Located in the heart of the Caribbean, Grenada is an island paradise. Its nickname, "Spice Isle," is earned from its abundant production of spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, cocoa, and cloves. Chartering a yacht here lets you enjoy the fragrant air from your deck, paired with breathtaking views of the island's glorious coastline and beaches. If you and your guests are looking for a luxurious yacht vacation with a bit of adventure and lively festivals, Grenada is the place for you.

Grenada produces more spices per square mile than any other place in the world, and your yacht charter party will find ample opportunities to experience the island's spice heritage firsthand. Local farms and markets provide aromatic spices to take home, and visiting the Dougaldston Spice Estate is essential for those interested in traditional spice processing methods.

Beyond its flavors, Grenada's culture is as rich. For any guest who wants to immerse themselves in the culture, attending Spicemas is a must. Taking place on the second Monday and Tuesday in August, this lively carnival fills the streets with color, costumes, dance, and music—ranging from soca to reggae. Spicemas is a highlight on the island's social calendar.

During your yacht vacation, you will find endless opportunities for exploration in Granada, which has 45 different beaches across the island. Grande Anse Beach, a famous two-mile stretch of white sand and calm, clear water, is ideal for water skiing, parasailing, or simply soaking up the sun. For a quieter experience, Morne Rouge Beach, lined with almond trees, is perfect for snorkeling and observing the island's marine life.

Art enthusiasts onboard should not miss the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park. Located in Molinere Bay, this underwater gallery by artist Jason deCaires Taylor features life-sized sculptures on the ocean floor, creating a haunting yet beautiful site for snorkelers and divers. The sculptures are an artificial reef home to colorful coral, fish, and sea turtles, which adds to the surreal beauty of this aquatic museum.

Grenada's interior is as charming as its coastlines. St. George's, the island's capital, is a harbor town with rainbow-colored buildings and bountiful markets. The historic Carenage waterfront is perfect for a stroll, and Fort George offers sweeping views of St. George's Bay. Further exploration inland reveals the Royal Mount Carmel Waterfalls, where two majestic falls plunge 70 feet into pools below.

Grenada is an ideal departure point for a charter exploring the nearby Grenadines. From the Grenada marina, you can sail to Carriacou, known as the "Land of Reefs." Coral reefs surround this tiny island and offer scuba diving spots, particularly around Sandy Island and Saline Island. Other popular destinations include Union Island and Tobago Cays Marine Park.

The major marinas in Grenada include the Grenada Yacht Club and the Camper & Nicholsons Port Louis Marina. These facilities offer amenities and berths for yachts, with easy access to nearby islands like Carriacou and Petite Martinique and the stunning Grenadines.
