Also known as the Tahiti of the Caribbean, Union Island is a great yacht charter destination to include in your Grenadines yacht charter itinerary. It is the southernmost island of the Grenadines, lying 90 kilometers southwest of Barbados and is within view of the islands of Carriacou and the mainland of Grenada, which lie directly south.
Union Island is sometimes called the Tahiti of the West Indies due to its dramatic silhouette formed through volcanic activity. At 3 miles long and 1 mile wide its tallest point Mt. Parnassus reaches 999ft. The island has 3000 residents, and relies on tourism as its main livelihood. The main town of Clifton offers small boutique shops and quaint bars and restaurants, all painted in vibrant Caribbean colours. There are several local bars and restaurants overlooking the harbor including Lambi’s and the Anchorage Yacht Club. In May, the island celebrates the beginning of the planting season with the Maroon Festival. Easterval is held each year during the four days around Easter.
The island has an international airport which has domestic flights to Saint Vincent and some of the Grenadines and international flights to Barbados, Carriacou, Grenada and Martinique.
Union is a great island to enjoy while on your Caribbean sailing holiday, offering great hiking, beautiful deserted beaches and a bustling town, Clifton Harbour. All of the usual yacht charter rentals are available here including motor yachts, sailing yachts,(both monohull and catamaran) and superyachts.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Dear Crossed Sabre team, we were VERY happy with the entire experience and very appreciative of all that you, your crew and your chef did to accommodate our religious requirements and to provide our family with a beautiful experience. Captain Simon was the best we have had yet, and we liked our previous captain very much. We liked your calm demeanour, your humility and your genuine desire to make sure we had a great experience. We also appreciated how good you were with the children, including playing chess with them and just in general how you were very easy to speak with. All the crew were excellent and very service-oriented and super respectful. I was especially grateful for the sincere concern all the crew had to be sure our religious needs were fully met, and everyone went above and beyond in this regard, which was very much appreciated. The chef had a calm and easy demeanour and was easy to communicate with, and the meals were excellent. As for my father, it was fantastic that he was able to work out regularly with a crew member. We want to make sure you know how much we appreciated all that you and your team did for us; we were very happy with everything. We know that accommodating strict kosher requirements was not easy, but it was done very well.

Sally, hi, the trip was amazing; we loved LIR. The crew were fantastic, and the chef came up with some fabulous meals. The itinerary was great, and the weather was almost perfect. We loved it so much we would definitely consider a repeat trip, maybe around Sicily, in the future.
Sally, we were very happy with the charter and especially the service of the crew! It was a very good price-quality ratio.
