DISCOVER THE BEST SAILING EXPERIENCE IN THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS

Barefoot Yacht Charters is the longest established charter company exclusively operating in the heart of the Caribbean in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Founded as a family run business in 1992 with the dream of becoming a recognized Caribbean brand and a leading charter company in this region. For more than seven generations, Barefoot has sailed the Grenadines, discovering the hidden gems, exchanging warm greetings with locals and revealing the magic that lies in every corner of this exotic region. After that, they expanded into sailing education, opening ASA certified sailing school, one of the few offshore certified institutions with professional and highly skilled instructors.

Over the years, Barefoot has expanded into a complete sailing lifestyle, offering a wide range of services from yacht ownership and sailing schools to performance boats for regattas, accommodations, and airport transfers. Every service is personalized to meet each client’s unique needs, inviting them to embrace the Barefoot lifestyle under the motto: “No shoes, no stress, just sea.”  Today, Barefoot stands as one of the Grenadine’s most trusted charter companies, renowned for a rich reputation for trust, authenticity, and excellence in Caribbean sailing. With them, every experience brings together the spirit of adventure, the warmth of community, and the opportunity for personal growth.

BE BAREFOOT. FEEL CARIBBEAN.

Barefoot Yacht Charters offers a wide range of Bareboat and fully Crewed Charters, designed to create unforgettable sailing experiences in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Their fleet includes a variety of 14 Yachts and 5 racing Boats, all based in the stunning Blue Lagoon. Whether their clients are an experienced sailor or stepping on deck for the first time, Barefoot’s local expertise and well-maintained fleet make every sailing vacation effortless and enjoyable. Clients can choose from a variety of onboard experiences, from romantic anniversaries and bucket-list adventures to private family charters, each customized to being seamless, personal, and truly unforgettable. To create complete sailing experience, they partners with local provision providers to ensure flexibility and a diverse selection of culinary options for their clients.

The Grenadines are a unique archipelago of 32 islands, many still untouched and waiting to be discovered. There, clients enjoy unmatched freedom on their charter, able to anchor wherever they choose without needing to reserve moorings. Sailing in the Grenadines is effortless, with calm waters, gentle trade winds, and a variety of experiences that make every charter unique. Moreover, clients can also experience sustainable sailing, combining their charter with green practices like charter on the wind, reducing plastic, choosing eco-friendly products, and supporting local restaurants. Looking ahead, their vision is to expand beyond the Grenadines, bringing their sailing experience to other premier destinations and giving clients the opportunity to explore new regions and enjoy unforgettable charter experiences every turn.
