Mustique & The Grenadines

The Grenadines is a necklace of 32 islands and cays, of which only nine are inhabited. It is one of the most popular destinations in the world for leisure sailors, who flock here for its numerous un-crowded anchorages and charming ports of call. The islands are also renowned for their appeal to visitors seeking a more private Caribbean experience as well as a romantic bolthole with weddings, vow renewals and honeymoons in mind. Each of the islands has its own special appeal. Here are some of our favourites:

Young Island

Situated on this tiny island, just 200 yards off the southern shores of the mainland (St. Vincent) is the privately owned Young Island Resort. The resort is a haven for rest and relaxation.

Bequia

The largest of the Grenadines is a former whaling station and centres on the sleepy town of Port Elizabeth. Quaint and pedestrian the feel of the island is of a Caribbean of yesteryear.
