Wingfoil Cruise in the Grenadines

There are no direct international flights to Union Island. Therefore, most guests fly into larger Caribbean hubs such as St. Vincent, Barbados, or Grenada, and then continue on a short domestic flight.

Alternatively, we can arrange a pick-up with our catamaran from one of the better-connected islands. This option transforms your arrival into the beginning of a true sailing adventure.

Here’s an overview of arrival options and approximate sailing times to the Grenadines:

– Martinique (FDF): via Paris 
– Saint Lucia (SLU/UVF)
– Saint Vincent (SVD) 
– Grenada (GND)
– Union Island (UNI) or Carriacou (CRU) direct access—your trip starts right after landing

Please get in touch with us to discuss your travel plans and any pick-up arrangements.

When your first wingfoil session happens depends on your starting point.

– Martinique: about 20 hours of sailing – you’ll be foiling two days after getting on board.
– Saint Lucia: 12 hours of sailing – your first session will likely be the next afternoon.
– Saint Vincent: 6 hours of sailing – you’ll hit the water the following morning.
– Grenada: same as above – about 6 hours of sailing and foiling the next morning.
– Union Island (Grenadines): step off the plane and you’re already there.

Contact us if you’d like help choosing the best starting point.

Wingfoiling in the Grenadines is truly exceptional, though many spots are offshore and accessible only by boat. Therefore, a certain level of confidence and independence is important.

You should be comfortable foiling in deep water, managing your equipment solo, and returning upwind if needed. If you’re still building those skills, let us know—coaching or support may be available during the trip.

The short answer: bring less than half of what you’d take on a regular beach holiday. Essentials include good sunscreen, a hat, and ideally a Lycra shirt for sun protection during the day.

You’ll only need a few items of clothing—some boardshorts or bikinis, T-shirts, and flip-flops. For the evenings, a light jumper or windbreaker is useful.

If possible, bring eco-friendly shampoo and soap, as everything ends up in the ocean. A refillable water bottle is highly recommended. And please pack using soft, collapsible bags for easy storage on board. Most importantly. Don’t forget your passport.

Wind Conditions:
During our travel period, you can expect steady trade winds around 15–25 knots, usually side-onshore or offshore – perfect for cruisy sessions and downwinders between the islands.

Recommended Wing Sizes by Body Weight:
– 50–65 kg (110–145 lbs): 3.5 m – 4.5 m
– 65–85 kg (145–185 lbs): 4.5 m – 5.5 m
– 85+ kg (185+ lbs): 5.5 m – 6.5 m

Boards & Foils:
– Board: Mid-volume (80–110 L) for stable starts and easy handling
– Foil: Mid-aspect, all-round foils around 1200–1600 cm² work great in light wind
– Optional: A smaller front wing or shorter mast if you want to mix it up

Other Essentials:
– Rash guard or shorty wetsuit: The water is warm, but the sun is strong
– wing leash: Must-haves for open water sessions
– Helmet & impact vest (optional): Great for chop or progression
– Softboard bag or daypack: For easier storage on the boat

In the Grenadines, the official currency is the East Caribbean Dollar (EC). As a guide: 1 EUR equals about 3 EC, and 1 USD about 2.7 EC. Still, USD is accepted in most places.

Should you need cash—for example, for local services, drinks, or small purchases—it’s best to use an ATM before arriving. ATMs in the Grenadines can be inconsistent and are not always working.
