How do I plan a sailing route in Italy?
22 minute read

Grenada and the Grenadines offer steady trade winds, clear water, and island hops that fit all crews. Start in St George’s at Port Louis Marina. Routes reach Carriacou, Union Island, Mayreau, and the Tobago Cays. Expect protected anchorages, reef-fringed lagoons, and easy sail plans.
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. We plan routes, moorings, fuel stops, and customs. Briefings cover park rules, no-anchor coral zones, and winter swell on Atlantic sides. Reserve popular moorings in season and arrive by early afternoon.

Provision in St George’s and fuel at Port Louis. Day-sail north along the leeward shore. Swim the Underwater Sculpture Park in Molinière Bay. Dragon Bay and Halifax offer sand patches and good holding. Prickly Bay and Hog Island give shelter on the south coast with easy shore access. Avoid exposed Atlantic coves in swell. Anchor on sand, never on coral or seagrass.

Clear customs at Tyrell Bay when routing north. The bay has moorings, services, and calm nights. Sandy Island is a marine protected area with bright sand and reef. Anchor on sand only and follow buoyed zones. Hillsborough is close for shops and bakeries. In settled weather, add Anse La Roche for a quiet swim stop.

Check in or out at Clifton on Union Island. Watch the reef and kite area near Frigate. Mayreau’s Salt Whistle Bay has a narrow sand bar and limited space, arrive early. The Tobago Cays Marine Park is the highlight. Pick up park moorings where marked, no fishing or collecting. Snorkel with turtles at Baradal and drift along Horseshoe Reef. Nights are beautiful and breezy. Plan returns with the wind and current in your favor.
