Private Yacht Charters in Grenada, the Caribbean Spice Island
Grenada Yacht Charters: The Spice Island of the Caribbean
Grenada, the Spice Island of the Caribbean, sits at the southern end of the Windward Islands chain just north of Trinidad and Tobago. The country includes Grenada itself, the sister island of Carriacou, and the smaller Petite Martinique to the north, with a total population of just over 100,000 people. The combination of pristine beaches, lush mountainous interior, exceptional snorkeling, and the famous spice production has made Grenada one of the most authentic and rewarding charter destinations in the southern Caribbean.
Port Louis Marina in St. George's is the main charter base. The marina sits in the protected St. George's Harbour, one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the Caribbean, with the colorful colonial buildings of the capital city rising directly from the waterfront. From Port Louis, charters can work the calm western coast of Grenada with stops at Grand Anse Beach, Moliniere Bay, and Dragon Bay, then continue north to Carriacou and the southern Grenadines for longer week-long itineraries.
The signature Grenada charter experience combines reef snorkeling, the unique underwater sculpture park at Moliniere Bay, visits to spice plantations and rum distilleries inland, and the famous Grand Anse Beach. The two-mile crescent of white sand at Grand Anse is consistently ranked among the world's finest beaches, with calm clear water perfect for swimming and the dramatic backdrop of the green Grenadian mountains. The Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park is the world's first underwater public art installation, with 75 statues placed in shallow water specifically to encourage coral growth and serve as an artificial reef.

With Day Yacht Charters Grenada, you will have an experienced professional crew, thoughtful service, and a day on the water designed entirely around what your group wants. Contact us today and let us help you build the perfect itinerary.
Grenada and the southern Grenadines are designed for yacht charter. The combination of calm leeward anchorages, steady trade winds for sailing, short comfortable inter-island passages, and a string of beautiful islands and cays running north from Grenada to St. Vincent makes the region one of the finest cruising grounds anywhere. A private yacht unlocks the full chain in a single charter, from the Spice Island itself to the Tobago Cays Marine Park, in a way that no land-based itinerary can match.
Privacy is the second major advantage. Grand Anse Beach, Moliniere Bay, Sandy Island, and the Tobago Cays all attract day-trip boats from the busier resort areas. From the deck of a private charter anchored just offshore, your group enjoys the same destinations without sharing them with shore-based crowds. A morning snorkel at the Sculpture Park, a swim at Sandy Island, and a sunset at Grand Anse all become private experiences from the deck of your own vessel.
Flexibility is essential when working a multi-island Grenada itinerary. Wind shifts, weather changes, and the natural rhythm of charter days are best handled by a private vessel that can adapt to conditions and group preferences. With our captain and crew, your itinerary is built around what your group most wants to experience, with the freedom to spend extra time at favorite anchorages and to skip stops that don't match the day's energy.
Grenada and the surrounding Grenadines offer charter conditions suited to a wide range of vessel types. Our Grenada fleet is selected to perform well across the calm leeward anchorages, the trade-wind passages between islands, and the longer hops to the Tobago Cays and beyond.
Catamarans are particularly well suited to Grenada charters. The shallow draft allows access to coral-fringed anchorages like the Tobago Cays and Sandy Island that monohulls cannot reach as easily. The wide deck platforms provide comfortable space for groups, and the twin-hull stability is comfortable even in the trade-wind passages between Grenada, Carriacou, and the southern Grenadines.
Sailing monohulls deliver the authentic Caribbean trade-wind experience. The northeast trade winds blow steadily across the entire Grenadines chain at 15 to 20 knots through most of the year, and a sailing yacht running before the wind from St. Vincent south to Grenada captures the kind of warm-water bluewater sailing that defines Caribbean charter.
Motor yachts and superyachts are ideal for groups requiring more cabin comfort, multiple staterooms, or faster passages between islands. A larger crewed motor yacht can comfortably accommodate family groups, corporate charters, and milestone celebrations, with the kind of service and onboard amenities that match the destination. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to discuss the right vessel for your group.
