Why this country

Sailing in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

The best argument for the Grenadines is not the water, striking as it is. It is that the whole chain is one country. Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, Union Island and the Tobago Cays all belong to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, so you clear customs once — at Blue Lagoon or Kingstown — and then have around sixty miles of islands in front of you with no further formalities. In a region where the next island in sight is usually a different state with its own fees and office hours, that changes how a week feels.

It is a sailing destination rather than a motoring one, and it asks a little more of you than the Virgin Islands do. The trades run 15 to 25 knots from the east through the season, and between the islands there is real ocean swell — one to three metres is normal. The Bequia Channel, the first crossing out of Saint Vincent, has a reputation for being lively, and it earns it. Once you are in among the islands the legs shorten and the reefs give shelter, but the passages are passages.

The Tobago Cays are the set piece: five uninhabited islets inside a horseshoe of reef, with nothing between you and the Atlantic but the surf breaking on it. They are a national park, and the fee is collected by rangers who come alongside — US$11, or EC$30, per person per day. Have cash ready in the morning, and if you want a mooring rather than an anchor, be there before ten.

Our fleet is 19 boats, 14 of them catamarans, averaging 13.3 metres and split between Blue Lagoon on Saint Vincent and Bequia itself.

On the water

Sailing conditions in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Prevailing wind
East-north-east to east-south-east, 15–25 kn

Firmest December to May. Enough breeze that this is a genuine sailing week rather than a motoring one.

Swell between islands
1–3 m

Open Atlantic swell runs through the gaps in the chain. The Bequia Channel is the liveliest crossing and the one you do on day one or two.

One country, sixty miles
Clear in once

The whole chain is Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Standard entry points are Blue Lagoon or Kingstown; clearance fees total roughly US$30–50 in and out.

Where the fleet is
Blue Lagoon and Bequia

13 boats at Blue Lagoon on Saint Vincent and 6 at Bequia Marina. Starting from Bequia saves you the channel crossing on handover day.

Changeover day
Mostly Saturday

17 boats hand over on Saturday and 2 on Sunday — check the specific boat before booking flights.

Worth the detour

Where to drop anchor in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

  • 1

    Tobago Cays

    Five uninhabited islets anchored inside Horseshoe Reef, with the Atlantic breaking on the far side of it. Turtles in the shallows, no buildings, and a national park fee of US$11 per person per day collected on the water. Take a mooring before 10:00 or plan to anchor.

  • 2

    Admiralty Bay, Bequia

    The most reliable harbour in the chain and the first stop after the Bequia Channel. A whaling and boatbuilding island with a town you can walk, and the one anchorage here that works in any conditions.

  • 3

    Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau

    A crescent of sand on a narrow isthmus, with the windward side a few steps across. Small and it fills early — arrive in the early afternoon or take the second row.

  • 4

    Chatham Bay, Union Island

    A deep bay on Union's west side, enclosed by hills and almost empty. The quiet counterweight to the Cays, half an hour away.

  • 5

    Clifton, Union Island

    The southern clearance point and the practical hub of the lower chain — fuel, provisions, and the airport if crew are joining or leaving mid-week.

  • 6

    Mustique

    Privately managed and mooring-only, with a fee and a limited number of buoys. Britannia Bay is the anchorage; the island is unlike anywhere else in the chain and priced accordingly.

  • 7

    Canouan

    Midway down the chain, with Charlestown Bay as the anchorage and a reef running up the windward side. A convenient staging point between Bequia and the Cays.

  • 8

    Petit Saint Vincent and Petit Martinique

    The southern end. PSV is a single-resort island with moorings off it; Petite Martinique across the channel is already Grenada, so stopping there means clearing out.

Suggested routes

Where a week in St. Vincent and the Grenadines could take you

Down the chain and back

7 days

The classic Grenadines week: south with the islands to windward, then an easier return. All of it inside one country, so no paperwork after day one.

  1. 1

    Blue Lagoon, Saint Vincent

    Handover and clearance; cross the Bequia Channel if there is daylight, or stay and go early.

  2. 2

    Admiralty Bay, Bequia

    The channel crossing — lively, and the one real test of the week.

  3. 3

    Canouan — Charlestown Bay

    Work south down the chain; or detour to Mustique on a mooring.

  4. 4

    Tobago Cays

    The far point. Park fee on the water; mooring before 10:00 if you want one.

  5. 5

    Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau or Chatham Bay, Union

    Short hop; Chatham if the Cays were crowded.

  6. 6

    Back north — Bequia

    The long leg home, usually a faster point of sail than the way down.

  7. 7

    Blue Lagoon

    Final channel crossing for the Saturday handover.

Find a boat for this route

From Bequia — the lower Grenadines

7 days

Starting at Bequia removes the channel crossing from both ends of the week and buys you two extra days among the islands. The better option if the Cays are the point of the trip.

  1. 1

    Bequia

    Handover in Admiralty Bay; move round to Friendship Bay or stay put.

  2. 2

    Mustique — Britannia Bay

    Moorings only and a fee; a short leg south.

  3. 3

    Canouan

    Charlestown Bay, midway down the chain.

  4. 4

    Tobago Cays

    Inside Horseshoe Reef. Cash for the rangers.

  5. 5

    Petit Saint Vincent or Clifton

    The southern end of the country; PSV moorings or Union for provisions.

  6. 6

    Mayreau or Chatham Bay

    Start back north with a quiet night.

  7. 7

    Bequia

    The return leg; no channel crossing needed.

Before you book

Local rules and paperwork in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Skipper qualification
No formal licence; a sailing resume is required. As elsewhere in the Eastern Caribbean. Given the swell and the reef pilotage here, operators look harder at recent experience than they might in the Virgin Islands.
Clearance — once, not repeatedly
One country for the whole chain. Clear in at Blue Lagoon or Kingstown on Saint Vincent, or at Clifton on Union Island coming from the south. Fees for checking in and out usually total around US$30–50. No clearance is needed between the Grenadine islands.
Tobago Cays Marine Park
US$11 / EC$30 per person per day, in cash. Rangers collect it alongside, so have cash ready early in the morning. Anchoring itself is free; where moorings are installed they are charged, and the limited number go before 10:00.
Mustique
Moorings only, with a fee. The island is privately managed and anchoring is not permitted. Buoys are limited, so it works as a planned stop rather than an improvised one.
The Bequia Channel
Expect it to be rough. The gap between Saint Vincent and Bequia funnels wind and swell. It is short, but it is the leg that decides how the crew feels about the week — do it early in the day and reef before you start.
Crossing into Grenada
Petite Martinique and Carriacou are a different country. They look like the next islands in the chain, and they are — but they are Grenadian. Going there means clearing out of Saint Vincent at Clifton and in again on return.

Checked October 2026. Rules change — confirm the detail that matters for your trip when you book.
