Carriacou
Carriacou is a well-kept secret. A slow-placed Shangri-La with spectacular beaches and superb reef diving. Forget Grenada, join the hummingbirds and osprey on this pristine atoll instead.

You came to the Caribbean to slow down. Get a feel for real island life. Charter a Y.CO yacht to Carricaou and you can do just that. Lesser known than Grenada’s other two islands, the traditional, relaxed ‘Isle of Reefs’ beckons with unspoilt coral systems for leisurely exploration. Then it’s time to soak up the rich culture of dance and taste a tipple (or two) from one of over 100 rum shops on the island.

Reasons to Visit Carriacou
Quaint fishing villages and protected turquoise bays. The odd visiting boat or two. Good rum. No, great rum. Stunning coves torn directly from the World's Greatest Beaches catalogue. Fresh grilled lobster. A pace of life measured in high tides. Swaying palms. Drift dives on Atlantic currents. Resident barracudas, octopuses, barracudas and eagle rays. Sharks too. And that's not all. Here are three more reasons to charter a Carriacou yacht.
Carriacou isn’t called the ‘Isle of Reefs’ for nothing. Stretches of unspoilt coral and the calm waters on the island’s Caribbean side nurture diving novices but diving pros won’t miss out. It’s one of the best places to get snap-happy, with excellent year-round visibility for any budding underwater paparazzo. Position your yacht at Sisters Rocks, east of L'Esterre Bay. This protected area is abuzz with hammerhead sharks, eagle rays and humpback whales.
Barely a mile end-to-end, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this tiny volcanic atoll, northeast of Carriacou, was a yacht-and-flop pit stop. Sure, kick back on Mang Beach, cocktail in hand, floating in its reef-formed pool. But Petite Martinique offers much more. Kayak through sea caves at Darant Bay. Surf at Sanchez Beach. Hike to the summit of the Piton volcano. And still get back on your Y.CO yacht charter by dinner.
Chuck the yacht keys to the skipper, you’re going native. Carriacou has a little more than a taste for excellent rum. Sure, you can pick up a bottle at any of its 100-plus rum shops, but you need to try the good stuff – Jack Iron Rum. This 99%-proof moonshine is legendary here, so much so it’s not allowed out of the country. Enquire discreetly at La Playa on Beausejour Bay (and pack headache tablets).
