Catamaran Charters in Grenadines
We recommend a catamaran charter in the Grenadines for guests seeking generous living space, comfortable sailing, and an effortless way to move between the islands. With wide decks, stable twin-hull designs, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, catamarans are exceptionally well suited to relaxed itineraries through Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, the Tobago Cays, and Union Island.
The Grenadines have a strong selection of both sailing and power catamarans, ranging from smaller crewed yachts for couples and families to large luxury models with flybridges, premium water toys, and multiple guest cabins. Current crewed options serving the Grenadines range from compact 40-foot cats to luxury yachts approaching 80 feet.
Choosing the right catamaran depends on your group size, preferred itinerary, budget, and cruising style. We help narrow the options based on cabin configuration, onboard amenities, crew, pricing structure, and whether the relaxed rhythm of a sailing catamaran or the additional speed of a power catamaran better suits your Grenadines charter.
Why Choose a Catamaran For Your Charter in Grenadines
- Perfect for island hopping: relatively short passages connect Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, the Tobago Cays, Union Island, and the southern Grenadines
- Exceptional living space: wide multihull layouts provide large salons, spacious aft decks, flybridges, trampolines, and generous outdoor dining areas
- Superior stability: twin hulls reduce rolling at anchor and provide a comfortable platform for families, children, and first-time charter guests
- Excellent access to anchorages: relatively shallow drafts allow catamarans to explore bays, beaches, and island anchorages throughout the Grenadines
- Ideal for water-focused charters: large swim platforms and easy water access make snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming a natural part of each day
- Sailing or power options: choose a sailing catamaran for the classic Grenadines experience or a power catamaran for faster cruising while retaining the space and stability of a multihull

How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Catamaran in Grenadines?
Crewed catamaran charters in the Grenadines can start from around $14,000 to $20,000 per week for smaller yachts, with many modern 45 to 60-foot crewed catamarans falling between approximately $20,000 and $40,000 per week. Current yachts serving the Windward Islands and Grenadines include options from around $13,950, $25,000, $29,500, and $30,000 per week.
Larger luxury catamarans generally range from around $40,000 to $70,000+ per week, while premium yachts around 75 to 80 feet can approach or exceed $90,000. Current examples include an 80-foot Sunreef based in Canouan from $94,000 per week and a 78.7-foot Fountaine Pajot serving the Grenadines from $96,000.
A major advantage of the Caribbean catamaran market is that many crewed yachts operate on an all-inclusive basis, although plus-expenses charters are also available. Current Grenadines-serving listings show both structures, so always compare exactly what is included rather than relying only on the advertised weekly rate.
In addition to the base charter fee, plan for the following where applicable:
- Local taxes, cruising licences and fees: charter yachts operating in St. Vincent and the Grenadines must hold the appropriate cruising licence, and additional marine park, customs, clearance, or itinerary-specific fees may apply.
- APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance): on plus-expenses catamarans, typically around 25 to 35% of the charter fee, covering food, beverages, fuel, marina fees, and other operating expenses.
- Crew gratuity: discretionary but customary in the Caribbean, generally around 15 to 20% of the base charter rate depending on the level of service received.
If your catamaran is advertised as all-inclusive, many provisioning and operating costs may already be incorporated into the weekly rate, although local taxes, cruising permits, premium beverages, and certain activities can still be additional.
Popular Questions About Catamaran Charters in Grenadines
These are the first questions our clients usually ask before they book a catamaran charter in Grenadines
Are catamarans good for yacht charters in the Grenadines?
Yes. Catamarans are one of the best yacht types for exploring the Grenadines because the destination combines manageable inter-island passages with sheltered anchorages, beaches, reefs, and a strong sailing culture.Their stability, outdoor space, and easy water access make them particularly well suited to itineraries centered around swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, beach stops, and relaxed days at anchor. St. Vincent and the Grenadines itself consists of 32 islands and cays, creating an exceptional environment for island hopping.
What is the best place for a catamaran charter in the Grenadines?
A classic route begins around St. Vincent or Bequia and cruises south through Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, the Tobago Cays, and Union Island.The Tobago Cays are one of the highlights of the entire region and are accessible only by water, making them especially rewarding as part of a private yacht itinerary.For a longer charter, you can continue south into Carriacou and Grenada or begin in Grenada and cruise north through the island chain.
Are Grenadines catamaran charters all-inclusive?
Many are. All-inclusive pricing is common among crewed catamarans serving the Grenadines, particularly smaller and mid-sized sailing cats. Current examples include yachts from approximately $13,950, $25,000, $29,500, and $30,000 per week advertised on all-inclusive terms.However, not every yacht follows this model. Some catamarans are quoted plus expenses and require an APA, so always review exactly what the weekly rate covers before comparing two yachts.
Sailing catamaran vs power catamaran in the Grenadines: Which is better?
Choose a sailing catamaran if you want to experience the Grenadines in the way the destination is naturally suited to be explored, using the Caribbean trade winds and enjoying the passages between islands as part of the vacation.Choose a power catamaran if you prioritize higher cruising speeds and want to cover more distance during a shorter itinerary while retaining the spacious layout and stability of a multihull.For a relaxed week through Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, and the Tobago Cays, a sailing catamaran is usually our first recommendation. For faster island hopping or a longer St. Vincent-to-Grenada route, a power catamaran can be an excellent alternative.
