Windward Islands yacht charters tend to be more enjoyable for the experienced sailor. Except in the northern and southern Grenadines within Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, the sailing distances are longer than in the Virgin Islands.
Sea conditions can be challenging depending on the time of year. There are some protected anchorages. It is an opportunity to experience many cultures within a small area. Moreover, each island has its unique flair.
The beautiful Caribbean music, waters, breeze/wind, beaches, snorkeling, and scuba diving are the same. The local cuisines are all exceptional, and they have Indian, Amerindian, African, French, and English influences.
We recommend eight to ten days for a sailing yacht charter Desiderata when exploring the Grenadines. In addition, sailing from the north, like from St. Vincent to Grenada or Union Island in St. Vincent and The Grenadines, is more comfortable depending on the time of the year as it would be downwind. Also, consider AZULIA II for your yacht charter.
