YOUR VOYAGE THROUGH PARADISE
Join us in the Caribbean,
with direct flights from
the UK.
We meet you at the
airport and bring you to
the yacht for a cooling
rum or fruit punch, as
you begin to kick back
and relax in the tropical
warmth.

Experience an invigorating sail to
the Blue Lagoon at St Vincent. Here
you can relax at the bar or hike St
Vincent’s trails and admire ancient
Arawak rock carvings.
You wake to the sound of the
conch shell calling tradition which
dates back centuries on the tiny,
charming island of Bequia and
enjoy an inspiring visit to the Old
Hegg Turtle Sanctuary to see the
endangered Hawksbill.

“Our group, which was made up of 2 families - 3 adults, 5
children spent 2 weeks sailing around the Caribbean with
Esacpe Yachting .
The food , service and on - going humour was THE best . .
Thank you Escape for creating memories that will last forever”
Alison

Just a short sail away is the exclusive island of Mustique, private retreat
to the rich and famous. Spend the afternoon on the beautiful beach and
enjoy a drink in Basil’s Bar as the sun comes down and you mingle with
the island’s residents and visitors at the lively ‘Jump Up’!

Sail into the amazing Tobago Cays. The
huge horseshoe reef that protects
these deserted islets, with their
dazzling, palm-studded shorelines,
provides some of the best snorkelling
and diving in the world. Relax for a
day and re-enact the Pirates of the
Caribbean, which was filmed here!
A short sail brings you to Union Island,
the yachting hub of the Grenadines,
home to the Anchorage Yacht Club
and numerous restaurants, boutiques,
galleries and more. At sunset relax
with a rum punch at the legendary
Happy Island!

Visit to the private Palm Island and Petit St Vincent before sailing into the waters
of Grenada, visiting Carriacou on your way to the Spice Isle, so called from the
nutmeg which fragrances the air and flavours the island’s original Planter’s Punch.
Here we can arrange a day tour for you to visit spice plantations, rum distilleries
and historic sights in the capital, St George’s, the Caribbean’s most beautiful city -
as well as exploring the tropical rain forest, swim in cool, fresh waterfalls and walk
around the volcanic crater lake of Grand Etang.

“They managed to strike the perfect balance
between relaxation, adventure, sailing and
exploration, all under the glorious Caribbean
sunshine.
We cannot recommend this trip highly enough to
anyone who wants to sail around the Caribbean
with such experienced crew and in such style.
Thank you very much Matthew and David - we
look forward to our next adventure with Escape.”
