ST. VINCENT St Vincent is one of the least touristy islands in the Caribbean—an unpretentious and relatively quiet island where fishermen get up at the crack of dawn to drop their nets into the sea, working people conduct business in town, and farmers work their crops in the countryside. The beaches are either tiny crescents of black or brown sand on remote leeward bays or sweeping expanses of the same black sand pounded by Atlantic surf. Charter yacht travelers interested in active, eco-friendly vacations are discovering St. Vincent’s natural beauty, its sports opportunities on land and sea, and the richness of its history. You can walk or hike St. Vincent’s well-defined jungle trails, catching a glimpse of the rare St. Vincent parrot in the Vermont Valley, explore exotic flora in the Botanic Gardens, delve into history at Ft. Charlotte, and climb the active volcano La Soufrière. Underwater, the snorkeling and scuba landscapes are similarly intriguing. BEQUIA Bequia (pronounced beck-way) is a Carib word meaning “island of the cloud.” Hilly and green with several golden-sand beaches, Bequia is 9 miles (14½ km) south of St. Vincent’s southwestern shore; with a population of 5,000, it’s the largest of the Grenadines. Although boatbuilding, whaling, and fishing have been the predominant industries here for generations, sailing has now become almost synonymous with Bequia. Admiralty Bay is a favored anchorage for Caribbean charter yachts. Port Elizabeth is a tiny town with waterfront bars, restaurants, and shops where you can buy handmade souvenirs—including the exquisitely detailed model sailboats that are a famous Bequia export. The Easter Regatta is held during the four-day Easter weekend, when...
