Grenada, the Spice Isle of the Caribbean, is a rolling, mountainous island, covered with fragrant spice trees and rare tropical flowers. Bordered by stunning beaches and dotted with picturesque towns, this verdant island has long been a major source of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and cocoa.
The capital, St. George', is widely held to be the loveliest city in the Caribbean. Its horseshoe-shaped harbour is surrounded by pastel rainbow coloured dockside warehouses and the red-tiled roofs of traditional shops and homes. Set sail for sister island Carriacou with its beaches of fine sand and natural harbours and you are near the heart of the Grenadines.

Marina & starting point
Mr. Hartman Bay marina is easily accessed through flights originating from the U.S. Only a 15-minute taxi ride from Port Salines International Airport, the Moorings 50-slip marina at our Secret Harbour Resort is one of the best in the Caribbean. Consider staying a few extra days here. February through September are the best months for a one-way sail through the unspoiled Grenadines to St. Lucia.
