Southern Caribbean Charter
Day 1 BEQUIA | 11.5NM
Join your yacht at Young Island, just off St. Vincent’s southern coast. Head for the lush, green isle of Bequia, and anchor in picturesque Admiralty Bay. You’ll love the model boats hand-made by the local craftsmen. Finish your day with drinks at the Frangipani Hotel and return to the yacht for dinner.
Day 2 UNION ISLAND | 30NM
Spend the morning on one of Bequia’s golden beaches or dive the Devil’s Table, loaded with fish and coral. Then cruise to Union Island, a mini-Tahiti topped by the 1,100-foot Mount Taboi. Anchor off the long sand beach in Chatham Bay or prowl the boutiques of Clifton.
Day 3 TOBAGO CAYS | 5NM
The four uninhabited islands that make up the Tobago Cays, surrounded by pristine Horseshoe Reef, are a snorkeler’s paradise with a fantastic array of sea life. The dive boats depart in the afternoon, leaving you to enjoy shelling the beaches in perfect solitude.
Day 4 CANOUAN | 5NM
Return to civilized pleasures on Canouan Island and play a round of golf at the Jim Fazio-designed Trump International Golf Club at the Raffles Resort. Or pamper yourself at Raffles’s Amrita Spa. Feeling lucky? Try your skills at the Villa Monte Carlo Casino.
Day 5 MUSTIQUE | 13NM
A 1,400-acre island lined by green valleys, Mustique is a glamorous retreat for celebrities. Have the requisite drink at Basil’s Bar on stilts above the sea and venture to the Mustique Equestrian Center for a ride along the island’s many trails.
Day 6YOUNG ISLAND | 15NM
Spend the morning in the surf at Mustique’s Macaroni Bay and then cruise to Petit Nevis, a private island off Bequia’s southern shore, for a last lunch in splendid isolation. Returning to Young Island, take the tender to Lime N’ Pub restaurant on the mainland for a seafood feast.
Day 7 ST.VINCENT
Reserve your final day for a tour of this dramatic island before your departure. Rent a four-wheel-drive vehicle and head north to the Bamboo Forest. Make the two-hour climb to the summit of La Soufrière or hike to Trinity Falls, a group of three cascades.
