Carriacou by Catamaran: A Week Where Wind, Water, and Small-Island Life Set the Pace

The first light in Carriacou slips over the horizon like someone drawing a curtain on a neighboring world. On deck, the catamaran rocks with the slow exhale of the sea; even before coffee there is a salt taste and the audible busy-ness of birds. Hillsborough—Carriacou’s low-slung village clustered around a working harbor—still sleeps, but the shoreline is already lined with fishing boats, their hulls bright as painted teeth. This is the rhythm you tune into on a seven-day skippered catamaran charter through the Grenada Grenadines: days measured by wind shifts, reef-locked anchorages and the light moving across limestone cays.
