A diversity rarely seen in one place
The islands offer a diversity of terrain, culture and amenities that are rarely seen in one location and, although they lie close together, each has a unique character of its own.
BVI Yacht Charters has worked closely with colleagues in St Vincent & the Grenadines for many years, and one of our staff has more than 30 years experience operating charter yachts there.
The main island of St Vincent has lush terrain with mountains, rain forest, waterfalls that you can swim under, deserted beaches and incredibly friendly people. The Grenadines, lying on St Vincent’s doorstep, offer some of the finest beaches, snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean, and inter-island sailing distances are short, generally from 1 to 4 hours.
Getting here
St Vincent has an international airport (airport code SVD) and there are direct flights from New York (JFK), Miami (MIA), Toronto (TOR) and London (LGW).
There are also many direct flights from other major European and North American cities to Barbados (BGI) and from there it’s a short hop across to St Vincent.
When we have our guests’ flight information, we’ll organize a taxi to meet you on arrival and take you to Blue Lagoon Marina, about 20 minutes’ drive.
