We regularly cater for celebrities and other groups who demand privacy and the highest standards of discretion.
Pirates of Caribbean set in Walillabou Bay
Stop of at the Pirates of Caribbean set in Walillabou Bay to make lunch orders, including fresh local fish and all the trimmings. Then it’s off up the coast to see the latest lava flows and search for volcanic diamonds.
On the way back to Walillabou Bay, keep an eye out for dolphins. After lunch, you can visit the film set, and maybe even pose for a photograph with a pirate.
Baleine Waterfall Charters
Cruise the scenic coast of St. Vincent to the magnificent Falls of Baleine, only one minute’s walk from the coastal landing. En route you can view the bat cave, the fishing villages and also La Soufriere (the volcano) while learning about the island’s history.
Swim at the refreshing waterfall, then stop for a Creole lunch and later enjoy swimming and snorkeling followed by whale and dolphin watching.
NB the Falls are closed due to rock slides.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
St. Vincent & the Grenadines is a politically independent island chain in the East Caribbean, lying between Saint Lucia and Grenada. The weather is tropical, with little seasonal temperature variation. The rainy season is from May to November; however the weather during this period is still hot and sunny but can be broken by heavy rain.
A former British and French colony, the native language is English although it is mixed with a form of creole. The population is just over 110,000 people.
The local currency is the East Caribbean dollar, which is tied to the US dollar at a rate of EC$2.50 to US$1.
