Horizon Yacht Charters Grenada is organizing a flotilla to the St. Lucia Jazz Festival in May 2010. Charterers may book boats for seven days or for 14 days.

Aimed at music lovers and sailors of all levels, the Caribbean flotilla makes the round-trip from Grenada; the fleet includes a lead yacht and experienced Horizon crew. Overnight stops are planned along the course north through St. Vincent and the Grenadines, including at the Tobago Cays and the islands of Mustique and Bequia.
The fleet will stay several days in St. Lucia to take in performances all over the island before sailing downwind through the Grenadines and returning to the base.

Rates are dependent on the seven- or 14-day option and the size of the yacht. For non-sailors, skippers are available from just $150 per day. To find out more about the package, rates, and availability, visit the Horizon website (www.horizonyachtcharters.com) or contact the reservations team via e-mail (horizonjacqui@spiceisle.com).
