Editorial Review :

Revised and updated for 2009-2010, this guide features detailed sketch charts based on the author's own surveys, and aerial photos of most anchorages. It also includes clear and concise navigational information. By far the most popular guide to the area, it covers the islands from Martinique to Grenada, with dazzling scenic photography, unsurpassed onshore information, sections on exploring, provisioning, water sports, services, restaurants and photography. Information is linked to the author's website where you can download town maps, GPS waypoints from the sketch charts, and obtain links to local weather, news and more.

The ONLY guides to get if you are cruising these islands by boat

Land lubbers from anywhere (St. Joseph, Mo., Peoria, Il., Berlin, Ger., Paris, Fr., etc. etc.) visit these islands for the "Disneyland Effect." -Hotels, restaurants, golly-gee sights, scenes of rustic primitivism. But, for someone visiting by boat, anything and everything of meaning and significance is on or near the water - best anchorages, best beaches, best fishing, scooba diving, best seafood restaurants, calmest anchorages. So forget all the "guides" that deal with the rustic primitivism and 5-star hotels (they're for the Disneyland crowd). Doyle's Yachtmans' Guides are far and away the better guides for landlubbers and yachtsmen.

Very Helpful

I recommend this book for anyone sailing in ST. Vincent \ grenadines area. I am getting ready for a bareboat charter and wanted to get some detailed info about the places I will be visiting. The book has local information and some history of the towns. Most importantly it gives great info on which bays have Moorings, info on anchoring, port services and beach front bars.

Perfect Cruise Book

The Windward Islands Sailors Guide by Chris Doyle is the one and only cruise guide you will need. Chris Doyle has written many books on different islands and when I sail the many islands, I always make a point to buy his books. This book will have updated detailed info you will need on your trip; customs, naviation, medical care, fishing, entertainment, special events,weather, garbage, radio communications, GPS waypoints,tides and currents . . . it is all there!

2009-2010 Sailors Guide to the Windward Islands

Great book if you plan on sailing these lower windward islands, This book is in FULL COLOR unlike the others. I bought his Leeward island book a few years ago and it too is a must have if you plan on harbor hopping down there.

The inside scoop

I thought this was a great introduction for my trip to Grenada. It had a lot of good advice and I found the information to be accurate (at least regards to Grenada -- I did not go to Carricou or Petite Martinique). This book helped to calm my anxiety for traveling to Grenada for the first time. It also gave me a good idea of what to expect with regards to the public transportation, the people, interesting things to do, food, etc.

Editorial Review :

With 80 sketch charts this is the most comprehensive guide covering The Windward Islands. The Windward Islands Guide contains GPS waypoints, approaches and routes, anchorages, dive sites, an extensive appendix, photos and a bibliography. As with all of Steve's guides it contains sections on history, marina services, and much more useful info.

Pretty Good

Lots of great info. Unfortunately in Black and White. Good complement to the "Sailors Guide to the Windward Islands".

Fantastic Guide-The Real Deal

Before purchasing this book, I did a bit of research on the different guides available. One had a lot of advertisements, but was popular. It was more like a Frommers travel book. This one was written by the guy who actually used equipment relied upon by chartmakers for local depth soundings. You could tell by his "local" hints that he really took the time and effort to give you the insider's view. From recomming "Mr.Fantastic" (a local boat vendor who sold us delicious lobster), to recommendations on local restaurants at each of our island stops along the way, this book was fantastic. The black and white pages made it all the more authentic as not being overly commercialized. In each port he gave highly reliable waypoints which I fed into my Garmin GPS, and everything worked like clockwork. His depth soundings in the anchorages were highly reliable as well. Our crew of 6 sailors, all passionate for adventure in the Windward Islands, raved about this book. Other books were aboard, but this one quickly became the one that we relied upon. It was concise and to the point, and we really enjoyed using it. Accolades to Mr. Pavlidis. This is a winner!!

A Cruising Guide To The Windward Islands

I bought this book along with the Chris Doyle book. unfortunately THIS book is NOT IN COLOR. :( but if you cant buy the Chris Doyle book this has many b/w images to give you advice on harbor hopping the windward islands. I always like as much info as i can bring when your in the middle of nowhere. ie. the islands.

I just got back from chartering in St.Vincent and found that both guides (this and Chris Doyle's) benefit when used together.

Editorial Review :

This thorough, handy, and affordable guide to the 75-mile-long chain of islands that stretches from St. Vincent to Grenada is geared toward the savvy and sophisticated traveler. Highlighted are what to see and discover at this remote end of the West Indies. Covered are the relatively undiscovered destination of St. Vincent; the majestic Grenada (the Spice Isle), and the Grenadine islands-Bequia, Mustique, Mayreau, Canouan, the Tobago Cays, Union, Palm, Petit St. Vincent, Petit Martinique, and Carriacou.

Great in the Grenadines!

Used this book for a recent great trip to St. Vincent and the Grenadines. While the book is a little less detailed than the bigger guide books as well as a little biased against the high end resort options, the frank opinions and reviews were right on the mark. Easier to carry around than the bigger guidebooks and information was very accurate. Inexpensive useful guide to this wonderful area of the Caribbean!

Our most-used guide book

We spent spent two months in Grenada, St Vincent, and the Grenadines on our sailboat in the winter of 2008. We had seven guide books for this area -- Rum & Reggae was our favorite. For exploring, hiking, snorkeling, eating: this book consitently recommended places and activities that were more interesting and less touristy. Sure, we used the others books too, but we used this one more.

Note that we were living on our sailboat and did not use their hotel recommendations.

We've since bought the Rum & Reggae books for the rest of the areas that we plan to explore next winter.
