We sailed north from Salt Whistle Bay on Mayreau to the beautiful exclusive island of Mustique where the rich and famous have their holiday homes.
In 1959 Colin Tennant, the owner the little unknown Mustique Island donated 10 acres of land to Princess Margaret for a wedding present, who built a holiday home on the land. The rich and famous and eclectic crowd quickly snapped up parcels of land and built their own dream holiday homes, creating the most unique exclusive private getaway for Royals and Stars.
Private yachts can visit for up to 3 nights. Mustique Moorings have balls for yachts up to 60 foot. Larger yachts, like us, have to anchor in designated spots where the Mooring Manager puts us. A mooring fee of EC$200 payable regardless of whether on a mooring ball or not.
Other visitors cannot fly in without a confirmed holiday home rental booking.
Super dinghy dock provided for visiting yachts
