Villa Split
​​​Catamaran Sailing

This year we are sailing from Grenada northwards through the Grenadines. We have made a wonderful route that is approx. two weeks long. It includes both lots of sailing and plenty of time to enjoy the fantastic water and at the same time we get to visit approx. 10 different paradisiacal and exotic islands.

​

You can see approx. how far we sail (nautical miles) each day - we sail around 5-6 NM per hour.

 

Day 1

You arrive at Grenada's international airport (Maurice Bishop Int. Airport - GND). The airport is just outside the capital Saint George's and a short drive from Port Louis Marina, where Villa Split is ready with provisions and equipment for the next two weeks.

If you want to visit the city, you can do so either before we sail out or when you come back to Grenada in about two weeks time. Saint George's is a very charming town. The houses are colorful and are scattered on steep hills around the town.

Grenada is often referred to as the Spice Island and there is a fine local market in the city, where you can buy locally grown spices, such as cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. In addition, one of the Caribbean's most famous beaches lies just outside the city - several kilometers of crystal clear water, palm trees and fine white sand.

 

We will dine together on the ship, and you will be briefed about the coming weeks' trip.

​

Day 2

We sail out of the harbor at sunrise. You will have breakfast on the trip up the coast of Grenada while you can admire the lush green rainforest that covers most of the island. We sail close past Carriacou, and make a short stop at the small island, Sandy Island, where you can have perhaps the first dip of the trip in turquoise blue water. We sail a few hours further and drop anchor at the peaceful and unspoiled island of Petit Martinique. 

40 NM

 

Day 3

We sail a short distance today. We leave Grenada and arrive at the island of Union Island, which is one of the southernmost islands in the country "Saint Vincent and the Grenadines". After a visit to the main town of Clifton, we sail out and swim at the beautiful island of Palm Island, where we also spend the night.

4 NM

 

Day 4

Perhaps the most beautiful destination of the trip awaits us today: The Tobago Keys. A large reef facing the Atlantic Ocean protects a handful of small islands from the waves. The entire area is a protected national park. Here you swim with turtles on the turquoise sandy bottom. There are beautiful stone reefs, where you can enjoy the sight of colorful fish and plants with a snorkel and mask. The small palm islands can be visited by dinghy or paddle board.

5 NM

 

Day 5 

We sail a good distance today. We are going north to the island of Bequia. We anchor in Admiralty Bay and from here you can visit Port Elisabeth, where, among other things, are a lot of small shops with local handicrafts. A quiet town with a very hospitable population. 

25 NM

​

Day 6

Today we will sail a few hours to the island of Mystique - Britannia Bay. The island is privately owned. This is where the famous and rich live - rumor has it that Mike Jagger is mayor of the island:) Here you can experience the luxurious atmosphere from the island's most beautiful anchorage, where both swimming and snorkelling are on the agenda. 

8 NM

 

Day 7

Canouan - Charleston Bay. Here we are in one of the Caribbean's most protected anchorages. It is obvious to take a walk across the island, where you quickly come out on the Atlantic side, where the fantastic white beach reveals itself. 

15 NM

 

Day 8

The small island of Mayreau is the destination for today's short sailing trip. We anchor in Saline Bay. From here there is access to land, where you have a fantastic view of the beautiful area. 

4 NM

 

Day 9

From Saline Bay, it's only a short trip back to the paradisiacal Tobago Keys. We revisit the most beautiful anchorages in the Caribbean and have a lovely day to go snorkelling, swim with turtles and enjoy the white palm beaches. 

2 NM

 

Day 10

Today we sail during the afternoon to Union Island - Chatham Bay. It's a short trip. The bay here is surrounded by green mountain sides. It is peaceful and almost uninhabited here, but the small beach bar at the bottom of the bay is usually able to entice the sailors with their delicious Rum Punch.

5 NM

​

Day 11

Today we are going on a longer trip. With the wind in our sails, we are going back to Grenada, this time to the south side of the island. Here are deep and well-protected bays and we lie down for the night in the beautiful Phare Bleu Bay.

50 NM

 

Day 12

Today we sail back to St. George's - Port Louis Marina. It is a short but beautiful trip where we, among other things, sail past perhaps the Caribbean's most beautiful beach, Grand Anse Beach. 

Back in Port Louis Marina, there is an opportunity to visit the cozy town of St. George's before disembarking tomorrow. You can also just enjoy the Marina's pool and cozy bars. 

10 NM

 

Day 13 

Disembarking at Port Louis Marina after breakfast. 

 

Practical info:

The journey to and from Grenada typically requires a couple of plane changes along the way, but can usually be completed in less than 20 hours from Europe.

Once you have boarded Villa Split, your trip starts, and everything is taken care of until you disembarke again.
