Now heading to the Caribbean for their next adventure, they are excited to welcome guests aboard, share their love of the ocean and help create unforgettable experiences on the water.

Cruising the Windward Islands: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from December to May. Stronger trade winds, often called the Christmas winds, blow between 15 and 25 knots from December to February. March to May brings consistent breezes and drier conditions with calmer seas. June to November marks the wet season, bringing higher humidity, lighter winds, and tropical storm activity. Peak visitor traffic occurs over the Christmas and New Year period and throughout the late winter months, whereas spring sees fewer visiting yachts.
Practical tips
- Fly to Martinique (FDF), St Lucia Hewanorra (UVF), St Vincent Argyle (SVD), or Grenada (GND). Rodney Bay is about 1.5 hours by road from Hewanorra.
- Grenadines charters often start in St Vincent, Bequia, or Canouan, reached by short regional flights from international hubs.
- Clearing customs and immigration is required when moving between independent island states and French territory; yachts must fly the Q flag until cleared.
Anchorages to know
- Tobago CaysA marine park protected by Horseshoe Reef, providing sheltered anchoring in shallow waters beside uninhabited cays and sea turtle feeding grounds.
- Admiralty Bay, BequiaA deep, natural harbour offering well-protected anchoring, customs clearance facilities, and access to local market stalls along the waterfront.
- Marigot Bay, Saint LuciaA sheltered inlet surrounded by steep forested hillsides, offering inner lagoon moorings and deep-water anchorage options outside.
- Anse Couleuvre, MartiniqueA remote black-sand bay on northern Martinique providing fair-weather day anchorage beneath coastal rainforest and volcanic cliffs.
