Why you’ll love it

A tall ship, twelve guests, and coves no cruise port has heard of. A GoSmart cruise specialist matches you to the right ship, cabin, and sailing.

Why it works

Warm teak underfoot, the sails filling above you, and an empty white-sand cay drawing closer with nobody else in sight. The Grenadines feel like a quieter corner of the Caribbean, best explored by hopping between small islands that still move at their own pace.

Worth knowing

This is small-boat and yacht territory, not big cruise ships. Days run on swimming, snorkeling, and a beach barbecue, and the pace is set by the wind and the anchorage, not a fixed schedule.
Tobago Cays is the postcard: a marine park of turquoise shallows where you snorkel with turtles straight off the boat. Ask that it is on your route, because it is the highlight of the whole string.
The dry, breezy season from roughly December to May brings the best sailing and least rain, and it is peak. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and not much else, because life out here is barefoot.

About the place

The Grenadines scatter between St. Vincent and Grenada, reached by a flight and a boat, so build in the transfer. Bequia, Mustique, and Canouan are the names to know, each tiny and low-key.
