Fringing the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, the islands of the Grenadines, including the famed St. Vincent, are prime for exploration via luxury yacht.
During your luxury yacht charter in the Grenadines, West Indies, you will have 32 islands to explore, all offering different views and local flair. The largest island in The Grenadines is St. Vincent. This is an ideal starting point for your Grenadines yacht charter. Here, you can visit the largest city and capital of the island chain, Kingstown. Despite its size, St. Vincent is more sleepy than its sister islands. It is brimming with local fishing villages – perfect for procuring fresh seafood for meals during your private yacht charter – and lots of land-based activities.
If you’re keen to work up a sweat, the island’s volcano, Soufrière, is worth a visit and a hike. Alternatively, visit Vermont Valley and trek through a tropical rainforest while keeping your eyes peeled for the island’s famous parrots. If a less strenuous pursuit is on your to-do list, the Botanic Gardens of Kingstown are worth a visit, as is the colonial-era Fort Charlotte.
Once you’ve explored St. Vincent, it will be time to cruise to another of the Grenadines; a popular favorite is Bequia.
Diving and snorkeling enthusiasts will want to head under the waterline, as the reef off the coast is worth a visit. Here, there are plenty of sea creatures to see, including octopuses, seahorses, and manta rays, as well as vibrant corals. All that underwater activity will mean that you will surely work up an appetite, and luckily, Bequia has plenty of beachside restaurants and bars for wining and dining.
Mustique is an exclusive island where the rich and famous play and is an ultra-luxurious Grenadines yacht charter destination. History abounds here in the picturesque villages with cobbled streets and remnants of plantations that can be found.
Union Island is another must-visit during your Grenadines superyacht charter with its beautiful flora and fauna, white sand beaches, and abundance of spots to check out ashore.
Whether you explore this stunning Caribbean destination by motor yacht or on a luxury sailing boat, Northrop & Johnson can craft an incredible charter itinerary for an unforgettable vacation aboard a luxury charter yacht.

Spend a few nights ashore at the stunning Sugar Beach resort before embarking your luxury yacht at the Marigot Bay Resort & Marina. Cruise to St. Vincent in the Grenadines for your first night at anchor. The 150 square mile territory consists of the main island of St. Vincent and the 32 smaller islands of the Grenadines. The island, which has to date seen unlimited tourism development, remains lush, mountainous and agricultural.
From the peaceful anchorage of Cumberland Bay, St. Vincent, cruise south to the lush green island of Bequia. Enjoy an evening ashore at the bustling capital of Port Elizabeth, which is set at the back of pretty, yacht-filled Admiralty Bay. Further inland, explore the old forts and Bequia’s summit, Mount Pleasant.
Probably one of the best-known islands in the Caribbean, Mustique offers pure barefoot luxury. The island’s popularity with royalty and the international jet set has endowed it with a prestigious reputation. Anchor off the island and step back in time with afternoon tea at The Cotton House followed by an evening of Caribbean revelry at Basil’s Bar.
Accessible only by boat, the uninhabited Tobago Cays are surrounded by the famous kaleidoscopic Horseshoe Reef and provide a beautiful anchorage. Anchor in the wildlife reserve and marine park between Petit Rameau and Petite Bateau and swim and snorkel through the stunning underwater world.
Cruise over to Petit St. Vincent – your own desert island offering total privacy and seclusion along two miles of white sand beaches. A resort island, the owners welcome superyacht guests to step ashore to enjoy its many amenities. Divers should check out the Jean-Michel Cousteau scuba center, and, for those who have had their fill of the water, there is also a Balinese day spa ashore.
Spend your last full day discovering the varied coastline of Carriacou. Known as the Island of Reefs, its varied coastline has many offshore islets that are perfect for swimming, diving and snorkeling. Step ashore to explore the French and English ruins of Belair National Park or visit the oyster beds around Tyrrel Bay.
Grenada lies to the south of the Grenadines archipelago and is an ideal place to finish your yacht charter. Affectionately named the “Spice Island,” as you draw near, the fresh ocean breeze mingles with the aroma of spices carried on the trade winds. Thanks to its abundant production of spices at a time when they were a valuable commodity, Grenada has always been one of the more sophisticated Caribbean islands. Spend a few days ashore exploring the island’s verdant interior and stunning beaches.
