Cool people, fun 'alternative' to BVI
The people (Philip in particular) are awesome, this started with a great briefing. He knew where to park within the anchorages to avoid the current and stay protected from shifting winds. Boats are good.
As for the sailing... a bit different from the Caribbean - not nearly as wealthy, so we locked up the dinghy each night. Other than that, there were no worries. I heard it can be very breezy in Summer, recommend going in Winter for stable weather.
Terrific trip.

Best in Saint Vincent
Very good location, same as TMM and Sunsail (blue lagoon). Of the three, probably offers the best pricing and in my experience, the service was great - Seth is terrific.
Will charter with them again once my wife and I refill the kitty! Probably would not go wrong with the others, but why take the chance?

Very good
They are knowledgable of the sailing grounds - good charter briefing, a full 45 minutes. Very professional, keep the boats in good condition. No problems to report, if I go back to Grenadines will not hesitate to use them again.

Loved it
Really liked this trip, have nothing but great things to say about Barefoot.
Great service, as they met us at the plane and took us to the base, and also drove us on a couple of provisioning trips. Very friendly people, I could tell they really went out of their way to have us back.
The sailing was also great. Everywhere we went was line of site, though the charts were a bit off so we had to be careful not to cut it too close when passing by a couple of reefs. I was told that 100m differences from GPS coordinates are not uncommon. Beautiful sailing, beaches and great wind. What else could we ask for?

Beware Poorly Maintained Yachts
We just returned from chartering Kuatro,this Kronos 45.
St Vincent & the Grenadines is an absolutely stunning area to sail in. Worth going back?? Yes! With Barefoot? Never in a million years!
The following is a list of the problems that we found with this yacht.
None of the indicators for fuel or water work.
The head of the jib failed at the shackle.
The upper fridge section in the port hull is not connected and is just a “cool box” without any drainage where you could use ice.
The port engine drive system failed, either in the transmission or the gearing to the prop shaft.
The port engine refrigeration compressor failed.
The port swim ladder attachment fittings are worn loose to the point that we did not trust it to support a person and left it stowed.
The starboard side of the trampoline failed while we were preparing to anchor and we almost lost a crew member overboard.
As an observation, all of the hatches in the hulls are too small to use as a secondary means of egress.
This seems like a tired old boat in need of some TLC.
