The islands of the Grenadines lay in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. The island chain offers incredible sailing with beautiful trade winds and the charm of the Caribbean of yesteryear. Leave the gourmet meals on board Kuma Too; when you head ashore in the Grenadines, your toes will be in the sand while locals prepare freshly caught seafood on homemade open-flame BBQs showering you with hospitality and rum punch.
Fly into Grenada to explore the lush landscape of the mainland then explore the vast chain with a one-way sail to St. Vincent, allowing you to fully experience the diverse and captivate islands of the Grenadines.
Begin your trip with a land tour of the Spice Isle of Grenada where Mona monkeys, cocoa farms, and countless spices will fill your day. After a short stop at the underwater sculpture park, we sail north around the underwater volcano, Kick ‘em Jenny towards Ronde Island. Settling in for a secluded night, Ronde offers a hiking trail and calm anchorage with Jurassic landscapes.
Next we explore the largest island of the Grenadines, Carriacou, and its tiny neighbor, Sandy Island. With endless white sand beaches, fresh lobster, colorful coral, and shaded hiking trails, the activites are endless.
A lunch stop finds Kuma Too at the manmade Happy Island before settling into the secluded Chatham Bay, Union Island. The protected bay houses a long sandy beach with local vendors offering cold cocktails and made-to-order seafood.
Next stop is the picturesque Tobago Cays with a snorkel at the World's End Reef. The Tobago Cays are made up of 5 cays with hiking trails, excellent snorkeling, a turtle sanctuary, white sand beaches, world-famous beach BBQs, and one of the film sets for Pirates of the Caribbean.
As Kuma Too enjoys a downwind sail, we pull into Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau. Only accessible by boat with a single road and unnamed village, this island screams remote. Meander through the ruins of an abandoned resort, sip an ice-cold Hairoun Beer, and soak in the warm waters of the bay. Here beachfront shacks serve local cuisine with the freshest seafood, as you watch your lobster and fish come off the fisherman's wooden boat onto the grill then onto your plate.
Sail on a beam-reach to Canouan for a day exploring the Sandy Lane Yacht Club and quiet streets. Whether you're looking for some beach time, hiking, or a beach bar there's something for everyone.
If you're looking for a bit of luxury, a visit to the private Mustique Island is a must. Spend the evening dancing the night away at Basil's Bar or sneak in a few hours of pampering at the spa.
Wander the quaint streets of Port Elizabeth and snorkel the most vibrant reef while moored in Bequia (pronounced Beckwee or Beckway). Derived from the ancient Arawak word Becouya, Bequia means "island of the clouds". A well-established watering hole for pirates, Bequia was the birthplace of the infamous Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard's flagship and the Americas most powerful warship in its day.
Spend the last morning sailing into Blue Lagoon before disembarking on St. Vincent.
