The Tobago Cays: A Sailing Paradise in the Caribbean

The Tobago Cays are a true highlight for yacht charter clients in the Caribbean. This small archipelago in the heart of St. Vincent and the Grenadines impresses with crystal-clear water, protective reefs, and a fascinating underwater world. Here you feel like you’re in paradise – far away from everyday life and surrounded by pristine nature.

Getting to the Tobago Cays

The Tobago Cays are best reached by a chartered yacht. Common starting points for a sailing trip are the islands of Grenada or St. Vincent.

A popular route:

• Start in St. Vincent: From here, first sail to Bequia, the largest island of the Grenadines. Bequia offers charming anchorages, cozy restaurants, and a relaxed atmosphere.
• Continue to Mayreau: The small island of Mayreau lies at the entrance to the Tobago Cays and is ideal for a stopover. Salt Whistle Bay offers a sheltered anchorage and a picturesque beach.
• Tobago Cays: Just a short trip from Mayreau, the Tobago Cays await you. Here you can anchor right in front of Horseshoe Reef and dive into the adventure.

Highlights of the Tobago Cays

Horseshoe Reef

Horseshoe Reef protects the Tobago Cays from the open sea and offers excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. Here you can discover a vibrant underwater world with corals, tropical fish, and turtles.

Baradal Turtle Sanctuary

Visit Baradal Island, one of the five main islands of the Tobago Cays, and swim with sea turtles in their natural habitat. It’s an unforgettable experience to observe these majestic animals up close (look, don’t touch!) 

Beach picnic

A picnic on Petit Tabac, a remote island of the Cays, is a highlight. This island was used as a filming location for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and offers an idyllic setting for a relaxing day.

Sunsets

The sunsets in the Tobago Cays are magical. Enjoy the view from your yacht as the sun sinks into the sea, bathing the sky in warm shades of red.

Tips for your stay

• National park fee: Note that a fee is charged for anchoring in the Tobago Cays, as you are in a protected marine park here. 
  
  
• Stock up on provisions: The Cays themselves offer no supply options. Make sure you have enough food and water on board.
  
  
• Watch the weather: The best sailing conditions are between November and May, when the trade winds are consistent and the weather is stable.
