Port Louis Marina welcomed
Viking Explorers Rally
Camper & Nicholsons Port Louis Marina was pleased to welcome the intrepid
transatlantic sailors of the Viking Explorers Rally, who left the Canary Islands on
January 9th bound for Grenada.
The Viking Explorers Rally is a fun, friendly, and family-orientated rally encouraging
a group of sailors to safely cross the Atlantic.
Carlota Texeira of Viking Explorers commented, “We are thrilled to have been able
to keep this event on the calendar in 2021 and for all participants to safely leave
the Canary Islands and arrive in Grenada. Many thanks to our sponsors, including
the Grenada Tourism Authority, Port Louis Marina, and Westerhall Estate Rum for their
help to make this rally happen!”
The Viking Explorers Rally 2021 received a warm welcome
at Grenada’s Port Louis Marina.
Charlotte Fairhead, Marina Manager at Port Louis Marina, said, “We are delighted
to welcome the Viking Explorers Rally to Port Louis Marina. Their fun and friendly
attitude and encouragement towards sailing around the Caribbean is very much in
tune with our own ethos at the marina. We worked hard in agreeing on arrival
protocols to ensure the safety of all participants, visitors, and our staff at Port Louis
Marina. Welcome, and enjoy your stay!”
