In the Chain of the Lesser Antilles, there are still a few lost islands where very few people set foot. Accessible only by sea, often only by catamaran or by local fishing boat, These remote islands are generally little used due to weather constraints or the draft imposed by the approach and anchorage..

This is particularly the case for some islands in the Grenadines archipelago.. Already very quiet due to the limited air connection and the small size of the infrastructure, some lost corners take the allure of unexplored paradises when you disembark there for the first time during a catamaran cruise.

Savan Island

This very small group of islets located in the northern part of the Grenadines is only occupied by a small abandoned fisherman's hut.. Suffice to say that there is no one. It is strongly recommended to reserve anchorage for catamarans with shallow draft and for particularly calm weather periods.. Indeed, given the poor shelter provided by the islets, the anchorage quickly becomes rough when the wind picks up, see dangerous.
For rental catamarans, the presence of an experienced skipper is required. Access to the anchorage, quite simple in calm weather, can become very tricky if the weather deteriorates and a hasty departure becomes essential.

World End Reef

The reef at the end of the world lives up to its name. Surrounded by a coral reef at the water’s edge, you are like in the middle of the ocean. Here again, This detour of choice on your catamaran cruise in the Grenadines should not be taken lightly. Very passable in light south-east winds, the anchorage quickly becomes untenable if the wind strengthens in the North-East.

This time, the place (in any case inside the lagoon) is to be reserved exclusively for catamarans with shallow draft (less than one meter) and to experienced skippers.

Saline Island

Saline Island is located in the southern part of the Grenadines, that which administratively depends on Granada. This part of the Grenadines, significantly less visited than the northern part, has only one really used anchorage at Tyrell Bay.

Saline Island, further south, offers shelter for both monohulls and catamarans, whatever the weather. Your skipper will, however, have to be careful of the rapid rise of the seabed when you approach the middle of the bay.. The place is sumptuous and often deserted
