A WORD FROM THE MANAGER
To me there´s simply no better way to discover the stunning Kite,- and Wingfoil Spots of the Grenadines with Caribbean Kite Cruise. Setting sail on one of our spacious Catamarans means to really disconnect from the busy world on shore and find yourself in an absolute dream vacation deep in the heart of the Caribbean. During our cruise we drop anchor right on the best spots the Grenadines have to offer. No crowded beaches and no busy spots. Often the only other Kitesurfers and Wingfoilers you have to share the spot with, are the other guest and friends in your own group. The spots in the Grenadines are easy to access and ideal for all Riders who are able to go upwind. Most of our guest, have never been on a Sailing Catamaran before, so there is no prior experience needed. If you’re interested, the Crew will help you to participate in the sailing, show you how to steer the boat, set sail and to navigate. If not, you simply can lay on the trampoline and what the Caribbean Sea fly by underneath you while the Yacht is cruising to the next Spot.

THE BEST GRENADINES SPOTS
MAYREAU ISLAND
Mayreau, the smallest inhabited island in the Grenadines, is renowned for its beauty. Nestled in a picturesque view, it provides a perfect playground for watersports enthusiasts. The upwind lagoon offers ideal conditions for kitesurfing and wingfoiling. It’s also an excellent starting point for an unforgettable downwind to Union Island. Onshore, locals await, ready to serve refreshing drinks and delicious fresh lobster on the palm-fringed beach. A short hike up to the rustic village perched on the hill reveals breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding islands.
Just south of Mayreau lies Mayreau Garden, often our first stop on the journey. Here, the vast kitesurfing/wingfoiling area offers a safe and uncrowded space for riders to explore the wonders of the Grenadines. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced rider, Mayreau Garden fits to all levels, offering exciting sessions and adventures towards Union Island.
TOBAGO CAYS
The Tobago Cays Marine Park is a true gem of the Caribbean. These four small islands are teeaming with life, with lively birdlife and charming iguanas, while the lagoons are filled with sea turtles and rays. For riders, it’s a true paradise : turquoise waters and breathtaking landscapes. Ride over calm or choppy waters and catch a small left wave. Moreover, the Cays are an excellent starting point for a downwind to Mayreau, adding an extra dose of adrenaline to your adventure.
UNION ISLAND
Union Island is the vibrant heart of the Grenadines, bustling with local bars, restaurants, souvenir shops, and a old market. Kitesurfing and wingfoiling enthusiasts will love its shallow and flat lagoon, home to the charming Happy Island, an island with a bar and restaurant. Just a five-minute ride upwind from the lagoon is Palm Island, a haven for experienced riders seeking thrilling left waves kissed by side winds. Both Union and Palm Islands offer exhilarating experiences perfectly suited for adventure-seeking riders.
FREGATE ISLAND
Fregate stands out as the ultimate destination for kitesurfers and wingfoilers seeking perfect and secure conditions in the Grenadines. With crystal-clear waters and offshore winds supported by a safety boat, it promises a peaceful experience. Accessible via a beautiful 30-minute sail from the main spot in Union, experienced riders can enjoy an exciting downwind through a shallow turquoise lagoon. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced rider, Fregate offers an ideal playground to improve your skills and progress to the next level.
MOPION ISLAND
Mopion Island emerges as a little paradise: a tiny sandbank nestled in the heart of a flat turquoise lagoon and coral reefs. With only one parasol to offer shade, it embodies the quintessential image of an escape to a deserted island. Within the lagoon, kitesurfing is reserved for expert kiteboarders navigating in challenging conditions, while intermediate riders can depart from the catamaran and explore the waters beyond the coral reef. At the end of the day, drink a sunset cocktail on the neighboring island of Petit St Vincent, completing the idyllic island experience.

HOW TO GET TO GRENADINES ?
The Grenadines, known for their exclusivity, are accessible by boat or local flights from nearby islands. For those seeking to minimize lengthy boat rides and maximize time at the kitespots, we suggest starting your journey from Union Island. Alternatively, if you prefer to avoid flight connections, we also provide departures from Martinique, St Lucia, Grenada, and St Vincent. Depending on where you come from, you´ll find it easier to travel to either one of those destinations.
By plane: The four islands have international airports. You can take a direct flight from many international cities or connecting flights via major cities in the Caribbean or Europe like Paris, London, Madrid, Zurich, Lisboa or Amsterdam,…

what to see around
Exploring the Tobago Cays
The Tobago Cays are a Marine Nature Park, only accessible by boat. During each cruise we will spend a full day and night in the Cays. Not only for Kitesurfing and Foiling, but also to explore the stunning underwater world of this area. Snorkel with Turtles, Rays and watch the Iguanas on the beach.
Dive into the Caribbean Lifestyle
The Grenadines are a great place to discover some true and rather touristically unspoiled Caribbean lifestyle. Have a drink in a Rasta Bars made from Shells and Driftwood, explore the small quite villages on the islands, or loose yourself in a chat with some of the local fisherman.
Become part of the Crew
No matter if you have prior experience in Sailing or not, our Team invites you to become part of the Crew and get involved in sailing the Yacht. Throw off the Bowlines, hoist the sails, learn the basics of navigation and steer the Boat into the sunset.
