• Chris Doyle Publishing has announced a new Yachting and Watersports Guide to
Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique for 2022.
This project is unique in the company’s 40-year history: a stand-alone guide to
yachting and watersports in Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. The
advertiser-funded guide will be free to the public. It is designed to appeal to not
only yachtspeople and charter guests, but to traditional tourists and other visitors
as well.
Since the 20th edition of the Cruising Guide to the Windward Islands was published
in 2020, the world of travel has changed significantly. While the reefs, beaches and
anchorages of the Caribbean are still here, owing to the pandemic life ashore has
become more complicated, and travel between island nations more cumbersome.
Nevertheless, the yachting industry in many island nations continues to be an
important part of the economy, and Chris Doyle Publishing recognizes that many
sailors and charter guests will be opting to spend more time in the waters of
individual nations.
Working with the Marine and Yachting Association of Grenada, over the coming
months Chris Doyle Publishing will be producing an in-depth guide with all the useful
charts and information on navigation, marinas, and services Chris’s guide readers
are used to, plus expanded sections on snorkeling and diving, environmental
concerns, and giving back to the community.
The free Yachting and Watersports Guide to Grenada, Carriacou and Petite
Martinique will be available in November.

A free downloadable cruising guide to Coral Bay, St. John, USVI, is available online.
