How do guests rate Vital Charters?
We could not have had a better experience with Vital Charters. They helped us book a yacht charter vacation in the BVI. Super responsive and professional. Jason helped us pick a great yacht for our family trip. Our crew was amazing too!

Our trip to the British Virgin Islands was one of the best trips we’ve ever done with family. Vitals Charters did a great job of making it easy for our first time. Thanks so much!
Marco · September 2026 · Google
Had an awesome time chartering a yacht with a bunch of buddies to celebrate our 40th birthdays. A lot of fun and the crew was exceptional. We decided to try the Caribbean this time and will most likely do the British Virgin Islands (BVI) our next time around. Probably won’t wait till 50 though! We’d like to get back out with the crew as soon as possible. Unreal experience!

- Dream Yacht Charter is not listed. Its Caribbean page names four bases, in the Virgin Islands, Guadeloupe, St. Martin and Martinique, and none in Grenada or St. Vincent (October 7, 2026).
- The Moorings no longer lists a Canouan base, and Sunsail's St. Vincent page returns an error. Both start Grenadines charters from Grenada (October 7, 2026).

Which brokers sell Grenadines charters?
14 brokers sell Grenadines charters, Vital Charters among them. None of the offices listed below is in St. Vincent or Grenada: the named ones are in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. Using one does not raise the price, because the commission is already inside the yacht's weekly rate.

