Petit Martinique - General Info

HURRICANE BERYL:  The island nations of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada were the worst affected by Hurricane Beryl at the start of July 2024. The Grenadines, Carriacou, Petit Martinique and Union Island were particularly hard hit.  While the islands are recovering and all major marine services are back up and running (apart from on Union Island), cruisers should be aware that the islands are still in recovery mode and some services may still be limited or not available.

Where is Petit Martinique?

Petit Martinique is the most north-eastern island of Grenada and one of the original Caribbean Spice Islands.

Lying less than half a mile south of Petit St Vincent (PSV), Petite Martinique (PM) is a mirror image of its smaller neighbour but a completely different visitor-experience. Whereas PSV is out of bounds for visiting yachts as it is an all-inclusive luxury resort, PM is not at all touristy with a friendly and welcoming local population who survive on boat building and fishing.

Cruiser Highlights for Petit Martinique:

There are several shops ashore and one restaurant.

Note: Petit St. Vincent is owned by an all-inclusive resort, and while yachts can anchor there, the resort make a charge of US$100 per person for landing (and using the bar/restaurant).

Position:
