The landscape of Grenada is one of the most beautiful and diverse environments in the Caribbean, including crater lakes as well as an amazing variety of plant and animal life. Known as the “Isle of Spice”, Grenada is located at the southern end of the Windward Islands, only 100 miles north of Venezuela, and it is bordered by stunning beaches and dotted with picturesque towns.
The capital, St. George', is widely held to be the loveliest city in the Caribbean. Its horseshoe-shaped harbour is surrounded by pastel rainbow coloured dockside warehouses and the red-tiled roofs of traditional shops and homes. Set sail for sister island Carriacou with its beaches of fine sand and natural harbours and you are near the heart of the Grenadines.
Grenada offers many types of yacht charter such as bareboat or skippered, crewed yacht charter, catamaran, sailboat and luxury yachts.
Mr. Hartman Bay Marina is only a 15-minute taxi ride from Port Salines International Airport. Consider staying a few extra days here. February through September are the best months for a one-way sail through the unspoiled Grenadines to St. Lucia.
If you like diving, you would love the colourful coral gardens and numerous wrecks. Many hotels offer scuba diving facilities and snorkelling equipment and there are a number of independent dive centres offering short boat dives, night dives and a variety of scuba courses. The Northern Islands and natural parks offer some groovy underwater haunts just waiting to be explored.
