Often the first spot of our Kite Cruise is Frigate on Union Island. Frigate is offering perfect flat water conditions, lots of space to practice and steady Tradewinds. The ideal spot to get inot the rhythm of a Kite Cruise in the Grenadines.
This tiny, picture-perfect sandbar surrounded by turquoise water offers ideal conditions for kitesurfing. However, the shallow reefs in the lagoon can be tricky—so intermediate riders launch directly from the catamaran and ride in the open waters beyond the reef.

Salt Whistle Bay
One of the highlights for kitesurfers on Mayreau is Salt Whistle Bay, known for its picturesque setting and excellent kitesurfing conditions. The bay counts to the most stunning anchorages of the Caribbean and the spots on the windward side, with sideonshore winds and some nice kickers for jumps are an ideal playground.
The natural beauty of the island enhances the overall experience, making each session memorable.
Mayreau is the prototype of a laid-back Caribbean Paradise and home to a friendly and welcoming local community. Beyond kitesurfing, Mayreau offers a range of other activities such as snorkeling, diving, and exploring the island’s charming village and scenic trails.

The Grenadines have built their reputation on a rare combination of reliable wind, warm water, and an incredible diversity of spots packed into a relatively small area. It’s not just one good beach — it’s an entire island chain that works as a connected playground
From early winter through late spring, the Grenadines are dominated by steady easterly trade winds. These winds are driven by large-scale weather systems rather than local thermals, which makes them far more consistent than in many other destinations.
On most days, you can expect winds in the range of 15 to 25 knots, often stronger in the core months. What makes it especially enjoyable is not just the strength, but the quality of the wind. It tends to be clean, stable, and predictable, with relatively little gustiness compared to many coastal spots.
Because the wind direction is primarily side-onshore or side-shore across most locations, it creates a safe and comfortable environment for riding. Combined with air and water temperatures that rarely require anything more than a shorty or even just boardshorts, the overall setup is as user-friendly as it gets.
What truly sets the Grenadines apart is the geography. The islands are surrounded by coral reefs, shallow sandbanks, and protected lagoons, which shape the water conditions in very different ways depending on where you are.
You’ll find:
Flat water lagoons with butter-smooth surfaces, ideal for progression, freestyle, or simply relaxed cruising
Long downwinder routes between islands, where you can ride for miles with consistent wind at your back
Open water sections with small rolling chop, perfect for freeride sessions
Boat-supported offshore spots, where you launch from the yacht and ride in areas that are otherwise inaccessible
This constant variation is what keeps the experience fresh. You’re not repeating the same session — you’re discovering a new setup almost every day.
Places like the Tobago Cays have become almost legendary in the kiteboarding world. Imagine launching into a crystal-clear lagoon, surrounded by tiny uninhabited islands, with reefs creating perfectly protected water and endless space to ride.
Other spots offer wide sandy beaches with easy access, while some are so remote that the only way to ride them is by arriving on a boat. That sense of isolation — riding in places where there are no crowds, no buildings, and often no one else around — is a huge part of the appeal.
Our cruises to the Grenadines can start from three different islands: Martinique, St. Lucia, or St. Vincent. Each departure point has its own advantages depending on how much time you have available and how you prefer to travel. Below you can find a short overview to help you choose the option that suits you best.
Because Martinique is located further north, the journey to the Grenadines takes about 20 hours of sailing time before arriving in the Grenadines. It is a great otion if you love the idea of combining sailing and Kitesurf / Winging in one vacation.
Another advantage is that Martinique is very easy to reach, especially from Europe. There are regular direct flights from several major European cities, making travel logistics simple and reliable.
Advantages
Direct flights from Europe
More islands and sailing routes included
Considerations
Longer trip required (10 days recommended)
Longer sailing distance at the beginning and end
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
Life in the Grenadines moves to a different rhythm — one defined by the ocean, the wind, and the simple pleasure of being out here.
Days begin quietly, often with a swim in warm, crystal-clear water before breakfast is served on deck. There’s no rush, no fixed schedule — just the feeling of easing into the day surrounded by nothing but sea and sky.
As the wind fills in, the focus naturally shifts to the water. Sessions unfold right in front of the boat, with each spot offering a slightly different backdrop, a new perspective, a new experience.
Later, the yacht sets off again, gliding from one island to the next while you relax on board, enjoy a light snack, or simply take in the scenery passing by.
Evenings are just as effortless. As the light softens and the sun dips below the horizon, everyone comes together on deck — a drink in hand, the day slowly fading into night, followed by dinner under a sky full of stars.
It’s a way of traveling that feels less like a schedule and more like a flow — where each day naturally leads into the next.
The Grenadines are famous not because of a single standout feature, but because everything comes together in a way that’s hard to find elsewhere.
The wind is consistent without being extreme. The water is warm and inviting. The scenery is unreal. And most importantly, the variety of conditions allows riders to enjoy the sport in many different ways — from progression sessions in flat water to unforgettable downwinders between islands.
On top of that, the ability to move with a boat means you’re not limited to one location. You can always position yourself where the conditions are best on that particular day, which significantly increases your chances of scoring great sessions throughout the trip.
In the end, the Grenadines offer something that few places can match: a combination of reliability, diversity, and pure freedom on the water. That’s what has made them one of the most respected and sought-after kiteboarding destinations in the world.
Direct flights to Union Island are not available, so travelers usually connect via larger Caribbean airports like Barbados, Saint Vincent, or Grenada.
For added flexibility, we offer pick-up with our catamaran from these major islands. This way, your trip begins with open sails and island views right from the start.

Please check with us on the options.
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:
Typical Wind Conditions in the Grenadines:
During our traveltime bewteen 15-25 knots (Trade winds)
Mostly steady, side-onshore or offshore wind

Other Equipment Tips:
The local currency in the Grenadines is the East Caribbean Dollar (EC), with an approximate exchange rate of 1 EUR = 3 EC and 1 USD = 2.7 EC. That said, US dollars are widely accepted across the islands.
If you need cash for rentals, lessons, drinks, or souvenirs, we strongly recommend withdrawing money at the airport or your departure port. ATMs in the Grenadines are often unreliable or out of service.
