long a favorite of charter clients, since they have been sailing the Caribbean for the past 10 years on a number of well known catamarans. Al’s easy going nature and calm knowledge of sea life above & below the water make him a superb charter Captain, while Sarah’s food is varied and delicious.

Scuba diving, snorkeling, wake boarding, tubing – Marmot has all the water sports toys.

The layout of this catamaran offers a large master cabin and two queen cabins all with ensuite heads & showers. The roomy salon opens to a massive covered cockpit that is perfect for dining or relaxing. The trampolines up forward are a great sunning area as well as a beautiful spot to soak up the ambience of the sea water as you glide by.

Although my video skills need improvement, here is a quick shot taken on the dock at Village Cay Marina, steps outside our office. It means we get a chance to frequently see the yachts & crew as they travel in & out of Tortola.

We definitely recommend Marmot as a great choice for your BVI charter!
