The hype
The crew makes the trip—guests rave about the captains and chefs who act as tour guides, cooks, and concierges.
Tradewinds Cruise Club-Grenadines
$3,500-5,000+ per week (inclusive of mandatory fees)/ gece
Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You want a floating all-inclusive resort that moves to a new paradise island every day, and you don't mind tight quarters.
İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- Waking up in the Tobago Cays with sea turtles right off the back deck
- Private chef preparing three meals a day in the open-air galley
- Zero decision fatigue—the captain handles the itinerary, you just swim and drink
Hızlı Özet: This isn't a hotel—it's a high-end catamaran timeshare that forces you to unplug, whether you like it or not.
@Alymus3 tarafından değerlendirildi: I spent a week sailing the Grenadines and it was pure magic. From the aerial views flying in to lounging on the catamaran nets, every moment felt like a dream. If you love the ocean, this is the ultimate way to see the Caribbean.

Reality check
The 'All-Inclusive' fee shocks many first-timers who thought they just paid for the room, and the cabins are much smaller than a hotel room.
- You want to see the Tobago Cays and Bequia without packing/unpacking
- You are social and enjoy dinner parties with new people every night
- You love water sports—kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling are right off your 'porch'
Temizlik & Bakım
9
- Housekeeping: Crew cleans common areas constantly. Cabins are tidied mid-week, but you keep your own space organized.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless upon arrival. Marine heads can smell if not used correctly (pump properly!).
- Maintenance: High standard. Boats are well-maintained, though salt air takes a toll on everything eventually.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, but can feel slightly damp due to high humidity. Beach towels provided.
- Odors & scents: Fresh sea air, occasionally diesel fumes if the wind shifts while motoring, or 'marine head' smell if a guest messes up the plumbing.

Rezervasyon yapmadan önce

- You will need cash (EC$ or USD) for the two dinners 'ashore' which are not covered by the all-inclusive plan.
- Pack soft-sided duffel bags only; hard suitcases are impossible to store in the tiny cabins.
Ne paketleyeceksiniz
- Reef-safe sunscreen (you will be in the water constantly)
- Earplugs (essential for generator noise and snoring neighbors)
- Motion sickness patches (Scopolamine) even if you think you have sea legs
Oda Cinisi
En iyi seçimler
- Aft Cabins: Usually more stable with less 'slapping' noise from waves, though closer to the generator.
- Master Suite (if available on your specific hull): Significantly larger floor plan, worth the upgrade.
Kaçınılması gereken odalar
- Forward Cabins (V-Berth): Often tighter and much noisier when the boat is underway or in choppy anchorages due to wave impact.

“Request an Aft Cabin for better stability and less wave noise, or confirm if the specific hull has a 'Master Suite' configuration available.”
SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is there WiFi on the boat?
Basically no. You might catch a weak signal from the islands, but treat this as a digital detox. Free WiFi is available at the Blue Lagoon base before you board.
What is the 'Wet Head' situation?
On older 'Cruising Class' boats, the shower sprays directly over the toilet. Newer 'Luxury Class' (TW59/60) boats have separate shower stalls.
Do I have to tip the crew?
Yes. It is customary to tip 15-18% of the All-Inclusive fee (not the room rate), which comes out to roughly $250-$300 per person.
Can I bring my kids?
On 'Shared' charters, guests must be 16+. Kids 6 months to 15 years are only allowed on 'Private' (whole boat) or specific 'Family' charters.
Is electricity available in the cabin?
Yes, most boats have 110V/220V outlets, but they may turn off when the generator is off (usually runs at night for AC).
Where does the boat go?
Typical itinerary: St. Vincent -> Bequia -> Mustique -> Tobago Cays -> Mayreau -> Union Island -> St. Vincent.
İçeri Sakıları
- ✨
Arrive a day early and stay at the Blue Lagoon Hotel to acclimate; if your flight is delayed on Saturday, the boat might leave without you.
- ✨
The 'Captain's Cocktail' is lethal—pace yourself on the rum punch the first night.
- ✨
Bring a small dry bag for your phone/wallet when taking the dinghy to shore.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡You can't flush toilet paper. It goes in a bin next to the toilet. Serious plumbing rule.
💡The 'All-Inclusive' doesn't cover two dinners ashore, so budget an extra $100-$150 per person for those nights.
💡Privacy is thin. You will hear your neighbors through the walls.
💡The AC usually only runs at night. During the day, you rely on trade winds and open hatches.
💡You might have to help with minor tasks like holding a line or tidying up your own cabin—it's a club, not a cruise ship.
