St Vincent
and The Grenadines
tips & insights

Sail up or down
the Grenadines?

Sail down (southward), not up (northward). If you sail up, you will be spending substantial time and effort tacking instead of running with the wind.

Many coves

Your yacht could be the only one in a cove. Ditto when you island hop to your next Grenadines destination.

No yacht?

You can easily charter one, with or without a crew. Or, you can take a ferry to some of the islands.

Nightlife

Don't come to the Grenadines if nightlife is a priority. It hardly exists.

Language

The official Grenadine language is English, though French and Patois are also common.

Island statistics

The combined land area is 390 square kilometers (150 square miles). There are 120,000 residents.
