Cruise in Grenadines

What Is a Cabin Charter Grenadines?

A cabin charter in The Grenadines offers an easy and sociable way to experience a sailing holiday in the Caribbean without chartering an entire yacht. Instead of booking the whole boat you reserve a private cabin aboard a fully crewed yacht and share the experience with a small group of like-minded travellers.

Unlike a bareboat charter, there is no need for sailing experience, route planning or yacht management. Your professional crew takes care of navigation, daily logistics and onboard service, allowing you to focus entirely on enjoying the journey.

Most cabin charters in The Grenadines take place aboard spacious catamarans, chosen for their stability, comfort and generous outdoor living areas. These yachts are perfectly suited to island hopping (Grenadines) through the crystal clear waters of the Southern Caribbean. From the Tobago Cays to Bequia, Mustique and Union Island, every stop reveals a different side of The Grenadines.

Booking is simple: select your preferred itinerary, choose your cabin category and join the yacht at the designated departure marina.

Benefits of a cabin cruise in the Grenadines

1. Comfort & Convenience

A catamaran cruise in the Grenadines is different from a traditional sailing charter. You get your own cabin. There is no stress or planning needed.
The professional crew handles navigation, anchoring, and safety, leaving you free to relax, swim, or sip a rum punch on deck.

2. Unique Access to Remote locations

A sailing cruise in the Grenadines is the perfect blend of privacy and community.
You will visit marine sanctuaries like Tobago Cays. You can snorkel with turtles and rays. You can relax on quiet beaches like Mayreau or Petit Tabac. You will also enjoy real local experiences at beach bars, markets, and reggae nights.

3. Social Yet Intimate Atmosphere

A sailing cruise in the Grenadines is the perfect blend of privacy and community.
You enjoy your own cabin but share meals, excursions, and sunsets with like-minded travelers.
Experiences like snorkeling with turtles or beach barbecues foster natural connections, while the setting remains welcoming and safe for solo travelers.

4. Flexible Itineraries & Expertise on Board

Unlike rigid cruise schedules, smaller cabin cruises can adjust plans based on weather, mood, or group interests.
The captain and crew often know hidden places. These include a secret snorkeling reef, a quiet spot for sunset, or a beach shack with the best lobster.
The itinerary can flex to accommodate your every need, something big cruise ships can’t offer.

Which sailing cruise in the Grenadines is right for you?

Depending on your plans and preferences, there are several catamaran cruise options available in the Grenadines:

• As a couple or in a small group: opt for a cabin charter. You book a private double cabin with en-suite bathroom, whilst sharing the boat with other guests. It’s an excellent way to enjoy a catamaran cruise in the Grenadines for the price of a single cabin.
• For groups or families: a private charter in the Grenadines is the ideal option. You’ll have a catamaran all to yourselves, with a skipper and hostess on board. The cost is shared amongst all participants, making this option particularly good value for money.

Most cabin cruises depart from Le Marin in Martinique, with meals included (lunch and/or dinner on board). In any case, whether you choose a private charter or a cabin option, you’ll enjoy the comfort provided by a professional crew: an experienced skipper to handle the sailing and an attentive hostess to look after your meals and comfort.
