Caribbean Flotilla
The Caribbean island of St Vincent is the starting point for our flotilla holidays in the the Grenadines. We are confident that you will not find a better flotilla holiday especially if you are looking for a small flotilla. Yachtcharter.co.uk have visited the base and spent two weeks sailing around this wonderful sailing destination. All the yachts are also available for bareboat charter or hire a professional skipper for a skippered charter.
Our Caribbean flotilla is based in Blue Lagoon on the main, and largest of the islands, St Vincent. The island is steeped in history and rich in cultural heritage, much of which can be seen when strolling around the capital, Kingstown. St Vincent is also the home to the oldest botanical gardens in the western hemisphere, and a descendant of one of Captain Bligh’s breadfruit trees can be found, brought to the island on HMS Bounty.
Our Caribbean flotilla holiday visits Mustique, Bequia, Union Island and the Tobago Cays to name but a few of the breathtaking islands that make up this tropical paradise. From snorkelling around the corals in crystal clear waters to dining on exquisite seafood and exotic local fruits, you are guaranteed to experience the sailing holiday of a lifetime where the winds are reliable and the temperatures hover daily around the 30* mark.
The routine is breakfast on board, a morning swim, then set sail for the next stop with perhaps a swim & lunch stop at a dessert island or an idyllic bay along the way. Daily sailing distances are 10 – 20 miles. There is time to explore some of the islands, find a stunning beach, go snorkeling or maybe just relax on deck with a book. Most guests choose to dine ashore though you are free to self-cater on board if you wish.
