Exclusivity exudes from the island of Mustique. A firm favorite of the British Royal Family and other high-society names, this beautiful island is one of 32 that make up the magic corners of St Vincent and the Grenadines. The island is privately owned, and security is high, making its blissful blue beaches and picturesque villages a dream for those who want to escape prying eyes. Dotted with enchanting estates owned by the rich and famous and with bays like Britannia and Endeavor teeming with underwater life, charter guests will truly feel fabulously free as they swim, snorkel, and soak up the sophisticated vibes of this elite island.
The five small uninhabited islands of the Tobago Cays (Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau, Baradol, Petit Tabac, and Jamesby) make for a soul-nourishing charter destination. Adorned with coral reefs, pure white beaches, and beautiful bays, this marine national park is a sailing haven. Snorkeling with green sea turtles is a must, especially along the coral-clad Horseshoe Reef. Film buffs can also maroon themselves in the same spot as Jack Sparrow on the lush picnic spot of Petit Tabac. Active guests can clamber and climb for rewarding vistas, especially on the islands of Petit Bateau, Petit Rameau, and James Bay.
Chill out for the day and do more snorkeling!
A secluded Caribbean destination, Chatham Bay is only minutes away from the pristine waters of Tobago Cays. This whole area is a jewel in the crown of St Vincent and the Grenadines offering a whole host of clear water swimming, exotic snorkeling, and sublime nature trails. This curve of sun soaked sand seems perfectly at home on Union Island and offers endless options for adventure on both sea and land. World class diving can be found in the surrounding reefs for those who want to witness the sheer joy of swimming alongside seahorses and admiring stunning coral displays. The coastline located north of the bay is also perfect for a snorkeling session. Many species can be observed in its shallow waters: Moray eels, porcupinefish, angelfish and even lobsters, which seem to appreciate the bay’s rocky seabed. Kayaking around the hidden cays and picnicking on deserted shores is always a dream and for those who want to kitesurf there’s a pro center close by. Chatham Bay is also home to lavish resort stays where you can wine and dine and bliss out in five-star beauty.
Canouan, which means "turtle" in Carib, is best visited by yacht. This small hook-shaped island lies halfway along the Grenadines chain and is equipped with a modern airport that can handle mid-sized jets, a championship golf course, beautiful villas, and a couple of luxury resorts, making it the playground of billionaires. When all the luxury amenities become too tiring, there are plenty of isolated bays off which you can anchor and four pristine, pearly white, sandy beaches with turquoise waters to snorkel.
The little island of Bequia is in fact the second largest island of the Grenadines, at only 7 square miles and with a population of around 5000. Here you will be spoiled by a relaxed atmosphere with friendly locals, unspoiled scenery and picture perfect beaches. The island's Capital, Port Elizabeth, is the only commercial settlement on the island, where you can enjoy visiting touristy souvenir shops and relax with a cocktail at one of the lovely bars. For a fantastic sunset view, it is worth hiking up to Mount Pleasant or if SCUBA diving is your preferred activity, this area is another diving hotspot of the Caribbean. You will find plenty of dive sites here where you can spot hawksbill turtles, moray eels and lobsters plus great snorkeling in Friendship Bay between the beaches of Princess Margaret and Lower Bay. snorkelling trips are offered by all Bequia's Dive Shops, with equipment available for hire or purchase.

What to see and do in St Vincent
Sitting on the southern part of St Vincent, the Blue Lagoon Marina is one of the most beautiful anchorages you could wish for when chartering the island chains of St Vincent and the Grenadines. This is the northernmost island in the group and is an 8-mile journey from Bequia. Protected by two sprawling reef systems, the Blue Lagoon is every bit as protected and calm as its name suggests. Vibrant in shades of turquoise and sapphire, it’s a glorious spot to drop anchor and soak up sublime beauty seasoned with five-star services. The marina is well-facilitated and comes laced in boutique bliss. From a chic beach bar for cocktail sipping to fine dining at the restaurant, splurging on treats in the Blue Lagoon Marketplace, and kicking back on a pretty pool bed. There’s lots of opportunities for snorkeling and diving close by.
