TMM Yacht Charters on St Vincent is ideally positioned for the start of a trip through the Grenadines. The company, headed up by John West, keeps a small fleet of both catamarans and monohulls between 36ft and 50ft long and with between two and five cabins. They are usually chartered as bareboats, but skippers and cooks are available by arrangement if you would like them.

The company is based at Blue Lagoon close to the southern tip of St Vincent, from where the Grenadines stretch in a 60 mile string of glorious islands south and west to Grenada. In many ways they offer the finest sailing in the Caribbean. Conditions are more ‘exposed’ than elsewhere in the islands, for example in the Virgin Islands, and so it is important that you should be confident in command of your yacht in all weathers. But the islands also have immense natural charm and a good variety. Some are simply a smart hotel set on a beach in fantastic blue sea. Others have a strong local West Indian character. Others are nothing but an uninhabited outcrop or a sandbar that makes a lovely daytime anchorage.

As you plan a Grenadines charter with TMM there are a few formalities to go through. You will need to send a sailing resume, sign a contract and of course make payment, and at the same time you should forward your provisioning requirements and any requests for sports equipment. When it comes to the trip itself, you will be collected on arrival in St Vincent and transferred from the airport to the base at TMM Blue Lagoon, where you will have your chart briefing and a short ‘check out’ sail. Then you set off. At the end of your charter, your yacht can be returned to the base or dropped off at a different point (at extra charge). TMM is a small and friendly company that can help you get the best of sailing in the Grenadines.
