which is really worth giving a go

If you’re a woman or a man

looking for sun, fun and tan

with these rhymes,

there’s nothing

like having good times!

I’m Chef David

and take care of the food

Motor Yacht JO in Bequia

Motor Yacht JO in Bequia

Bequia is the largest island in the Grenadines chain. It is part of the nation of St Vincent and the Grenadines and is approximately 6 miles from the nation’s capital, Kingston.

The main anchorage of Admiralty bay is a great hideaway from the Atlantic swell and offers 2 idyllic beaches the longer being Lower Bay and the smaller being Princess Margaret Bay. We are currently anchored off Lower Bay and as I look ashore it encompasses the Caribbean dream – turquoise waters, fine sand, local children playing cricket and football on the beach and the distant sound of a steel band. It’s a true paradise.
