Few experiences in life rival the privilege of stepping aboard your own private catamaran in the Caribbean and disappearing into the Grenadines for a week of complete freedom, indulgence, and adventure.

This is luxury in its purest form.

Champagne on the bow as the sun falls behind Bequia. Long lunches prepared aboard while anchored in impossible shades of turquoise. Children asleep after a day of swimming with turtles in the Tobago Cays. A different island, beach club, cocktail bar, or deserted anchorage every day, all experienced from the privacy and comfort of your own yacht.

With Barefoot Yacht Charters, guests can choose from elegant sailing catamarans or luxurious power catamarans, available both bareboat or fully crewed with our exceptional captains and chefs.

A crewed charter transforms a vacation into something extraordinary. Your itinerary curated. Cocktails waiting at sunset. Local knowledge unlocking hidden beaches, restaurants, and anchorages most visitors never discover. Every detail handled quietly and professionally while you simply enjoy the experience.

And there is no better place to begin your trip than Saint Vincent, the natural gateway to the Grenadines with direct flights from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Flights arrive in the afternoon so guest can either enjoy a sunset sail down to Bequia or Young Island or choose to stay the night in a hotel and depart down the Grenadines the next morning.

The Grenadines have always attracted those who value experience over convention. People who understand that true luxury is space, privacy, freedom, beauty, and time with the people who matter most.

Some yachts are designed simply to accommodate people. Others are designed to bring people together.

Sweet 2 Bad, our Leopard 404 at Barefoot Yacht Charters, is firmly the latter.

Widely regarded as one of the most successful cruising catamarans ever built, the Leopard 404 is the perfect yacht for families, couples travelling together, or groups of friends looking to experience the Grenadines properly. She combines the sailing performance and seaworthiness serious sailors appreciate with the comfort, social spaces, and easy living that make a Caribbean charter unforgettable.

Her spacious cockpit and open saloon create the ideal setting for sunset dinners, slow mornings with coffee overlooking turquoise anchorages, and evenings spent laughing with friends beneath a sky full of stars. Under sail, she is fast, stable, responsive, and immensely enjoyable. She is exactly the kind of yacht that turns a holiday into an experience people talk about for years afterwards.

And then there is the Grenadines themselves.

Uncrowded, authentic, and astonishingly beautiful, these islands remain one of the Caribbean’s great sailing destinations. Empty beaches. Crystal-clear water. Sea turtles grazing in calm anchorages. Tiny beach bars reached only by dinghy. Trade wind sailing from one spectacular island to the next.

At Barefoot Yacht Charters, we believe the yacht is only part of the experience. Service matters equally.

You can bareboat Sweet 2 Bad and explore the Grenadines at your own pace, or allow one of our exceptional crews to take care of every detail, from hidden anchorages and the best beach bars to fresh local cuisine and seamless service throughout your charter. Their knowledge of the islands transforms a beautiful holiday into something deeply personal and unforgettable.

As one of the Caribbean’s leading boutique charter companies, Barefoot Yacht Charters is proud to offer a level of care, preparation, and hospitality that larger operations simply cannot replicate. The folded towel swans waiting on perfectly prepared beds are not just decoration. They reflect the pride our team takes in every charter and every guest experience.

This summer, step aboard Sweet 2 Bad and discover the Grenadines the way they were meant to be experienced.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the women who taught us courage before we ever knew adventure. The mothers who showed us how to care deeply, love fiercely, and keep moving forward even when the seas became rough.

Here in the Grenadines, surrounded by turquoise anchorages and sunsets that seem to pause time itself, we’re reminded that the greatest luxury in life is not simply where we go..... but who we share those moments with.

To all the mothers who inspire exploration, nurture dreams, and hold families together across oceans and generations, we THANK YOU.

May your day be filled with peace, laughter, warm breezes, and the people who matter most.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Barefoot Yacht Charters 🌺⛵

There are few gifts more valuable to children than time that feels endless. A shoreline with no crowds. Water so clear it barely seems real. A conversation between brothers that only they fully understand. The freedom to explore, imagine, laugh and simply be together.

