With over 15 years of experience, our crew ensures you ride safely and always at the best location, based on daily wind conditions. In addition, you’ll swim with turtles and explore different islands—making this a truly unique kite holiday.

Departing from St. Lucia is a great option if you prefer a shorter trip of about one week.
St. Lucia is closer to the Grenadines than Martinique, which means we can reach the main kite and wingfoil spots more quickly. Sailing time is about 12 hours. This allows us to maximize the time spent on the water during a 7-day trip.
St. Lucia is also relatively easy to reach internationally, with flights from Europe, the United States, and other Caribbean islands.
Advantages
Starting the trip from St. Vincent puts us right on the doorstep of the Grenadines. From here, the best kite and wingfoil spots are only a 6 hour sail away.
This option allows us to spend almost the entire trip inside the Grenadines, with very little transit sailing. It’s the fastest way to reach iconic locations such as Union Island, Mayreau, and the Tobago Cays.
However, St. Vincent is a bit more remote and flights can be less frequent, often requiring a connection through Barbados, St. Lucia, or another Caribbean hub.
Advantages
Fastest access to the Grenadines
Maximum time on the water
Ideal if you want to focus mainly on kiting or wingfoiling
Considerations
Flights to St. Vincent may require an additional connection
Slightly more complex travel logistics
The Grenadines are the ultimate destination for freeride kitesurfing. With consistent trade winds ranging between 15 and 20 knots, all spots on our kite cruise offer smooth and accessible conditions—ideal for laid-back sessions and long rides.
Most of the spots are easy to handle, making them perfect for confident riders. We recommend kite sizes around 12–14 m for heavier riders and men, and 10 12 m for lighter riders or women.
To fully enjoy the cruise, you should be at VDWS Level 5 or higher—that means confidently riding upwind in various conditions.
There’s no better way to start your kitesurf holiday than by setting sail aboard a yacht. Just minutes after leaving the harbor, a deep sense of calm sets in.
The day begins with a refreshing swim in 26-degree crystal-clear water at our anchorage, while the crew prepares breakfast.
Afterwards, we head into our first kitesurf session of the day.
Around midday, we set sail again. While you enjoy a snack on board, we cruise to the next island and anchorage.
As the sun sets, we all gather on deck for a sundowner drink, followed by a relaxed dinner under the stars.

Moreover, the yachts feature several lounge areas where you can unwind after your sessions. Power comes from solar panels, and we produce our own drinking water to stay plastic-free and eco-conscious.
Direct flights to Union Island are not available, so travelers usually connect via larger Caribbean airports like Barbados, Saint Vincent, or Grenada.

The Grenadines offer world-class kitesurfing, but most spots are offshore and require boat support. Because of that, riders should be confident in deep water and able to ride upwind independently.
To make the most of your experience, you should feel comfortable relaunching your kite and handling changing conditions on your own. If you’re not quite there yet, we recommend checking in advance about coaching or supervision options available on board.
The short answer: pack less than half of what you’d take on a typical beach holiday. For your kitesurf trip, bring good sunscreen, a hat, and a Lycra shirt to protect you from the sun.
A few boardshorts or bikinis, T-shirts, and flip-flops are all you need. In the evenings, a windbreaker or jumper is useful. If possible, pack biodegradable shampoo and soap, as everything goes directly into the ocean.
A refillable water bottle is a must. Please use soft, collapsible bags for easy storage on board and. Don’t forget your passport.
The ideal kite sizes to bring on a kite cruise in the Grenadines depend on your weight, riding style, and the typical wind conditions, but here’s a general guideline:
