Overview:

Sail Ionian is a friendly, family owned and run yacht charter company. Our second yacht charter base in now in operation in the Caribbean. We are operating from the new Port Louis Marina in Grenada, an ideal starting point for exploring the Grenadines, including the islands of Bequai, Union, Canouan, Mustique, St Vincent, Tobago Quays and Carriacou.

Skippered Learn to Sail Holidays:
We welcome all levels of experience and will plan your sailing trip to suit your holiday ambitions and crew. Learn as little or as much as you like. We can offer practice with navigation, mile building, night sailing, mooring techniques and all levels of sailing skills during your holiday. Also ideal for those looking for further experience outside of a flotilla or Ionian sailing as the skipper can be on board in the background and offer advise where needed.

Assisted Sailing:
Not sure if you have the confidence/skills required to bareboat charter in the Caribbean? Take a skipper for the first one or two days (or more) to refresh your skills and build confidence in this sailing area. Whenever you want to sail yourselves the skipper will leave the yacht and take a ferry/flight home from whichever island you are on, ensuring you have a route plan with support mooring at night in all the places you visit. Sail Ionian offers full support to all of our clients in the Grenadines. The yachts are generally larger in the Caribbean than other sailing destinations, you are navigating around reefs and you will be reefing sails daily. Our assisted option is there to can help build crew confidence and ability from the start so you can enjoy your holiday without any stress! You will also get some handy tips on fishing and local customs!

About the area:

This is the 'Spice Isle' of the Caribbean; a geographical gem where visitors can sink into the serenity of warm breezes and soft moonlight; feel history in centuries old forts; touch the floor of the rain forest and swim among coral reefs. This is the land of spices, exotic flowers and rare fruits; the three island nation of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique and the gateway to the Grenadines.
