Guests will arrive at St. Vincent's Argyle International Airport (SVG) and transfer to Mangoz Restaurant and Bar, in front of Young Island, where they will be picked up by Valentina’s crew and welcomed aboard.
Upon arrival in Bequia, Port Elizabeth welcomes you with shops, restaurants, beaches, and island flair. Head to the beach, spend the rest of the day meandering around town, or for an unforgettable view, take a tour to the top of Mount Pleasant. The waters surrounding Bequia have some of the best dive sites in the Caribbean for divers of all levels, including shallow reefs, caves, cliffs, and wrecks. It’s a great place to learn how to scuba dive, and the vibrant marine life will captivate the entire family.
Day Two
Sail 2 hours and 11 nautical miles, to the island of Mustique.
Mustique beckons with an exclusive blend of natural splendor and refined luxury. A handful of luxury shops and restaurants are onshore, including the exclusive Cotton House Hotel and Firefly, where the martini menu is as legendary as the harbor view. Go at sunset and sample the Full Mosquito, a martini made with cranberry and lime. Mustique is also a great place to enjoy a game of tennis, horseback riding, or an afternoon of water sports.

At Canouan, anchor in front of the new Soho Beach House or Sandy Lane Yacht Club for a unique island experience. Canouan, also known as the “Island of Turtles,” is one of the Caribbean’s emerging luxury destinations. Located in the heart of the Grenadines, this tiny island has quaint bays and coves, and secluded beaches with warm water that is perfect for swimming. If you’re a golfer, you’ll love Canouan’s 18-hole championship course designed by Jim Fazio. The island also has one of the Caribbean’s largest barrier reefs, which promises great snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities.

At Mayreau, anchor in Saline Bay and enjoy four excellent dive sites: Mayreau Garden, Valley Dive, Puruni Wreck, and Hot Springs. Puruni Wreck is a 1918 English gunship approximately 140 feet in length and found in only 40 feet of water. Great wreck dive for beginners as well as advanced divers. Hot Springs is an underwater volcano with continuous bubbling. The water temperature here changes dramatically, becoming very warm and there is an abundance of outstanding corals.
Day Four
Sail 1 hour and 7 nautical miles, to the Tobago Cays.
Heavenly lagoons full of green turtles, coral reefs, colorful fishes, and crystal-clear waters await.
The Tobago Cays are a water-lovers paradise, with aquamarine blues and greens stretching as far as your binoculars allow you to see. These five tiny, uninhabited islands, accessible only by boat, boast some of the best sailing and snorkeling in the Caribbean thanks to the Horseshoe Reef offshore, which creates a calm lagoon with unbelievably blue water.
Day Five
Sail 1 hour and 7 nautical miles, to the islands of Petit St. Vincent & Petite Martinique.
Petit St Vincent is an island that is part of The Grenadines and is privately owned and operates as a resort. Nearby Petite Martinique is one of the islands of Carriacou and is part of Grenada.
Experience the thrill of diving with sharks on the nearby reefs, where you can witness these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. After your adrenaline-pumping adventure, unwind in style with a leisurely afternoon picnic on a secluded sandbar, surrounded by breathtaking ocean views at Mopion Island. If you are craving a break from the sea, take a sporty hike up The Piton (750 feet). Take in sweeping, spectacular views of northern Petite Martinique as well as the nearby Grenadine islands of Petit St. Vincent, Union Island, Palm Island, Mayreau, Canouan, and Mustique.
Day Six
Sail 1 hour and 8 nautical miles, to Sandy Island,
Sandy Island is part of Carriacou, which is part of Grenada. It is a little-known treasure for those seeking a private, secluded escape. Its immaculate beauty is highlighted by deserted beaches, hidden coves, and wooded hills. Snorkelers and scuba divers will love exploring the surrounding waters. For some adventure on land, visit the High North Nature Reserve. Hike the trails to peak, where you’ll see iguanas, tortoises, and birds including Macaws and Grenada Doves. Once at the top, savor the incredible views of Grenada to the south and the rest of the Grenadines to the north.
Day Seven
Sail 5 hours over 33 nautical miles, to Port Louis Marina, Grenada
Grenada is the perfect place to end your charter and has something for everyone in your group. Whether you want one last adventure, a leisurely day at the beach, or a romantic retreat, you’ll find it here. Head to St. Georges, the capital, to pick up some last-minute gifts at its shops or sample local cuisine at one of the restaurants. Take a tour of the Belmont Estate cocoa plantation, and sample their famous cocoa tea. Hike the Grand Etang Forest Reserve and swim in the water-filled crater of an extinct volcano.
Grenada is known for its waterfalls, including St. Margaret’s Falls at Grand Etang, the Seven Sisters Waterfalls, and Annandale Falls. Nature lovers will want to visit Levera National Park, a scenic coastal area with a picturesque beach and a lagoon that is one of the island’s most important wildlife habitats.