This is the true gift of the Grenadines.

When you charter with Barefoot Yacht Charters, you are not simply booking a yacht. You are creating the space for moments that become part of your family’s story for decades to come. The kind remembered long after the boardrooms, schedules and deadlines have faded into the background.

The Grenadines remain one of the rare places in the world where life still moves to the rhythm of the sea. Calm anchorages. Deserted beaches. Gentle trade winds. Sea turtles grazing beneath your hull. Evenings under stars untouched by city lights.

Days measured not by urgency, but by discovery.

For families, couples and multigenerational travellers seeking something more meaningful than a conventional luxury vacation, sailing the Grenadines offers a rare combination of adventure, privacy, elegance and authenticity.

At Barefoot Yacht Charters, we believe the finest voyages are defined by connection to nature, to family and to the people we become when we finally slow down enough to appreciate both.

Choose a sailing catamaran or power catamaran, and go bareboat or take one of our exceptional crews to cater to your every need, Barefoot Yacht Charters has the option you are looking for.

This summer, trade crowded resorts for turquoise anchorages and give your children a childhood memory they will carry forever.

In the world of yacht ownership, there are destinations, and then there are ecosystems that elevate both the vessel and the experience it delivers.

The Grenadines belong firmly in the latter category.

For discerning owners of Lagoon Catamarans, there is a rare alignment here that is difficult to replicate anywhere else in the Caribbean: a sailing ground of extraordinary beauty and complexity, paired with a management partner that understands both the vessel and the environment it thrives in.

Barefoot Yacht Charters is proud to serve as a Lagoon Brand Ambassador, and that relationship is not ceremonial, it is operational, technical, and deeply embedded in daily practice. Lagoon catamarans are not simply accepted into the fleet; they are understood, supported, and optimised within it.

The Lagoon 38, featured in Lagoon Catamarans’ own showcase, is a particularly elegant example of this philosophy made tangible. It is not an oversized platform chasing luxury for its own sake. Instead, it is balanced, intelligent design: efficient under sail, remarkably comfortable at anchor, and ideally scaled for couples or small families who value experience over excess. In the Grenadines, where passages are short but conditions can shift quickly, that balance matters. It is a yacht that rewards good design and good stewardship in equal measure.

This is where Barefoot Yacht Charters becomes more than a management company.

Operating from the heart of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Barefoot’s strength is not just infrastructure, it is local seamanship at scale. With deep operational knowledge of the Tobago Cays, Bequia channels, and the trade wind corridors that define this region, the fleet is managed not as static assets, but as active participants in a living sailing environment. That distinction is critical. It directly influences charter reputation, vessel longevity, and ultimately, owner return.

For owners, yacht management here is not about absentee oversight. It is about precision orchestration: maintenance timed to real sailing conditions, charter profiles matched to vessel capability, and a base that understands what Lagoon Catamarans are designed to do, sail comfortably, safely, and beautifully in tropical trade wind waters.

There is also a commercial truth worth stating plainly.

Well-positioned Lagoon catamarans in the Grenadines are not only desirable, they are consistently in demand. The combination of global brand recognition, optimal cruising conditions, and Barefoot’s established charter reputation creates a rare convergence where utilisation rates and guest satisfaction reinforce each other.

For owners considering placement, or prospective Lagoon buyers evaluating where their yacht will be most intelligently deployed, this region offers something unusually complete: technical suitability, emotional appeal, and proven charter economics.

The invitation is simple.

If you are exploring yacht management for a Lagoon Catamaran, or considering acquisition with charter placement in mind, Barefoot Yacht Charters in the Grenadines offers not just a location but a fully integrated sailing system where your yacht is positioned to perform at its best, both in water and on paper.

And in an industry often defined by distance between owner and asset, that integration is where real value is created. Contact us at barefootyachts.com your home away from home in the magical Grenadines.

