We have chartered in the Grenadines six times and are returning for the seventh this January doing a one-way from St. Vincent to Grenada. To this point, the furthest north we have been is Wallilabou. Boat boys were a bit agrgessive but no problem. No issues at all in Kearton's, Young Island, or Blue Lagoon.

From Bequia down to PSV on these trips we have not had any issues and are not anticipating any based on past experience. We have also been respectful, freely passed out Hairoun's and a few EC's on the way for assistance. We exersize reasonable, but not undue caution in locking the boat and dinghy. I am sure there are periodic episodes everywhere in the Caribbean, but in our experience these are the exception and certainly not the rule.
