Give your Grenada holiday a clear island focus
Grenada is a south-eastern Caribbean island state comprising Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. The main island brings chocolate and spice traditions, rainforest landscapes, waterfalls and Grand Anse beach into the holiday discussion. Decide how much time you want aboard and which shore interests deserve time before, during or after the charter.
Carriacou offers a different cultural focus through its wooden-boatbuilding heritage and Big Drum music and dance. Petite Martinique, east of the northern part of Carriacou, also has strong fishing and boatbuilding associations. Give the operator a specific island wish list and agree the voyage it supports. A wider Grenadines proposal involving Saint Vincent and the Grenadines needs its own clearly defined country and itinerary scope.
Match your St. George’s arrival to the named marina
Read the exact marina in the selected offer. Grenada Yacht Club identifies its address as The Spout, Lagoon Road, St. George's. Port Louis Marina is a separate marina on Grenada's southwest coast by the capital. Obtain the yacht operator's meeting instructions, berth or office details, handover appointment and return arrangements for the boat you choose.
Maurice Bishop International Airport is Grenada's international air gateway. Coordinate your dated flight and onward transfer with the confirmed marina meeting. If your plans also include Carriacou, treat the additional inter-island air or ferry connection as a separate travel stage. Keep the operator's arrival contact and the agreed transfer arrangements with your booking documents.
Make room for the main island’s food and shore interests
Chocolate and spices can give the main-island part of the trip a useful focus. St. George's also offers the National Museum as an island-history interest, while Grand Anse, rainforest landscapes and waterfalls may shape time ashore. Choose the visits that matter to your group and check their current visitor arrangements when planning around the yacht appointment.
Connect those preferences with the onboard service you want. Discuss meals, any dietary needs and provision arrangements with the selected operator. For a Port Louis departure, the marina describes water and electricity, fuelling, guest showers and dining on site or adjoining it. Confirm which facilities and services your particular offer covers, including any payments and the practical arrangement for supplies.
Plan Carriacou and Petite Martinique deliberately
Carriacou's village of Windward is associated with traditional wooden-boatbuilding, and the island's Big Drum traditions offer another cultural interest to discuss. Petite Martinique's fishing and boatbuilding heritage adds a distinct reason to consider that island. Ask how your priorities fit the selected yacht, dates and proposed voyage, including shore arrangements and the return to the confirmed marina.
For a separate island stay before or after the charter, check the actual transport for those dates. Osprey Lines provides schedule resources for Grenada–Carriacou and Carriacou–Petite Martinique journeys and says rates and schedules can change. Confirm the operating service and its connection with accommodation, flights and your yacht meeting before committing to the travel plan.
Choose dates with local rainfall context and a current briefing
Grenada's national climate document describes a generally drier period from January to May and a wetter period from June to December. Rainfall varies with elevation and location. Use that broad seasonal context when discussing your preferences and travel dates, alongside the selected operator's booking terms and proposed voyage.
For the departure itself, ask the operator to review the relevant dated local marine forecasts and current warnings with you. Agree how proposed visits, passage decisions and the return arrangements will be handled for the selected yacht. Keep flexibility in the holiday brief and establish the practical procedure for communicating changes.
Compare crew scope and the complete dated offer
Choose between the services actually stated for the yacht you are considering. An included, obligatory or optional skipper has a different scope and price in the offer; clarify accommodation for your group and any requested crew, meals or equipment. If you want a bareboat charter, Charter Easy can help check the documents and acceptance with the selected company.
Compare charter price, known mandatory charges, payments at the marina and the refundable deposit separately. Resolve missing amounts and check payment, return and deduction conditions in the charter documents. Send Charter Easy your dates, group, preferred islands, budget and service needs for a focused shortlist. The team can help coordinate questions with the operator before departure, during the charter and after returning.