A particular kind of silence is found at anchor in the Grenadines.

The kind that exists on a deserted stretch of white sand where no footprints cross the beach but your own. Where the water shifts between impossible shades of turquoise and sapphire, and the only interruption to the stillness is the gentle movement of the tide against the shore.

No crowds. No schedules. No urgency.

Just the rare privilege of space, beauty, and time.

This is the essence of exploring the Grenadines by yacht.

To wake each morning with an entirely new horizon outside your cabin. To anchor beside tiny uninhabited islands inaccessible to almost everyone else. To swim in warm crystal-clear water before coffee. To spend afternoons discovering hidden coves, snorkeling vibrant reefs, or simply sitting quietly beneath the shade of the cockpit watching the light dance across the sea.

At Barefoot Yacht Charters, we create bareboat and fully crewed, sailing and power catamaran, experiences for travelers who value authenticity, refinement, and meaningful escape. Our fleet of premium yachts allows you to experience the Caribbean not as a tourist destination, but as a living, breathing world best discovered slowly and intimately by sea.

The Grenadines do not ask for your attention.
They reward those who leave enough space to truly notice them. Visit us at barefootyachts.com and book your perfect trip.

There is a distinct difference between owning a yacht and owning a yacht that genuinely belongs in the Grenadines.

The Excess 13 from Excess Catamarans is not simply another production catamaran. It was conceived for owners who still believe sailing should be engaging, responsive, and deeply connected to the sea. Sleek lines, twin aft helms, a lighter, more performance oriented platform, and an atmosphere that feels contemporary without sacrificing comfort, the Excess 13 appeals to those who value the experience of sailing as much as the destination itself.

And there may be no better place on earth for this yacht to realize its full potential than the Grenadines.

Steady trade winds. Short passages. Protected anchorages. Open water sailing between islands that still feel authentic, understated, and rare. The Grenadines reward owners who appreciate intelligent yacht design and purposeful adventure.

At Barefoot Yacht Charters, we believe the charter management experience should reflect the same philosophy.

Boutique rather than corporate. Personal rather than transactional.

We work closely with a select group of owners who want their yacht professionally maintained, carefully presented, and actively marketed to discerning sailors seeking a higher standard of charter experience. Our guests are not simply booking a vacation, they are seeking access to one of the world’s great sailing destinations aboard yachts that elevate the journey itself.

For owners considering charter management, the Excess 13 represents a particularly compelling proposition: a yacht with strong market differentiation in a sea of increasingly homogeneous catamarans. It attracts experienced sailors, design conscious travelers, and performance minded charter guests who are willing to pay for something more refined, more dynamic, and more memorable.

A yacht should never feel anonymous.

Neither should the company representing it.

There is a moment at sea, just before the sun disappears beneath the horizon, when the entire world seems to hold its breath.

The sky softens into gold, the water becomes liquid fire, and for a fleeting instant, all the noise of modern life falls away. No notifications. No deadlines. No endless urgency. Just the rhythm of the sea, the warmth of the trade winds, and the rare privilege of being completely present.

A sailing vacation through the Grenadines is not simply an escape. It is a return to stillness, to perspective, to the parts of ourselves that are too often buried beneath routine and responsibility.

Days unfold differently here. You wake to quiet anchorages and turquoise water so clear it barely seems real. You sail between a mix of volcanic and coral islands, swim in hidden bays, dine beneath the stars, and rediscover what it feels like to move through life without hurry.

There is something profoundly restorative about the ocean. The body relaxes. The mind clears. Conversations become deeper. Sleep comes easier. Time slows to the pace it was always meant to keep.

And then there are the sunsets.

The kind that make you stop speaking mid sentence. The kind that remind you how small we are, and how beautiful this world can be when we allow ourselves the time to truly see it. If you are lucky, you may even witness the elusive green flash, that final emerald spark as the sun slips beyond the horizon, a phenomenon sailors have chased for generations.

