just done the following:

Tobago
Cays (three uninhabited islands), Palm Island, Petit St. Vincent,
Carriacou, Sandy Island (uninhabited, great snorkeling) Grenada.

however tobago cays had a fair few boats around it (and its rainy
season)

stayed on carriacou for 2 weeks, this place is stuck in a time warp
(ideal if you like that)
there is Anse La Roch beach on Carriacou also (not many people go
there)

Charter from the Moorings in St. Lucia. Sail the windwards one way
from St. Lucia to Grenada. St. Lucia to Bequia, Canouan, Mayreau,
Tobago Cays (three uninhabited islands), Palm Island, Petit St.
Vincent, Carriacou, Sandy Island (uninhabited, great snorkeling)
Grenada. Exactly what you are looking for, we have done it several
times, and looking forward to leaving Florida fall of 2004 to head
south.

I'm planning a sailing charter in the Caribbean around Christmas -
7-10 days with captain for two couples.

I've never been to the Caribbean and am looking for advice on which
island group would best fit our interests:

snorkeling and diving,
lack of crowds,
unihabited or islands still in their natural state,
close distance between islands.

We're not interested in nightlife or cities.

I'd love to hear any advice, ranging from where to go, favorite
charter companies, etc.

Thanks.


Maybe you booked already your sailing trip to the Grenadines, if not
you could visit http://www.islandtimeholidays.com, they offer a great
variety of beautiful yachts and give great tips.Frits

Nick,
Check out Barefoot Yacht Charters in St. Vincent
http://www.barefootyachts.com. They are a small but very well run outfit
with a good selection of boats and extremely knowledgeble and friendly
staff. My wife and I bareboated a Beneteau O40 from them a few years ago -
ten days were about right to do St. Vincent to Union Island and return,
including Mustique, Mayreau, Tobago Keys and Bequia, plus some sightseeing
on St. Vincent. For a less-than-two weeks itinerary you'll save a bunch of
time and rough inter-island passage-making if you start from St. Vincent
rather than St. Lucia.

We've previously chartered from several other companies -- no outright
disasters -- but Barefoot was tops in quality of boats, maintenance,
locally relevant advice and personal service. I have no connection with the
company - just a very satisfied customer. Contact me off list if you need
more info.
