Grenada and its sister islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique are known for their spectacular clear waters. Activities both above and below the water entice visitors to these islands year after year. Located outside of the hurricane belt at 12 N, our islands provide smooth sailing and safe anchorage, all year round.

Carriacou, the Gateway to the Grenadines, is the perfect starting point for a sailing vacation up the islands, and we have many companies who will arrange bare boats, crewed yachts or charters to suit your vacation needs. Go to Sailing. 

As the yachting industry in Grenada continues to grow, we expect more marinas and boatyards to come on stream, providing dry dock facilities and ever increasing repair and restocking facilities. Go to Marinas.

Every year Grenada hosts a variety of water based activities including the SpiceIsle Bill Fishing Tournament, Grenada Sailing Festival, Carriacou Easter Regatta and monthly yacht races by the Grenada Yacht Club. Go to Calendar of Events.

Yachting Information. Grenada uses the IALA B (red right returning rule). Unless you draw more than 10 feet you will not have to pay attention to the two big ship channel buoys outside of St. George’s or use the leading (range) marks.

On Arrival. Arriving yachts should display the yellow ‘Q’ flag and the courtesy flag of Grenada from the starboard spreader of the main mast. Click here for Clearance details.

Anchoring. Yachts shall not anchor anywhere in the Grand Anse Bay area or in the Carenage (Grenada), or by the oyster beds in Harvey Vale (Carriacou). Yachts may not anchor within 200 metres offshore of any beach in Grenada, Carriacou or Petite Martinique. Visiting yachtsmen should check with customs to see if they need a coastwide clearance (for which there is no charge), to visit the other islands and harbours.
