‘The Caribbean as it once was’: exploring blissful Bequia by superyacht

But luckily guests won’t need or want to spend much time in their cabins. A host of watersport equipment is available, including water skis, stand-up paddle boards, snorkelling kit, kayaks, fishing gear and inflatable flotation devices.

The yacht is often used by guests for a flexible 10-day itinerary (but shorter trips tailormade to guests preferences can also be arranged) through St Vincent and the Grenadines, the highlights of which include visits to smaller lagoons and uninhabited islands such as the Tobago Cays, where visitors can spot wildlife including iguanas at its marine park or swim with turtles in what is claimed to be among the best waters for snorkelling, alongside the Great Barrier Reef.

Other picturesque stops include Salt Whistle Bay at Mayreau, the smallest island of the Grenadines, covering an area of only 1.5 square miles. The beautiful horseshoe shaped bay, sheltered by crystal-clear blue-green waters and giant palm trees, is also fascinating for its unique location where the Caribbean meets the Atlantic, allowing visitors to dip their feet in the Caribbean Sea on one side of the bay and in the Atlantic Ocean on the other side.