Please note that the yachts shown on our website may not always reflect the most current availability, as we do not have a dedicated web designer to update the listings. Some yachts may be unavailable for reasons such as being sold by the owner, undergoing maintenance, relocated, or already booked by another client. To see a complete and up-to-date list of yachts available for rent in Grenada, we recommend contacting us directly. We can provide detailed information, including photos, pricing for day trips, and confirm the availability of any specific yacht.
Experience the Luxury of Grenada Yacht Charters - Private Charters Available
A VIP private charter in Grenada combines the authentic Spice Island experience with the kind of personalized luxury that defines a private yacht charter. From the moment you board at Port Louis Marina, every element is tailored to your group. A private chef joins your vessel with menus built around the day's local catch and the famous Grenadian spices grown on the island: nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, mace, and ginger all feature in onboard preparations. Fresh wahoo and mahi-mahi prepared with island spice rubs, oil-down (the national dish of Grenada) made with local provisions, lobster when in season, fresh tropical fruit picked the same morning, and an extensive selection of Grenadian rums including Westerhall, Clarke's Court, and the historic River Antoine all appear on charter menus. Chilled champagne waits at the dock. When the boat anchors off Grand Anse for a swim, the crew sets up beach chairs and shade on the sand. When you tender into a waterfront restaurant in St. George's, the captain handles reservations and tender service. When the sunset paints the green hills behind Carriacou gold, your group is watching from the bow with a cold rum punch in hand. VIP charters can also include onboard chef-led cooking classes featuring Grenadian spices, professional photography, custom floral arrangements with local hibiscus and bougainvillea, traditional Grenadian musicians for an evening anchorage, and themed celebration packages. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to design your perfect Grenada VIP charter.
Grenada offers some of the most unique snorkeling in the Caribbean. The combination of healthy fringing reefs along the leeward coast, the world-famous Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park, and the protected Tobago Cays Marine Park just north of Carriacou creates a snorkel experience that ranges from artistic and unusual to classic Caribbean reef. Visibility on calm days regularly exceeds 60 feet, and water temperatures stay between 78 and 83 degrees year-round, making Grenada an outstanding snorkel destination in every season.
The Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park is the centerpiece of any Grenada snorkel itinerary. Conceived by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor and installed in 2006, the park contains 75 individual sculptures placed in 6 to 15 feet of clear water just off Moliniere Bay on Grenada's west coast. The sculptures depict human figures, faces, and scenes, and over the years they have become artificial reefs covered in coral growth and inhabited by reef fish. Snorkeling between the sculptures, watching schools of parrotfish and angelfish swim through the coral-encrusted human forms, is one of the most genuinely unique snorkel experiences in the Caribbean. Beyond the sculpture park, the Moliniere area has natural reefs with healthy coral coverage, frequent sea turtle sightings, and the kind of mixed reef ecosystem that the entire Grenadian leeward coast is known for.
Morning snorkeling at the Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park is the iconic Grenada snorkel experience. Arriving by private charter at first light, before the day-trip boats from St. George's arrive, gives your group the park entirely to themselves. The clear water, the morning light filtering down to illuminate the sculptures and surrounding coral, and the fish that have made the park their home create a snorkel experience unlike any other in the Caribbean. The park's southern boundary connects to a natural fringing reef that extends along the leeward coast, providing additional snorkeling beyond the sculpture installations themselves.
Sandy Island off Carriacou is one of the most photographed snorkel destinations in the Grenadines. The tiny patch of white sand and palm trees is surrounded by clear shallow water with extensive fringing reefs. Snorkeling around Sandy Island typically produces sightings of southern stingrays, eagle rays, schools of yellowtail snapper, parrotfish, queen angelfish, and abundant smaller reef species. The water is shallow enough for less experienced snorkelers and clear enough for experienced ones to enjoy the variety. A morning at Sandy Island followed by lunch on the boat at anchor in the protected lee of Carriacou is a classic Grenadines charter day.
