About Our 14-Day Southern Caribbean Grand Loop
The route travels from Tortola through St Martin, Antigua, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent, the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago. Each stage introduces a different aspect of the Caribbean, from internationally recognised marina destinations to protected reefs, traditional island communities and open-ocean sailing.
This is an ambitious programme involving significant distances. The captain may revise the order, duration or inclusion of stops according to weather, currents, port access, customs formalities and guest comfort. Such adjustments ensure that the experience remains safe, practical and enjoyable while preserving the overall character of the grand southern route.
Day 1 - Tortola to Virgin Gorda
The first day begins with a short cruise toward Virgin Gorda. Guests can visit The Baths, swim among distinctive granite formations and enjoy calm water before the longer passages begin. The crew introduces the yacht's facilities, safety arrangements and service programme while guests settle into their cabins. A relaxed dinner at anchor provides an elegant opening to the journey.
Day 2 - St Martin and Sint Maarten
The yacht crosses toward St Martin and Sint Maarten, where French and Dutch influences share one island. Simpson Bay or Marigot may be used for anchoring or marina access. Guests can explore beaches, boutiques, restaurants and lively waterfront areas. The destination also provides useful operational support before the yacht proceeds deeper into the Caribbean chain.
Day 3 - Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua welcomes the yacht with historic harbours and a strong sailing heritage. English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour offer access to Nelson's Dockyard, marina facilities and elegant waterfront venues. Guests may choose a cultural visit, beach excursion or a private day aboard. Provisioning and route preparation are completed before the southbound voyage continues.
Day 4 - Guadeloupe
Stronger trade-wind sailing carries the yacht to Guadeloupe. The island's volcanic coastline, rainforest, waterfalls and French Caribbean culture provide numerous options for exploration. Deshaies or Pointe-à-Pitre may be selected according to conditions. A guided nature excursion can be combined with lunch ashore, or guests may remain onboard and enjoy the yacht's spa, pool and sun deck.
Day 5 - Dominica
Dominica offers a dramatic natural landscape of mountains, rivers, hot springs and dense tropical forest. Anchorage near Roseau or Portsmouth provides access to eco-tourism activities and scenic inland routes. The island's relatively quiet coastline is ideal for guests who appreciate nature, privacy and destinations less influenced by large-scale development.
Day 6 - Martinique
The yacht continues to Martinique, entering a destination that combines well-developed marina services with elegant French Caribbean culture. Le Marin and Fort-de-France offer dining, shopping, historic sites and provisioning facilities. Guests may enjoy a leisurely shore programme or return early for sunset cocktails and a personalised dinner prepared by the onboard culinary team.
Day 7 - St Lucia
The route reaches St Lucia, where the Pitons create one of the most recognisable views in the Caribbean. Soufrière or Rodney Bay may be chosen depending on the planned activities. Snorkelling, beaches, volcanic attractions and scenic drives can be arranged. An evening anchored beneath the island's mountainous coastline provides an unforgettable setting for outdoor dining.
Day 8 - St Vincent
St Vincent introduces a more rugged character, with steep green terrain, waterfalls and quieter communities. Wallilabou Bay or Kingstown can provide access to the island. Guests can explore ashore, swim near the yacht or enjoy an afternoon wellness programme. Consistent trade winds maintain engaging sailing conditions during the southward progression.
Day 9 - Bequia and Mustique
The yacht enters the Grenadines, where short island distances and calm anchorages create ideal conditions for relaxed cruising. Bequia and Mustique offer contrasting experiences, from traditional maritime charm to polished private-island surroundings. Coral reefs, clear bays and attractive beaches allow the day to focus on swimming, snorkelling, tender visits and informal island discovery.
Day 10 - Tobago Cays
Tobago Cays Marine Park is among the itinerary's most visually striking destinations. Protected lagoons, reef systems, sandbars and abundant marine life create excellent conditions for snorkelling with turtles. The crew can arrange a beach picnic, watersports session or extended afternoon beside the yacht's beach club. Calm water and vivid tropical colours make this a natural highlight.
Day 11 - Grenada
The yacht reaches Grenada, with potential arrival in St George's or Prickly Bay. Known for spice markets, lush hills and colourful local culture, Grenada offers a rewarding mixture of nature and urban exploration. Guests may tour the island, visit markets, enjoy coastal dining or relax onboard before the route moves into the deeper southern Caribbean.
Day 12 - Offshore Passage to Barbados
A longer open-water passage leads toward Barbados. The bridge team manages navigation, watchkeeping and weather monitoring while guests enjoy a full day aboard. The yacht's wellness and entertainment facilities become especially valuable during this sector. Spa appointments, cinema screenings, fitness sessions and leisurely dining can be arranged before arrival in Barbados.
Day 13 - Trinidad and Tobago
The journey continues toward Trinidad and Tobago, reaching the southernmost section of the itinerary. Mangrove coastlines, protected bays and culturally diverse communities create a different Caribbean atmosphere. Depending on arrival timing, guests may enjoy a shore excursion, coastal exploration or an evening event onboard. The destination reflects the route's progression from the northern islands to the region's deeper southern waters.
Day 14 - Northbound Return Passage
The final day begins the return passage toward the Virgin Islands, following the Windward chain north. This is a substantial navigation sector and may form part of a wider repositioning plan determined by the captain. Guests enjoy a farewell programme onboard while the yacht proceeds through open Caribbean waters. Final disembarkation timing and location are confirmed according to the approved operational route.

An elevator, wheelchair-accessible features, helipad, bathing platform, outdoor shower and underwater lighting add operational convenience and enhance the overall guest experience.

The Caribbean on a Truly Grand Scale
This fourteen-day charter is designed for travellers who want to experience the Caribbean as a broad and interconnected region rather than a single island destination. The route combines established yachting centres, remote anchorages, marine parks, cultural capitals and meaningful offshore passages within one continuous private experience.
The yacht's exceptional volume and the support of twenty-five crew members allow every stage to remain comfortable and personalised. Guests may pursue active exploration, reserve entire days for wellness and privacy or blend both approaches according to mood and destination. For families, friends and distinguished groups seeking an ambitious southern Caribbean voyage with world-class facilities, this grand loop represents an outstanding opportunity to travel in privacy, flexibility and uncompromising luxury.
