Itinerary

Day 1 Kingstown

Kingstown is the chief port of Saint Vincent, and the capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Kingstown is a center for the island's agricultural industry and a port of entry for tourists. France started a settlement here shortly after 1722. Kingstown is overlooked by Fort Charlotte on Berkshire Hill, just west of town. Over 600 feet above the bay, it is the major early 19th century fortification on Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The building work started at the turn of the century and was completed by 1806. In its heyday, it supported 600 troops and 34 guns. Some of the old barracks now house a museum with a colourful history of the Black Caribs or Garifuna depicted on its walls.

Enjoy a private airport transfer to the airport. The transfer is approximately 15 minutes.

The luxury Lagoon 440 represents the leading edge of catamaran design with decks unencumbered by sail tie-backs. The vessel was voted Charter Boat of the Year by cruising World Magazine 2005, and features headroom of 6'9'' throughout, an 8 person dining space in the rear cockpit, forward trampolines, forward bench seating, deck shower and air conditioning throughout. The open deckside allows for plenty of room to move around and enjoy the spectacular scenery. Inside, the air conditioned salon features large 360 degree windows, allowing for picture postcard views. All cruise departures include a captain and a chef/hostess. The vessel has air-conditioning in the main salon as well as having individual controls for each cabin. When at anchor, a generator which is located beneath the seat in the rear cockpit supplies the necessary energy to run the AC. For those who prefer the natural breeze, each cabin offers a cabin deck hatch and port hole as well as a top hatch in the bath which allows air to flow throughout this area.

The meeting time to board the yacht is at 5:00pm on Saturday- embarcation before this time is not possible as the crew will be busy cleaning and preparing for your trip. Enjoy some welcome cocktails and get to know your fellow passengers and crew before sitting down to a gourmet dinner aboard the yacht at the base this evening. Your crew will go through the details of what is in store for you over the next week of adventure at sea! Enjoy your first night onboard before the yacht departs tomorrow morning.

The Lagoon 440 Sailing catamaran features three guest cabins, each with private ensuite bathrooms. Each cabin features a queen size berth with individual reading lamps, hanging closet, drawers, cupboards and bathroom vanity providing plenty of privacy, comfort and storage space. The bathroom features a toilet, vanity, sink, medicine cabinet and shower/faucet. The charter layout features four cabins and four heads (one is taken up by crew and three are for guests). Internet is limited to certain locations and not available in all destinations. The catamaran is very stable and comfortable. All sailing is done during the day and anchored at night in protected coves and bays to assure a restful nights sleep.