The Tobago Cays Marine Park, two hours north of Carriacou into the southern Grenadines, is one of the great snorkel destinations of the entire Caribbean. The five uninhabited cays sit inside a horseshoe-shaped Horseshoe Reef that creates a protected natural lagoon with extraordinary water clarity and healthy reef ecosystems. Sea turtles are abundant in the park, and snorkelers regularly encounter green turtles grazing on the seagrass meadows near Petit Bateau cay. The reef itself supports dense populations of parrotfish, angelfish, surgeonfish, and the occasional reef shark or barracuda. A two-day stop in the Tobago Cays is the highlight of many longer Grenadines charters.
Beyond the famous spots, the leeward coast of Grenada offers a series of quieter snorkel sites that charter captains know well. Dragon Bay, just south of Moliniere, has a beautiful reef and is typically less crowded than the Sculpture Park area. Flamingo Bay south of Grand Anse offers calm protected snorkeling close to shore. The northern Grenada coast near Sauteurs has several reef sites accessible only by boat with healthy coral and excellent fish life. Your captain will read the conditions each morning and select the best snorkel locations for the day's wind and visibility.
Grenada, the Spice Island of the Caribbean, has emerged over the last decade as one of the most distinctive yacht charter destinations in the region. The combination of authentic Caribbean culture, the world-unique Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park, world-class beaches at Grand Anse, and the gateway position to the southern Grenadines and Tobago Cays creates a charter experience that travelers consistently rate among their best Caribbean visits.
The cultural heritage of Grenada runs deep. The island was contested for centuries between French and British colonial powers and the result is a unique cultural blend visible in language, cuisine, and place names. The nutmeg trade has been central to the Grenadian economy for over 200 years and the island remains one of the world's largest producers, with a nutmeg appearing on the national flag. The traditional spice industry has shaped both the rural landscape and the cuisine, and a Grenada charter inevitably touches the spice culture at multiple points: the smell of fresh nutmeg in St. George's, the spice-rubbed seafood on charter dinner tables, and the famous spice-infused rums of the local distilleries.
A typical full-day Grenada charter begins with morning departure from Port Louis Marina. The route works north along the leeward coast to Moliniere Bay for a morning snorkel at the Underwater Sculpture Park, then south for a midday stop at Grand Anse Beach for swimming and lunch at anchor. Afternoons can extend to Prickly Bay on the south coast for a waterfront restaurant lunch, or remain on the calm leeward coast for additional swimming and snorkel stops. Sunset returns to St. George's Harbour, with the colonial buildings of the capital lighting up against the green hills, conclude most charter days beautifully.
For longer charters, the route north to Carriacou opens up an entire additional cruising region. The 22-mile passage north is typically a comfortable trade-wind run, and Tyrell Bay on Carriacou's southwest coast provides a calm protected anchorage with easy access to Sandy Island just offshore. From Carriacou, the route continues into the southern Grenadines: Union Island for clearing customs into St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Mayreau, the Tobago Cays Marine Park, and Bequia. Many week-long Grenada charters extend to the Tobago Cays for the snorkeling and turtle encounters before returning south.
The dining experience on a Grenada charter is exceptional. Grenadian cuisine combines fresh Caribbean seafood, the famous local spices, and the agricultural abundance of a volcanic tropical island. Oil-down, the national dish, is a one-pot stew of breadfruit, salted meat, callaloo greens, and dumplings simmered in coconut milk. Fresh wahoo, mahi-mahi, and tuna come from local fishermen daily. Lobster, conch, and crab are abundant in season. The island produces excellent rum from several distilleries, including the historic River Antoine Rum Distillery that still uses water wheel power. A private chef on your charter pulls from the same daily catches and local markets that supply the best restaurants on the island.
The Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park deserves its reputation as a must-visit Grenada attraction. The 75 sculptures, installed since 2006 by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor and other contributors, sit in 6 to 15 feet of clear water just off Moliniere Bay. The original intent was to create artificial reef habitat to relieve pressure on natural reefs, and after two decades the sculptures are richly encrusted with coral growth and inhabited by reef fish. Snorkeling between the artistic forms while sea life passes through them is genuinely unlike any other underwater experience in the Caribbean. Most charters visit in the morning before tour boats arrive from St. George's.
