GRENADA 🇬🇩
Grenada, known as the “Spice Isle” of the Caribbean, is a paradise for cruising sailors. Located at the southern end of the Windward Islands, it serves as a gateway to the Caribbean for yachts arriving from the Atlantic. With its stunning anchorages, vibrant marine culture, and excellent yachting facilities, Grenada is a prime destination for cruisers. This guide covers everything a yachtsman needs to know about navigating, anchoring, provisioning, and exploring this tropical gem.
Arrival and Entry Procedures
Grenada has multiple ports of entry for yachts, including St. George’s, Prickly Bay, Port Louis Marina, and Tyrell Bay in Carriacou. Upon arrival, yachts must clear customs and immigration. The process is straightforward but requires proper documentation, including boat registration, crew passports, and clearance from the previous port.
The country participates in the Eastern Caribbean Clearance System (SeaClear), allowing for online pre-clearance, which speeds up the process. Fees are moderate, and an entry cruising permit allows for movement among Grenada’s islands, including Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
Best Anchorages and Marinas
Grenada offers a variety of anchorages catering to different tastes, from bustling harbors to serene bays. Some of the best include:
- St. George’s Harbour: A well-protected anchorage offering easy access to Grenada’s capital. The Carenage, a historic waterfront, provides picturesque views and nearby amenities.
- Prickly Bay: A favorite among liveaboard cruisers, this bay offers good holding and is close to yacht services, restaurants, and provisioning options.
- True Blue Bay: Known for its resort and calm waters, ideal for a relaxing stay.
- Woburn Bay and Hog Island: A cruiser-friendly community with a laid-back atmosphere, popular for social gatherings.
- Clarke’s Court Bay: Home to Clarke’s Court Marina, one of the island’s best haul-out facilities.
- Carriacou’s Tyrell Bay: Offers a safe anchorage, a vibrant yacht community, and easy access to boatyards.
For those seeking marina services, Port Louis Marina in St. George’s provides world-class amenities, while Secret Harbour Marina in Mount Hartman Bay offers a quieter setting.
Weather and Sailing Conditions
Grenada enjoys a tropical climate with steady trade winds, making it an excellent year-round cruising destination. The prevailing winds blow from the northeast at 15-25 knots. The dry season (January to May) provides the best sailing conditions, while the wet season (June to December) coincides with hurricane season. Fortunately, Grenada lies south of the typical hurricane belt, making it a preferred hurricane-season refuge for yachts. However, sailors should still monitor weather systems and have contingency plans.
Provisioning and Supplies
Grenada is well-equipped for provisioning, with several supermarkets and local markets offering fresh produce, meats, and imported goods. Some key locations include:
- Real Value IGA Supermarket (Grand Anse): The best-stocked supermarket on the island.
- Foodland (St. George’s and Kirani James Boulevard): A convenient option for basic groceries.
- Market Square (St. George’s): A great place for fresh fruits, vegetables, and spices.
- Island Water World & Budget Marine: The go-to chandleries for marine supplies and equipment.
Cruising Community and Social Scene
Grenada has a vibrant yachting community with numerous social events, regattas, and gatherings. Popular cruiser hangouts include The Tiki Bar in Prickly Bay, Secret Harbour Marina, and Clarke’s Court Bay Marina.
Net services such as the Grenada Cruisers Net (VHF Channel 66 at 7:30 AM) provide updates on weather, local services, and community events, helping newcomers integrate quickly into the local scene.
Exploring Grenada Ashore
Beyond the anchorages, Grenada offers stunning landscapes, waterfalls, beaches, and cultural sites. Must-visit locations include:
- Grand Anse Beach: A world-famous white sand beach with crystal-clear waters.
- St. George’s: A historic town with colorful buildings, Fort George, and the lively spice market.
- Annandale Falls & Seven Sisters Waterfalls: Beautiful waterfalls set in lush rainforest.
- Belmont Estate: A working cocoa plantation offering tours and chocolate tasting.
- River Antoine Rum Distillery: The oldest rum distillery in the Caribbean, producing traditional strong rum.
- Underwater Sculpture Park: A unique snorkeling and diving attraction with submerged sculptures.
Safety and Security
Grenada is one of the safer Caribbean islands for cruisers, but general precautions should be observed. Dinghies should be locked at all times, and yachts should be secured with proper anchoring techniques and additional safety measures, particularly in isolated areas.
Sailing Beyond Grenada
For those looking to extend their journey, Grenada serves as a great launch point to the Grenadines, with must-visit destinations like:
- Union Island: A lively yachting hub with great kitesurfing.
- Tobago Cays: A stunning marine park with crystal-clear waters and abundant sea life.
- Bequia: A charming island with a rich boatbuilding history and friendly locals