With Barefoot Yacht Charters, the Grenadines become more than a destination. They become a feeling you carry home with you long after the sails are lowered.

Standing atop Rock Fort on the southern coast of St. Vincent, the view stretches endlessly across waters painted in impossible shades of turquoise and sapphire. The old French fort, weathered by centuries of trade winds and salt air, remains quietly suspended above the sea, a reminder that these islands have long captivated those drawn to beauty, adventure, and the romance of the horizon.

For centuries, Rock Fort stood as a lookout over these waters, its old French stone walls guarding the approaches to St. Vincent and watching ships move through the Caribbean Sea below.

Today, that same view still stirs the imagination. As you leave the fort behind and descend toward the water, the sense of history gives way to something equally powerful, the pull of adventure. Beyond the turquoise coastline lies an entire chain of islands waiting to be explored, where each anchorage, passage, and horizon invites you deeper into the Grenadines.

At Barefoot Yacht Charters, we believe summer should feel transformative. Whether aboard a sailing catamaran or power catamaran, bareboat or fully crewed, your voyage through the Grenadines becomes something far more meaningful than a holiday, it becomes a return to simplicity, elegance, and genuine connection with the natural world.

This summer, trade crowded itineraries for open water, hurried schedules for trade winds, and ordinary vacations for experiences that remain with you long after you return home.

In the end, the places we reach, and the moments that hold us there are what stay with us.

A quiet run in the dinghy. The soft hum of the engine. A small boy, perched safely on his father’s lap, a kiss placed gently on his head, met with pure, unfiltered joy. It’s simple. It’s fleeting. And it’s everything.

This is the kind of memory the Grenadines create.

At Barefoot Yacht Charters, we supply opportunities for these moments to unfold. Whether you choose the independence of a bareboat charter or the ease and refinement of a fully crewed experience, both paths lead to the same place: uninterrupted time with the people who matter most.

Our sailing catamarans reward those who appreciate the quiet rhythm of wind and water, the art of passage, the satisfaction of trimming sails, the shared experience of navigating together. For families who want to be fully immersed, it’s a deeply rewarding way to travel.

Our power catamarans, by contrast, offer effortless exploration. More speed, more range in a day, and more time at anchor in those perfect, turquoise bays where children can swim freely and parents can truly unwind. It’s a seamless, comfortable way to experience the islands without compromise.

And whether you captain your own journey or place it in the hands of one of our exceptional crews, what remains constant is this: the opportunity to be present.

To slow down.

To connect.

To give your children something real to hold onto.

Because years from now, it won’t be the itinerary they remember.
It will be the feeling of sitting safely in your arms, the sound of your laughter, and the certainty that, in that moment, there was nowhere else in the world you needed to be.

Bring your family.
We’ll take care of the rest. Visit us at Barefootyachts.com

There are moments at sea that cannot be manufactured, scheduled, or replicated, only experienced.

A quiet bow. The gentle rise and fall of a catamaran under sail. A young mind, fully absorbed in the rhythm of the ocean, watching flying fish scatter like silver arrows, dolphins tracing the hull, seabirds suspended effortlessly on the trade winds. No screens, no noise, no urgency. Just space to think, to feel, to be.

This is the rare luxury the Grenadines offer.

At Barefoot Yacht Charters, we don’t simply provide yachts, we create the conditions for these moments to unfold. For families, it becomes something deeper than a holiday: a shared experience where time slows, perspectives shift, and even the youngest among us reconnect with something elemental.

Whether you choose the quiet mastery of a sailing catamaran or the effortless range of a power catamaran, we offer both bareboat and fully crewed charters, designed to match your level of experience and your vision for time well spent.

The bow becomes a front row seat to the natural world. The days stretch longer. Conversations become richer. And somewhere between islands, you’re reminded of what truly matters.

Sail with us in the Grenadines, and discover just how powerful simplicity can be. Visit us at barefootyachts.com
