Windward Islands | Click here for a sample itinerary/Windward Island map

Like their name suggests, the Windward Islands border the Caribbean Sea to the east and run between latitude 15 and latitude 12. There are many outstanding yachts cruising these waters year round and the fleet is supplemented during hurricane season when many yachts migrate south to enjoy the safe water below the storm belt. So if you have already chartered in the Virgin Islands, you may be able to experience the Windward Islands with the same yacht and crew.

The major islands in this region include breathtaking St. Lucia with its famous Piton Mountains, French Creole Martinique, heavily forested St. Vincent and the spice island of Grenada. In addition, popular yachting destinations include Bequia (known to sailors far and wide), Mustique, Petit St. Vincent, Union Island and Canouan, (chic hotspots for celebrities and the rich and famous), the Tobago Cays (diver’s paradise) and enchanting Carriacou (a part of the country of Grenada).

This island chain more closely represents the islands of the South Pacific with lush tropical rainforests and sandy specks of islands with one or two palm trees being the only inhabitants. The sailing here is a bit more exhilarating due to the passages of open water between some of the many key islands. Because of this, most captains will recommend chartering 10 or more nights. Of course, a traditional seven night charter will be memorable. You’ll just have to return again to experience all of the islands.

So if you love nature, hiking and exploring rainforests and lush countryside, warm friendly people and some adventurous sailing, the Windward Islands await.
