Sailing To Carriacou

Sailing to Carriacou! Carriacou is a Carib word meaning, “island surrounded by reefs.’ Upon sailing to Carriacou, your eyes will smile when they see the tropical turquoise waters marking the shallows. The Winward Island of Carriacou is located below the St Vincent & Grenadines chain of islands and above the large island of Grenada. There are around 10,000 people that live on the island and many are of the friendliest people we’ve come across.

There’s a small-town charm to the island.

The people make a living from fishing, boat building, and farming. No large cruise ships or tourist boats descend upon the quiet island making it more authentic than most. The video below showcases our very first visit to Carriacou. Since the video, we’ve been back at least 10 more times.

We’ve taken a land trip checking out every corner of the island, tested out other anchorages, and discovered Grenada’s largest gem – Sandy Island. Sandy is a wildlife reserve so the fish are protected. The reef is AMAZING. It’s like swimming in an aquarium. I even had a Medical Emergency on a deserted island there! Enjoy sailing to Carriacou.
