With the feel of a private yacht and authentic sailing under canvas
What makes the voyage of the Chronos to the Caribbean special?

Highlights
- St Lucia: Anchoring within sight of the striking Pitons, the twin volcanic peaks on the south-west coast.
- Mustique: A tranquil anchorage in Britannia Bay off the private island.
- Grenadines: A chain of small islands with turquoise water, ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
- St Vincent: The green, mountainous main island with lush vegetation.
The finest way to sail: a new anchorage every day, plenty of time for watersports and going ashore, nights at anchor in a quiet bay and a morning swim before moving on.

Martinique
Typical route (may vary with wind and weather):
-
Martinique (Martinique) · Embarkation
Martinique, the "Flower Island" of the Antilles, is a French overseas department with Creole cuisine, rum distilleries and dramatic volcanic landscapes. Mont Pelée, the volcano that destroyed the old capital Saint-Pierre in 1902, defines the north; Caribbean-French art de vivre shapes the capital Fort-de-France.
-
St Lucia
St. Lucia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the striking Pitons - two pointed volcanic cones that rise directly out of the sea. Sulphur springs, rainforests with waterfalls and Caribbean-British culture make St. Lucia the most varied of the Windward Islands.
-
Mustique (Mustique)
Mustique is the most famous private island in the Grenadines. With only 17 villas (Mick Jagger, Bryan Adams and Tommy Hilfiger are among the owners) and an exclusive resort, Mustique is considered the most discreet address in the Caribbean.
-
The Grenadines
-
St Vincent
St. Vincent is the main island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The active La Soufrière volcano (1,234 m), the black sand beaches and Wallilabou Bay (filming location for "Pirates of the Caribbean") define the wilder Atlantic side.
