Unique Itineraries & Tours

The Grenadine Islands are a beautiful cluster just south of St. Vincent and north of Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea. Noted for their white sands and clear waters, the Grenadines are some of the most remote and finest parts of the Caribbean. Thirty-two islands make up this beautiful cluster, with only nine inhabited. The tropical climate and moderate winds make it an ideal sailing destination for large parts of the year.

 

But, like almost any tropical climate, the Grenadines have their rainy season from June to November. It is often asked how much will it rain, or what is the likelihood of a hurricane. The short answer is, it’s hard to know. On average, every three days a tropical wave will form on the coast of Africa. These small fronts will often bring clouds and showers for a day or two. These have the potential to develop into tropical depressions, which will guarantee rain and clouds for a number of days.

 

October is the month with the highest levels of precipitation. After that, the rain becomes less frequent, offering a gradually more desirable climate each month. From November through June, you can expect temperatures of 85 degrees Fahrenheit on a daily basis and clear skies to soak up the rays on the white sandy beaches.
