Location Details:*** DELANA MAE WILL BE AVAILBLE UPON REQUEST IN JUNE & JULY OF 2026 IN GRENADA, ST VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES *** St. Vincent to Grenada 2024/2025 Sample Itinerary (a brief rundown of the itinerary we recommend and are most likely to follow if all conditions allow):  Guests fly into St. Vincent, Argyle International Airport (SVD), suggested 1+ days before charter start. Same day is possible for a sleep aboard. Onboarding is preferred to take place on the island of Bequia. Bequia is about a 60min ferry ride from the southern port of Kingstown on mainland St. Vincent. Depending upon how well the airline arrival lines up, it would be best to ferry to Bequia and either plan a sleep aboard Delana Mae or organize to stay at The Plantation hotel (our recommended hotel). There are several other AirBnB type accommodations available as well you can find on the internet. If the flights do not line up easily for the ferry the day of arrival, I would recommend rooms at Blue Lagoon Marina on the southern coast of mainland St. Vincent. From there the ferry can be taken in the morning From Kingstown to Bequia to meet and onboard Delana Mae. From there we start our adventures south! We have 7 nights to choose anchorages including the final night aboard in Grenada.  1. Bequia. One night in Bequia is great whether it be in a hotel or sleep aboard. Any extra time in Bequia is fun and allows us to explore the cute town, unique hand made model boat museum and even the turtle rescue sanctuary, Old Hague.  2. Lunch on the island of Canoaun at Sandy Lane Yacht Club. Quite possibly the nicest marina in all of the Caribbean… and we love to do a “boujee” lunch ashore here. It’s not pricey, but it is very beautiful and delicious.  Overnight in Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau. THIS is Jenna and I’s favorite beach on the planet. It will also be the location of our wedding in August 2025! There is so much to see on this quaint little island (lobster beach BBQ’s and/or rum punches at Last Bar Before The Jungle, a tiny little Catholic Church with the biggest Caribbean view, and the nicest rasta you’ll ever meet, Robert Righteous).  3. The Tobago Cays. Of our favorite places in the Grenadines, if the coin had Mayreau on one side… this would be on the other side! 5 uninhabited islands, 1 sea turtle sanctuary to snorkel, short little hikes with iguanas and tortoises and an incredible beach BBQ right on the sandy shore. Oh, and “why is the rum gone?” Petit Tabac is the island they filmed that famous scene from Pirates Of the Caribbean on! 4. Union Island, Clifton Harbor. Fancy taking a kiteboarding lesson?! This is the spot. Or, if watching the pros on display is better, then we grab a seat on Happy Island and sip rum punches on the manmade island, built from conch shells and sack concrete… an amazing place in the world to be for sundowners.  5. Union island, Chatham Bay. If you love the remoteness of the southern Caribbean, then this is another wonderful and beautiful bay to enjoy. Perfect for our eFoil board and all the snorkeling you can handle. Maybe we’ll have a little bonfire on the beach and there is always the option for more lobster beach BBQ! 6. Carriacou, Anse La Roche, Grenada. Paradise perfected. If we only do one beach BBQ dinner ashore, this is the one. Our good friend Tim puts on the best and most beautiful, rustic beach dinner spread you can imagine, after a snorkel around the pristine Sandy Cay of course.  7. St. George’s, Grenada. We’ve made it to the other beautiful end, time to celebrate! We can stay anchored out or pull in and have ourselves a docktail party at our final destination of Port Louis Marina. :) After that last night of charter, you could add a sleep aboard night or if you want to stay on the beach at one of the many nice hotels Grenada has to offer on Grand Anse Beach, then we can arrange some island exploring (Volcano lake Grand Etang, mona monkeys, waterfalls, chocolate and rum factories too). We totally understand if you have to get on that plane ASAP… but we already know you won’t want to!  We can even get to Grenada a night sooner if you want to be sure to make an island tour happen before you fly out. There are lots of easy options to swap around when you are here.  -Captain RJ All cruising permits, park fees, customs and immigration fees included for Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. St. Lucia to Grenada is also an available option by inquiry.

March 2023

It is extremely rare in life when you find reality substantially exceeds ones expectations. This was one of those times. Our week was in a word, extraordinary.

February 2022

1. Crew Friendliness:
RJ and Jenna could not have been more hospitable!! They were so gracious to all of us and made sure we were all individually having a great time.

2. Crew Knowledge:
Jenna really knows her stuff in the kitchen for different dietary preferences, and did a great job making delicious and healthy food for all of us.  Her plating and tablescapes were creative and inviting.  RJ knows so much about the industry, the area, the boat, the technology...we really enjoyed our talks while underway, and how he pointed out interesting stuff we would have otherwise missed.  We learned alot, and not just about Pirates' DIce.

3. Quality of Service:
Top Notch.  Everything we asked for, we got, including a swim with a turtle!

4. The Professionalism of Crew:
Jenna and RJ were very professional in what they handled, they worked well together, and they did it in an approachable manner.  They are a stellar team.

5. Value of the Cost of the Charter:
We really appreciate everyone handling the change from the original charter to the Delana Mae.

6. On-Board Cuisine:
Outstanding

7. Destination / Location:
USVI are beautiful, and getting to see them from a catamaran makes them more so.

8. Water-Sports:
Great toys to use, especially the Hangout.  It was used quite a bit.

9. Overall Satisfaction:
This vacation will be difficult to top.  May have to repeat.

10. What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?
RJ is a champ when it came to photos and videos with his GoPro and the drone.  He created a library for us to share our photos, and having those to look back on will always put smiles on our faces. It is difficult to pick just one.  In general - how attentive and fun RJ and Jenna were. RJ and Jenna know all the fun things to do!  We loved having pizza delivery via dinghy and a great highlight was probably our lunch at Lime Out.  Such a unique experience!
