Petit St. Vincent, often called PSV, is a private island in the southern Grenadines. It suits an itinerary that gives this part of the island chain time of its own, with a planned shore visit rather than a rushed detour. The island’s resort and beach setting offer a change of pace from a full day aboard your yacht.
Overview
An Island Discovered on a Charter Voyage
PSV’s modern resort story has a direct connection to sailing. In the 1960s, charter sailors Haze Richardson and Doug Terman explored the Grenadines aboard the schooner JACINTA with a client interested in buying an island. The resort recounts how that voyage brought them to Petit St. Vincent.
The Resort’s Private-Island Character
The resort emphasizes privacy, with one- and two-bedroom cottages positioned along the beach and on higher ground. That atmosphere shapes the visit: arrange your time ashore around the island’s visitor policy rather than treating private resort areas as unrestricted public facilities.
Featured Yachts
Build a PSV stop into a southern Grenadines route with your captain. It is a different island from Young Island, which sits next to St. Vincent farther north. Your charter length and starting point determine whether one or both belong in the same vacation.
Yacht Arrivals and Shore Access
A yacht visit does not require a marina berth on the island. Your captain should select an appropriate anchoring position using current charts, local restrictions, and the forecast, then arrange the tender landing with the resort. The resort’s visitor information describes access for visiting yachtsmen; confirm current permissions, fees, and available facilities before arrival.
Hotels
Beachfront and Hillside Cottages
PSV’s one- and two-bedroom cottages offer a land-based extension to a southern Grenadines charter. Some occupy beachfront positions, while others are set on the hillside or bluff. Ask about current accommodation availability and transfer arrangements if you want to combine a yacht week with a resort stay.
See & Do
Leave time to enjoy the beach setting rather than filling the stop with several transfers. When available to visitors, a reserved meal or an agreed day-use arrangement can make the island a purposeful break in the sailing schedule. Resort activities and services should be confirmed for your dates.
Petit St. Vincent Beach
Choose swimming and snorkeling plans with your captain’s guidance. Conditions around an island can change with wind and swell, and a resort day-use booking does not guarantee that every stretch of shoreline or activity is accessible. Agree on the return-to-yacht time before going ashore.
Eat & Drink
Petit St. Vincent Restaurants
The Beach Restaurant
The Beach Restaurant and Bar is the resort’s casual beachfront dining option. For charter guests, the practical first step is a reservation enquiry that also confirms island access. Check current service with Petit St. Vincent’s dining team before setting the day’s route around a meal.
Main Pavilion Restaurant
The Main Pavilion Restaurant offers another dining setting within the resort. If you prefer an evening ashore, arrange the table, visitor permission, dress expectations, and tender return together. Availability and opening arrangements should be confirmed directly rather than assumed from an older itinerary.
