Grenada & Carriacou / Special Interests / Day Sailing

By James Henderson

There are several day and half-day sailing trips on Grenada offering snorkel and lunch stops, plus sunset cruises. The coves along the south coast make for a lovely day sail – some brisk wind and lively water offshore and then the sheltered suntrap of an isolated beach. A more adventurous option is to sail from Carriacou or one of the other Grenadines islands, such as Union Island and then sail to the Tobago Cays.

Grenada

Carib Cats, St George’s - Full and half-day snorkelling and sunset cruises on-board a catamaran.

First Impressions - Day and sunset catamaran trips as well as fishing tours and evening karaoke tours. You can also book a dolphin and whale-watching trip.

Footloose - Grenada catamaran day sails to Isle de Ronde or Sandy Island or Hog Island as well as dive/day sails in association with ScubaTech. 

Carriacou

Day sails from Carriacou are quite popular. People fly in from neighbouring islands (mainly from Grenada, but sometimes from as far afield as Barbados) and then take a day sail to one of the offshore islands. Some of the trips are based in Union Island and pick up from Carriacou.

Brian Fletcher - has a sailing boat for hire.

Caribbean Horizons -  It offers a number of sailing tours to Carriacou, Petit St Vincent, the Tobago Cays and the other Grenadines, with transfers by boat or plane.
