Sailing The Grenadine Islands aboard S/Y Glenfiddich

You are visitor number

35' Moinard la Rochelle

The Grenadines have long been known worldwide as perhaps the best place for sailing. Situated between Grenada and St. Vincent you visit many deserted islands and romantic cays. The water is clear. The anchorages are well sheltered. You feel like swimming in an aquarium. We fish as we travel between islands and at night we cook and enjoy our catch.

Glenfiffich is a 35' boat, made in France. It is well equipped and has made five Atlantic crossing.
She has just completed a major up-grade and renovation and she is sooooo sweeeeet..............

VHF radio, GPS, refrigerator/freezor, hi-fi, etc. Glenfiddich is a strong yet light boat and easy to steer. It has speed averaging 7 knots. We offer a large, wide bow cabin with overhead hatch for cool, refreshing breezes. The head is located just outside the cabin entrance. There is a spacious salon and a fully equipped gally.

Your skipper is Jean-Noël Arque.
Jean-Noël, born in France, brings 20 years of experience with eight Atlantic crossings.
He loves to cook and will happily offer excellent French cuisine for your evening meals onboard at a small, additional charge to the basic charter rate.

For this sailing escape, we recommend
a minimum 7-days with 10-days being just perfect! Your charter begins
- PERHAPS -
on the island of Bequia or Carriacou.
From there we will visit

- YOU plan your specific itinerary
with your skipper Jean-Noel -

Mustique, Canouan,
The Tobago Cays, Mayreau, Palm Island, Union Island, Petit St. Vincent and Carriacou.
We will make your flight reservations to/from the yacht along with the boat as a package.

Glenfiddich is a cozy, comfortable wooden boat with mahogany, teak, red cedar, ash, and other tropicals. Light and airy inside. There is no bimini to protect you from the sun on this fast, racing style boat. Be sure to bring along a sun hat, long-sleeve shirts and your favorite suntan lotion. At anchorage, Jean-Noël brings out a large canvas to shade you from our fabulous, warm sun. Glenfiddich requires just 6' of draft allowing us to take you in close to some of the most secluded and romantic anchorages. Bring your snorkel gear and Jean-Noël will dinghy you to his favorite places. Or, if you prefer scuba diving, arrangement can be made.

Also about the airfare, I use Barbados for my clients. In any event, you can now start checking on flights to/from Barbados. If you can arrange to get there any day before 16:00, I will connect you to your Grenadine island destination on our 50-minute flight. We will do the flight and the private yacht together as a package. Yes, you'll sleep here in the islands that first night but you'll have to get to Barbados arriving before 4PM as we have no night landings here in The Grenadines.

Remember that when you arrive Barbados, you will be "in transit" and you will not have to worry with your luggage, immigration or customs. Our friendly agent will meet your arrival as you deplane the steps on Barbados; will take you to the IN TRANSIT check-in located just inside the Arrival Terminal Building. And then it's off to your gate where your plane awaits. Always pack essentials in your carry-on in case your luggage has to follow on tommorow's flight.

Currently, roundtrip prices
via Barbados:
> Bequia Island @US$330/person/roundtrip
> Canouan Island @US$330/person/roundtrip
> Carriacou Island @US$407.50/person/roundtrip
> Mustique Island @US$420/person/roundtrip
> Union Island @US$330/person/roundtrip

We will then arrange all your connections to your island hideaway and return.

Check your local travel agent for best rates from your home airport to either Barbados (Airport Code: BGI) or to Grenada (Airport Code: GND). American Airlines has Eagle service from San Juan to Grenada and also to Canouan Island Airport (Code: CIW). However, given your late evening arrival in Grenada, you will need to overnight and then fly to Carriacou where your skipper will meet you and bring you to the yacht. We can arrange your Grenada overnight as well as connections to Carriacou via boat or plane. You can also fly into Barbados and we will arrange for your connection to Bequia or Carriacou. For your return home, we can either drop you off on Union Island, Carriacou.or on St. Vincent.
