Yacht charter in Saint George's

Where do charters depart from in Saint George's?

Most charters depart from Port Louis Marina or Grenada Yacht Club in Saint George's. These are the clearest verified departure points for the port.

Port Louis Marina is the base named in Grenada charter itineraries, while Grenada Yacht Club is an active boarding location listed for Saint George's catamarans. Both are convenient for crews starting on the south side of Grenada.

What can I reach on a day trip from Saint George's?

A day trip from Saint George's can cover Grenada’s south coast bays, calm anchorages, and nearby swimming stops. Verified examples include Prickly Bay and Morne Rouge Bay, both south of the capital.

For longer full-day plans, charter operators also reference island routes toward Carriacou and the Grenadines, including Union Island and Tobago Cays. Those routes are more suited to multi-day itineraries than a simple day outing.

When is the best sailing season in Saint George's?

The best sailing window is generally the drier, steadier part of the year, with Grenada charters commonly described around the winter and spring months. Sunsail notes average winds of about 14 knots in April and May, while August to November averages about 10 knots.

For Saint George's, this means the shoulder-to-winter period is usually the most comfortable for relaxed coastal cruising, while summer and early autumn can still work but may bring lighter wind. Mooring and itinerary choices should always reflect the forecast and season.

Do I need a licence or skipper to charter in Grenada?

For bareboat sailing in Grenada, Sunsail states the destination is a level 3 sailing experience and requires 20 days or 400 miles of skipper experience. That makes bareboat charter more suitable for experienced sailors.

If you do not meet that level, a skippered charter is the practical option in Saint George's. Click&Boat also shows skipper hire as an added cost in Saint George's listings.

How do I get to Saint George's for a yacht charter?

The nearest airport is Maurice Bishop Airport, and Click&Boat specifically recommends starting from Saint Georges on the south of the island because the airport is located there. That makes the transfer to the charter base relatively short.

Port Louis Marina and the Saint George's harbour area are close to the airport side of Grenada, so taxi transfers are generally straightforward. A Grenada charter source cites taxi transfers at around $25 for 1 to 4 people, which gives a useful rough reference for local ground transport.