Who actually manages the crewed yachts?
16 companies manage the 44 crewed yachts that name the Grenadines, St. Vincent or Grenada. The five largest are below.
| Managing company | Crewed yachts | Share of the 44 yachts |
|---|---|---|
| CharterPort BVI | 7 | 15.9% |
| Nicholson Yachts | 6 | 13.6% |
| Paradise Yacht Clearing | 6 | 13.6% |
| Regency Yacht Charters (Regency Yacht Vacations, Ltd.) | 4 | 9.1% |
| Pyper Yachts | 4 | 9.1% |
Every broker on this page draws on these same managing companies, so the yachts you are shown will overlap from one broker to the next. What differs is the advice: which yacht and crew suit your group, and how the booking is handled. Choose a broker on that. Why do different yacht charter brokers all offer the same boats?
What does a crewed week in the Grenadines cost?
A crewed week on a yacht that names the Grenadines has a median all-inclusive rate of $29,000, the lowest of the four destinations in these company lists (the BVI, the Bahamas, St. Martin and St. Barts, and the Grenadines). Only five yachts are priced plus expenses, too few to publish a median.
Swipe sideways to see every column
| Charter model | Median week | Typical range | Yachts priced |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive | $29,000 | $20,875 to $36,250 | 39 |
| Plus expenses | Too few yachts to publish | 5 | |
All-inclusive rates cover food, drinks and fuel. Plus-expenses rates add an advance provisioning allowance (APA) for those on top. Neither includes crew gratuity.
For context, 186 crewed yachts are available to cruise the wider Windward Islands: the median all-inclusive week is $32,000 (104 yachts) and the median plus-expenses week is $59,400 (79 yachts). Many are Tortola-based boats that move south for the season or run one-way charters.
For routes and a sample week, read St. Vincent and the Grenadines routes and the Grenadines itinerary.
How do you choose a Grenadines charter company?
Choose where to start
Bareboat fleets start at Blue Lagoon on St. Vincent or in Grenada, at Port Louis Marina or Prickly Bay. Decide which end of the chain you most want to see, then pick the base.
Consider a one-way charter
One-way trips are normal here. Many crewed yachts that work the Grenadines are based in Tortola or St. Lucia and run one-way or seasonal trips south.
Plan for two countries
St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada are separate countries. St. Vincent and the Grenadines asks yachts to clear in at a designated port of entry when they arrive and to clear out at an official port before they leave. Clifton Harbour on Union Island is a port of entry for St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Budget for park fees
The Tobago Cays Marine Park charges an entrance fee per person and a daily fee to moor or anchor. Park regulations and fees Tobago Cays guide
Ask where a crewed yacht is based
One crewed-only operator on this page, TradeWinds, boards on St. Vincent. 44 crewed yachts name the Grenadines, and many are based in Tortola or St. Lucia. In all, 186 are available to cruise the wider Windward Islands. Ask us where yours starts and where it can end.
Read what the weekly rate covers
39 of the 44 yachts are priced all-inclusive, covering food, drinks and fuel. Crew gratuity is extra.
Check the company on its own site
It should name the Grenadines, St. Vincent or Grenada as a base or a destination, as every company on this page did on October 7, 2026.
Fleet figures: Vital Charters' crewed-yacht database, as of October 6, 2026
Book direct or through a broker?
For a bareboat, booking direct with the base is simple, and a broker helps when you want St. Vincent and Grenada fleets compared. For a crewed yacht, each yacht has one weekly rate, set by its manager, and the broker's commission comes out of it, so no route to the same yacht is cheaper than another.
What changes is the choice. Just one crewed-only operator on this page boards in St. Vincent or Grenada, so a broker's reach matters more than usual: it can search the yachts of all 16 managing companies for your dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many yacht charter companies serve the Grenadines?
This page lists 32 companies that sell Grenadines yacht charters, each confirmed on its own website on October 7, 2026: 5 bareboat bases in St. Vincent and Grenada, 2 crewed operators, 14 brokers (Vital Charters among them), 7 booking platforms and 4 day-trip and ferry operators. Five official bodies and trade associations are listed separately.
Is it cheaper to book a Grenadines yacht charter direct?
For a crewed yacht, no. Direct or through a broker, the guest is quoted the yacht's own weekly rate, and the yacht pays the broker afterwards. Do you pay the yacht charter company directly or through the broker?
What does a crewed yacht charter in the Grenadines cost per week?
For the 44 crewed yachts that name the Grenadines, St. Vincent or Grenada, the median all-inclusive week is $29,000, with a typical range of $20,875 to $36,250 across 39 yachts. Five yachts are priced plus expenses, which is too few for a median. Figures are from Vital Charters' crewed-yacht database as of October 6, 2026, and do not include crew gratuity.
Where do Grenadines yacht charters start?
Bareboat charters start at Blue Lagoon on St. Vincent (Barefoot Yacht Charters and Horizon Yacht Charters) or in Grenada (The Moorings and Sunsail at Port Louis Marina, LTD Sailing at Prickly Bay). Crewed yachts are often based in Tortola or St. Lucia, so ask us where a given yacht starts. TradeWinds boards at Blue Lagoon Marina on St. Vincent, and Catlante Catamarans departs from Le Marin, Martinique.
Can you charter one way through the Grenadines?
Yes. One-way trips are normal here: many crewed yachts that work the Grenadines are based in Tortola or St. Lucia and run one-way or seasonal trips south.
Do you clear customs between islands in the Grenadines?
Only when you cross between St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada, which are separate countries. St. Vincent and the Grenadines asks yachts to clear in at a designated port of entry when they arrive and to clear out at an official port before they leave. Union Island's Clifton Harbour is one of its ports of entry. A charter that starts in St. Lucia or Martinique crosses a further border.
Is there a crewed charter company based in the Grenadines?
Yes. One crewed-only operator on this page, TradeWinds, boards its all-inclusive crewed weeks at Blue Lagoon Marina on St. Vincent. Three bareboat bases also offer crewed or captain-and-chef charters: Barefoot Yacht Charters, Horizon Yacht Charters and The Moorings. Catlante Catamarans runs crewed Grenadines cruises from Martinique, and other crewed weeks are booked through brokers.
Are there park fees in the Tobago Cays?
Yes. The Tobago Cays Marine Park charges yachts an entrance fee for each person aboard and a fee for every 24 hours on a mooring or at anchor, under a fee schedule dated January 1, 2023.
How we built this list
- Company check
- Each company's own website was opened on October 7, 2026. To be listed, the site had to load and name the Grenadines, St. Vincent or Grenada as a base or a destination. Base, charter types and fleet details are printed as that site shows them; a fleet size appears only where the company's own site shows one. The Best for column is our own summary.
- Other sources
- The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tourism Authority for ports of entry and clearance, and the Tobago Cays Marine Park fee schedule of January 2023.
- Fleet and price data
- Source: Vital Charters' live crewed-yacht database, pulled October 6, 2026. Active yachts only.
- A yacht counts when it lists the cruising area for a season ending after October 6, 2026. This page counts only yachts that name the islands themselves: the Grenadines, St. Vincent or Grenada.
- Each yacht is counted once, at its lowest weekly base rate for that area, in US dollars. "Typical range" is the middle half of yachts (25th to 75th percentile).
- All-inclusive rates cover food, drinks and fuel. Plus-expenses rates add an advance provisioning allowance (APA) for those on top. Neither includes crew gratuity.
- Not listed
- Left out, with the reason: Dream Yacht Charter (its Caribbean page names no Grenada or St. Vincent base), Sail Grenadines (site closed), TMM Yacht Charters (BVI only), four operators with no working website of their own (Captain Yannis, Bluescape Adventures, GAVA Peter and VMG Yacht Charters), two whose web addresses now point elsewhere (Admiralty Transport and Anchorage Yacht Club), and the Marine and Yachting Association of Grenada (its site shows nothing newer than 2018).
- Updates
- This page is re-checked every quarter. Each company link is opened again and the fleet and price figures are pulled again. The dates on this page change only when that check has run.
- Corrections
