There is a side of the Caribbean that refuses to be rushed, a quiet string of emerald islands rising from a sea so brilliant it defies description. While the world moves at an unrelenting pace, the Grenadines’ invitation is simple: to slow down, catch the trade winds, and let the rhythm of the tides dictate your days.
This week, we invite you to move away from the familiar and embark on an expansive 10-night journey from the dramatic volcanic peaks of Saint Lucia to the spice-scented shores of Grenada. This hand-crafted itinerary is designed for those who seek the romance of true blue-water sailing, hidden anchorages, and an elegant, unhurried pace of life.
To elevate this voyage, we are thrilled to spotlight our Yacht of the Week: BODHISATTVA. This elegant 64’ sailing yacht delivers an authentic, classic monohull experience seamlessly blended with modern luxury. For the 2026 season, Bodhisattva has unveiled stunning brand-new media content and an updated 3D Virtual Tour, allowing you to immerse yourself in her refined interiors before ever leaving home.
To celebrate the launch of her new look, Bodhisattva is offering an exclusive 5% discount on all new charters booked and sailed between now and December 31st, 2026 (valid for bookings confirmed before October 15th, 2026; holiday weeks excluded).