Charter pricing in Grenada varies based on vessel size, charter duration, and itinerary. Costs typically include the charter fee, fuel for the cruising itinerary, food and beverage provisioning, port fees and Marine Park dues, and crew gratuity. We work with each client to build a charter package that matches the group, dates, and budget, with options ranging from short day charters along the leeward coast to multi-week Grenadines voyages. Call us at +1 (305) 515-4735 for current pricing.
Day Yacht Charters maintains a carefully selected Grenada fleet covering every group size and every charter format. We work with crews who have spent decades on the southern Caribbean charter circuit and who know the leeward anchorages, the Grenadines passages, the Tobago Cays Marine Park rules, and the best snorkel sites at every season's conditions. Every vessel goes out clean, properly provisioned, and crewed by professionals who are genuinely proud of the experience they provide. Call +1 (305) 515-4735 or contact us online to check current availability.
Grenada offers excellent charter conditions year-round, with the dry season from December through May delivering peak sunshine and the most reliable trade winds for sailing. June through November is the warmer green season, with lush vegetation, the famous Spicemas Carnival in August, and often more favorable charter pricing. Grenada sits south of the main Caribbean path, giving it some of the most reliable year-round charter weather in the region. Year-round temperatures stay between 75 and 88 degrees Fahrenheit and water temperatures remain warm and inviting in every season.
Yes. The Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park is the centerpiece of most Grenada charter itineraries. The park is located in 6 to 15 feet of water just off Moliniere Bay on the leeward west coast of Grenada, approximately 30 minutes by boat from Port Louis Marina. Snorkeling between the 75 sculptures, watching reef fish swim through the coral-encrusted human forms, is one of the most distinctive underwater experiences in the world. We schedule morning visits to arrive before the day-trip boats from St. George's, giving your group the park to yourselves for the best experience.
A typical Grenada charter begins at Port Louis Marina in St. George's, with a morning departure north along the leeward coast to the Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park for the first snorkel of the day. The route continues south to Dragon Bay or Grand Anse for swimming and a catered lunch at anchor. Afternoons typically include additional snorkel stops, beach time at Grand Anse, or a visit to Prickly Bay for a waterfront restaurant stop. Sunset returns to St. George's Harbour with the colorful colonial buildings lighting up against the green hills complete most days.
We recommend booking four to six weeks ahead for most dates and two to three months ahead for peak season periods from late December through early January and over Easter week. Grenada is a popular winter destination for European and North American visitors and the most desirable charter vessels book up quickly during the high season. Call us at +1 (305) 515-4735 and we will check current availability and match you with the right vessel for your group and dates.

Planning Your Grenada Yacht Charter
Grenada is reached via Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND), with direct flights from major US East Coast cities, the UK, and connecting service throughout the Caribbean. The airport is approximately 10 minutes by taxi from Port Louis Marina in St. George's, making the transition from international flights to charter departure unusually quick. Cruise ship calls to St. George's are also common during the high season.
Charter durations in Grenada typically run from day charters along the leeward coast up to week-long Grenadines island-hopping cruises. A standard day charter departs St. George's in the morning, includes a snorkel at Moliniere Sculpture Park, a swim at Grand Anse, and a sunset return. A three to five day charter typically covers Grenada plus Carriacou. A week-long charter can extend through the southern Grenadines to the Tobago Cays Marine Park and Bequia, returning south along the chain. Multi-week charters can extend as far north as St. Lucia or Martinique.
Payment options include credit card, PayPal, Zelle, and bank wire. A deposit secures your vessel and dates, with the balance due on charter day. Crew gratuity, typically 15 to 20 percent of the charter fee, is customarily paid in cash and is separate from the charter price. Note that some Grenadines anchorages including Tobago Cays Marine Park require National Park fees paid in cash on arrival.
