Hello Kathryn,
Google the search and you will find many results for boat charters. On this website there are none mentioned , as you have seen.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=boat+rental+grenadines&aq=f&oq=

On Carriacou the best choice is going to Tyrrell Bay and ask in the bars, like the Lambi Queen bar.
If there are boats available they will know about it.
Another good choice would be Barefoot charters.
They have been in the business for a long time.
They are located on St. Vincent.
Here is the website > http://www.barefootyachts.com/


I hope this will give you a good start in finding a boat charter.

Sailing Information about the yacht Bon Bini 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago  
I met Ellie on Carriacou, she has a good reputation as skipper on her own yacht.

Visit the Robinson Adventure website where you can find more details and many nice pictures.


Website > http://robinsonadventure.com


The hard chine steel ketch Bon Bini has sailed around the world with me, it is sturdy and strong.

She is not a luxury yacht but has a lot of personality and is very cozy.

She's 12 m long by 3.90 m wide. Enough place for 4 guest, 2 double cabins and a captains bunk. Further more a roomy bath with toilet, shower on deck.
12 foot semi-rigid inflatable with 15 HP (Yamaha horsepower)

The equipment includes, 3 spear guns, fishing tackle, towline and 4 complete scuba diving equipments.

I am a PADI/CMAS scuba instructor as well. You will have the opportunity to get yourself certified as an open water diver in the crystal clear warm waters of the Caribbean or just join me on a fun dive. Certification up to dive master is possible on the "Bon Bin"

The guests on Bon Bini are integrated in the daily routine of sailing, which means everybody helps a little bit such as: sailing, anchoring, cooking or just chilling.

The price is: € 100 per day/per person

Included in the price are: the boat, the captain, diesel, food, non alcoholic drinks and snorkel gear.

The scuba diving is an extra €30 per dive. So are the alcoholic drinks and the dinners ashore, checking in and out of the Island (estimated cost €15 per person)

The season goes from November through to July/August (weather permitting)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAILING ROUTE
One week charter (Example)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The route planning depends on weather, wind, swell and also the people that we have onboard. As we know the area fairly well and I am a very experienced skipper, I will decide the routing, but I am open for suggestions as long as weather permits.

DAY 1:
Arrival in Grenada -> Ferry to Carriacou (1½ hours) - Tyrrel Bay
Welcome drink aboard the Bon Bini, try the local rum punch and dinner will be had in the
pizzaria directly on the beach with a fine view of all the boats at anchor.

DAY 2:
Sandy Island - 1½ hours sailing
and rest of the day snorkeling, diving or just relaxing on the fantastic desserted beach.
Dinner onboard Bon Bini.

DAY 3:
Union Island
Clearing in clifton harbour 2/3 hours sailing. Nice island surrounded by reefs.
Shopping ashore. Dinner aboard Bon Bini and later a visit to the famous happy island bar (manmade)

DAY 4:
Tobago Cays
2 hours sailing - motorsailing. The highlight of the trip: small uninhabited islands with palmtrees, white beaches and fantastic snorkeling. A lobster dinner on the beach is possible for 20 US$ a person. Try the local way of eating lobster while sitting around the bonfire.

DAY 5:
Back to clifton habour to check out
Then on to Chatham Bay (uninhabited) at the back of Union for a relaxing swim and great beach combing and great fishing at night. +/- 3 hours sailing. Dinner aboard Bon Bini.

DAY 6:
Back to Tyrrel Bay, Carriacou or white island
for snorkeling, beach combing, spearfishing. At night farwell drinks at the famous "floating bar" and either pizzaria or an old rum shop for food.

DAY 7:
Back to St. Georges with the ferry at 06:00

This route is just an example, with 10 days or 14 days we would be able to add a few more islands or extend your days at some of the islands, - we are flexible.

HOPE TO HAVE YOU ABOARD SOON
