Sail The Grenadines
A Day In Paradise
This unique day starts with 'flightseeing' from Tobago over Grenada and the southern Grenadines.
From 3500 - 4500 ft in a privately chartered 6-seater aircraft (Cesna plane) you can
trace your island tours and spot deserted beaches on uninhabited islands.
The 1 hour flight takes you to the centre of an unspoilt archipelago - Union Island.
You are met at the tiny airport and soon you board Scaramouche for a light pre-departure breakfast. Scaramouche is 80ft of pitchpine and white cedar; 60 tons of traditional island craftsmanship,
built in Carriacou by local shipwrights. It offers the majestic feel of a big old schooner under sail:
plenty of space and comfort, shade and sun. The catering is on a par with the scenery:
an excellent lunch is freshly prepared on board. This ship appeared in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’
(though you will probably not recognize it… and the crew has changed!).
You visit three anchorages:
MAYREAU: population approx. 200; one road; good snorkelling;
TOBAGO CAYS: five uninhabited islands on a horseshoe reef, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, palm trees, snorkelling and peerless Caribbean land- and seascapes. Here you enjoy lunch freshly prepared by the Captain, with a choice of good wine, beer, juice and rum punch, dessert and coffee.
PALM ISLAND: a resort island surrounded by reefs, for a final bathing session.
From here it's a 10 minutes sail back to Union Island, where you enter your plane for an evening flight back to Tobago! Sights, sounds, colours, the movements and creaking of the ship, the excellent catering - all these make it an unforgettable trip. It doesn’t get much better than this!
