From Martinique in the north to Grenada in the south, Windward Islands are scattered like pearls along the Caribbean Sea. Surrounded by a plethora of reefs and cays, Windward Islands are the larger islands of the Lesser Antilles. Entrenched with lush rainforest, sugar-white sandy beaches and crystalline waters, this stretch of idyllic islands is home to some of the most breathtaking destinations in the Caribbean.

Windward Islands are mostly volcanic, with rugged mountain scenery and astounding panoramic views. Each island is rare and beautiful in its own right. On a luxury superyacht charter of the Caribbean, guests are certain to find an island that suit them.

A myriad of beautiful rivers and streams help to keep the soil rich and fertile, with this stunning archipelago providing the perfect conditions for a flourishing agricultural industry, which is the industrial backbone for this charming cluster of islands.

The vibrant islets of the Windward Islands consist of Martinique, Saint Lucia, Barbados, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago. Martinique is an excellent island location for sun-worshippers, food lovers and nature enthusiasts, while Saint Lucia offers more opportunities for adrenaline-fuelled fun, with hiking trails, magnificent rainforests and iconic landscape vistas such as the Pitons. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines boast mountain peaks and black sandy beaches - home to abundant coral reefs and a popular choice for scuba divers of all levels. Grenada is the southernmost Windward Island and is brimming with the scents of cinnamon and nutmeg, which led to its nickname as the “Spice Island”.

Although Windward Islands are not as developed as the Leeward Islands, yacht charterers are lured here every year for the stunning coastlines and stretches of sandy beaches. With excellent scuba diving opportunities, rainforest hiking and volcanic hills waiting to be explored, there is never a dull moment when chartering a luxury superyacht around the Caribbean’s picture-perfect Windward Islands.

The charter season for the Windward Islands is much the same as the Leeward Islands, running from November to July. These islands offer a stunning and varied tropical refuge and are the Caribbean's best-kept yacht charter secret.
