We are interested in a 7 day charter in SVG. Last time (2007) we used Catamaran Co out of Union Island, which is now non-existent, as is Moorings at Canouan. Some options include picking up in St. Lucia or Grenada, sailing to SVG, and leaving from there. I would be interested in any thoughts about travel, the passage, customs, cost, and general hassle vs. getting a boat in St. Vincent. Looking for a large catamaran, and options are limited there. Thanks!

Our boat is in St. Lucia and we took it from St. Lucia south to the Tobago Cays and back again. Going through customs was not a big deal at all.
The sail from St Lucia to St. Vincent was great too - saw some large pods of Dolphins and a group of whales as well.

I've done the string quite a bit ... I would suggest starting North and coasting South - St. Lucia to Grenada is just about perfect... The other way can be bumpy. Cocktails spilling - sea water on your shades kind of thing...

Does that change at all with the season? Is it bumpy-er going N at any particular time of year? Thx.

I highly recommend starting in St. Lucia and going to Grenada. Or even better starting in St. Vincent since you only have 7 days.. We chartered with Horizon which is based in Grenada and they delivered the boat to St. Vincent for us. There are a few charter companies that will do this for a fee.
