This six-day charter itinerary in Grenada goes far beyond the typical Caribbean escape. From cooking Oil Down with locals and building boats by hand in Carriacou, to swimming with turtles at Saline Island and dancing to live music at West Indies Brewery, this journey features authentic island culture with the laid-back luxury only a superyacht can offer. Expect vibrant markets, hidden waterfalls, powder-soft beaches and the kind of warm Grenadian hospitality that turns first-time visitors into lifelong fans.
Day one: Island fun and social scene
Cruise to Hog Island, a protected anchorage that’s perfect for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing. Enjoy a casual beach barbecue and drinks in the laid-back island setting. In the afternoon, continue to Prickly Bay’s marina restaurant and bar to mix with the locals before heading ashore to West Indies Brewery for local beer and great food. End the evening with live music and dancing.
Day two: Food and culture
Sail through St. George’s Harbour and visit the bustling St. George’s Market to shop for fresh produce, spices and local goods. Head inland for a home-style cooking class, and learn how to prepare Oil Down, Grenada’s national dish, using local ingredients, while taking in the island's hospitality.
Day three: Relaxation and sailing
Start the day with a yoga session at Laluna Resort or Yoga Harmony, followed by a traditional Grenadian breakfast at Patrick’s Home Cooking before setting sail north to Carriacou, Grenada’s sister island. Upon arrival, anchor in Tyrell Bay and enjoy a lively lunch at Las Iguanas before spending the afternoon embracing the relaxed lifestyle and social marina atmosphere.
Day four: Island-hopping in Carriacou
Enjoy breakfast at Sharmy’s before departing for a day of island-hopping, starting at White Island, a stunning, sand-ringed islet that’s perfect for snorkelling.

Continue the day with lunch at Tim’s on Anse La Roche Beach, accessible only by boat.
