We have sailed with Barefoot Yacht Charters for many years and our most recent trip did not disappoint. The Grenadine Islands can only be described as gems and sailing... read more with Barefoot is the best way to experience them. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable - the detailed chart briefing opens up so many opportunities for anchorages either in the “busy” harbors where quaint eateries and small island shops abound or in more secluded spots. As a bonus, we stayed in one of the rooms on property so no hassle getting on the boat the next day - it was right there! A vacation of a lifetime for those with adventurous spirits. Spare a few days for St Vincent hiking a must - a trip to the volcano and Vermont nature trail two of my favorites.

  I booked a trip through Barefoot in April of 2020 thinking covid would turn around by November of 2020. In late August 2020 I determined I would cancel because... read more of uncertainties with flights and quarantine requirements. The company refunded me above the required refund on the charter agreement. They understood and were empathetic of the situation, which can not be said about many other companies I have dealt with during these times. The honest business practices will certainly make me a customer once all of this blows over- they aren't here just to take your money.

Additionally the booking process itself was seamless. Debbie was able to answer my questions and make tweaks to my original request to work with my schedule. Overall very pleasant experience despite unfortunately having to cancel.

  Fantastic charter once again! We used Barefoot for the first time in ‘18 and chartered the Pelican Pete. We decided to try the Lady Di this time since we’d heard... read more she was a little faster. The Lady Di has definitely seen better days when she was younger, but she had everything we needed for our 8 day/7 night cruise through the grenadines. We used the galley for at least one meal a day and it was fine. I didn’t expect the comforts of my home kitchen, so I didn’t have huge expectations. However, the galley was important to me.

The staff at Barefoot are very professional and friendly. They were very helpful and gave fantastic suggestions with our itinerary.

To sum it up, we have made charter reservations for the Lady Di next year!

  My husband and I are first-time sailors, and we enrolled in the BOSS with Barefoot Charters. We were matched with an instructor and one other student, and spent 7 glorious... read more nights on a live aboard 38' Lagoon sailing the Grenadine Islands together. We spent the days making our way south to Bequia, Chatham Bay, Mopion, and the Tobago Cays. Nights we made anchor in safe harbours next to the lobster beach BBQs and shared sunsetters at the floating bars. How amazing was that!

We highly recommend the adventure, and are looking forward to our new retirement hobby. Thank you Brian and Jimmy, you are both patient and skilled, and shared your local knowledge so we could get the most out of our holiday! We will be back!

  Barefoot offers everything one would want from a bareboat or skippered yacht charter company - well-maintained boats, a thorough helpful boat and chart briefing, easy booking process, well-trained and helpful... read more customer service staff, additional extras such as available snorkeling gear, kayaks, custom provisioning, good restaurant at the charter base (thank you Rhonda!) ... the list goes on. We just finished a spectacular week sail on Viewfinder (amazing almost-new cruising boat although, like many catamarans, not the best upwind). Everyone please - visit St Vincent & the Grenadines as soon as you can. The anchorages are empty and the people need your business! Everyone we met all over the islands was friendly and welcoming but they really need tourism to start up again - hard times in the meantime.
