As the Spice Island of Grenada is one of the premier yachting centres in the region, sailing is an experience you definitely shouldn't miss out on. You can chose whether to go out on your own, with yachting crews and can even have lessons if you've never sailed before or fancy brushing up on your skills. If you prefer to sit back and leave the sailing to someone else, why not partake in one of the day or evening cruises available from various local tour companies. You can fall in love with the dolphins and whales or cruise up the Spice Island of Grenada's outer islands to Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
