"Truly the Trip of a Lifetime – Thank You Thor, Monica & BlueLife!
This sailing trip with BlueLife Yacht Charters was pure magic from start to finish!
From the moment we landed in Bequia, Thor and Monica took such incredible care of us. They helped arrange everything — airport pickups, provisioning, boat orientation — so that by the time we stepped aboard, all we had to do was relax and enjoy. Their warmth and attention to detail made such a difference and immediately set the tone for the sailing holiday.
Our yacht, a beautiful Bali 4.4, was immaculate. It felt fresh, clean, and so thoughtfully maintained — like it had been prepared just for us. It was the perfect floating home: spacious, comfortable, and truly luxurious.
And the places we sailed to… it’s hard to even find the words. Swimming with sea turtles in the Tobago Cays, docking at the stunning Sandy Lane Marina, wandering the soft beaches of Canouan and exploring the charm of Mustique — every stop was a postcard come to life.
The colors of the water, the sunsets, the quiet anchorages under the stars - just the two of us, tucked away from the world, surrounded by the beauty of the Grenadines. It felt like a dream we never wanted to wake up from.
Thor and Monica helped make this possible, and we are so grateful. They made everything so smooth and effortless, so all we had to do was live in the moment and make memories - If you're thinking about a sailing trip in this part of the world — don’t even hesitate. BlueLife Yacht Charters is the way to do it. We can’t wait to come back."

"Three friends and I spent a week of fantastic sailing with a boat from BlueLife Yacht Charters. Our boat was a Dufour 450, Grand Large, which sailed very well in 15-20 knots of wind and swells from Bequia to Tobago Cay. It had four cabins with two heads, a large galley and a huge cockpit. It was perfectly equipped, even to have snorkeling gear and a transom that became a huge swim platform when at anchor.Thor, Monica and their staff ensured that every detail was looked after for us and had us on our way very quickly.I highly recommend to anyone to sail with BlueLife! I will certainly return there again"

"My husband and I just got back from an amazing trip to the Grenadine Islands. We chartered with Bluelife Yacht Charters and it was a great experience!
We have used other companies in the past, and Bluelife was our favorite so far. Thor and Monica are so attentive to details and accommodating. We sailed on Bluebird 45 Dufour Monohull and everything went perfectly. The boat was well cared for and a joy:)
I highly recommend using Bluelife Charters to anyone who is inquiring…"

"BlueLife Charters provided us with a great experience this past few weeks. Thor and Monica were gracious and helpful hosts. We started by staying at their base in Bequai. The room was basic but comfortable, clean and overlooking the bay with a small swimming beach, bar and restaurant at the doorstep. Our first week was focused on taking the ASA 101/103/104 training aboard their 45’ Dufour monohull. Our trainer Skipper Joel was patient, knowledgeable, clear, supportive and personable. We had a great time as well, it wasn’t all classroom and drills, we had time to snorkel, see some sites and have some great local beach barbecues! On our second week we chartered the same boat and took advantage of their Nautical Apprentice Program in case we had any questions or needed advice. It was very useful especially since this was our first solo charter. Monica also gathered our provisions for us so we could maximize our time sailing and enjoying our vacation. The islands of the Grenadines are beautiful and BlueLife is a great way to have a unique vacation and learn some new skills! Tight lines and favorable winds"

"We have just been on an incredible week long trip with Bluelife yacht charters. We sailed all though the grenadines from Bequia. Wow it was fantastic with a great captain & lady cook who both looked after our every needs immensely with great quality healthy food at breakfast, lunch & dinner. We had very good communication from Thor the owner & it truly was magical, thank you"

"I recently completed ASA 103 and 104 courses at a Bluelife sailing school, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Led by the incredibly knowledgeable instructor, Dwayne, the course not only focused on passing exams but also on nurturing genuine sailing skills.
Whether you're a novice or a seasoned sailor seeking to refine your skills, I wholeheartedly recommend this school. Thank you, Dwayne, for an unforgettable journey towards becoming a proficient sailor."

"We all had a great time exploring St. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES! The sail charter was a week long tour, and we saw so many different islands along the way. We brought snorkeling equipment and saw all kinds of sea creatures including sea turtles up close! I would Definitely return and charter with them. I Highly recommend this charter to anyone who would like to sail in the beautiful blue waters of the Caribbean, possibly learn a little about sailing and have a fantastic time onboard a beautiful private yacht."

"We had a wonderful bareboat experience with Thor and Monica. They went above and beyond. Our three couples who joined us on the week, on the Blue Ray, were SO GLAD they came and had an amazing time. The weather was perfect, and we couldn’t be more satisfied."

"We joined this beautiful sailboat in Bermuda for the crossing to Saint Martin. There was a short stay in Bermuda for weather, and we were off. The crossing was anything but boring, and we had a beautiful sunrise for our arrival in Saint Martin. What an amazing trip, no regrets. The owners made sure we were taken care of and were very professional in conducting the passage. Even though this was a lively passage safety was always paramount. Simone and I are sad to part ways but will always remember it with fond memories."

If you're considering a charter in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, stop looking — BlueLife Yacht Charters is as good as it gets. From the first email to the final farewell at the dock, Thor and Monica were simply outstanding. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and warm hospitality made this the smoothest and most enjoyable charter experience we've ever had.
We chartered a Bali 4.4 from them, and what a yacht — absolutely fantastic in every way! Spotlessly clean, perfectly maintained, and fully equipped for serious cruising. You could tell she was lovingly cared for, and she sailed beautifully — stable, responsive, and a joy under both sail and at anchor. Every detail, from the sparkling galley to the roomy cabins to the rock-solid systems, was dialed in and flawless.
Thor and Monica didn’t just hand us the keys and wish us luck — they went above and beyond. They arranged seamless airport transfers, helped us with provisioning (even tracking down hard-to-find items!), and made sure every aspect of our setup was perfect before casting off the lines. Their knowledge of the islands and tips for anchorages made all the difference.
And the destinations... absolutely bucket list.
Sailing through the Tobago Cays was nothing short of magical — crystal clear waters, sea turtles everywhere, and that indescribable feeling of dropping anchor in paradise. Mayreau's Salt Whistle Bay delivered classic Caribbean beauty and tranquility. We loved the upscale vibe and world-class facilities at Sandy Lane Yacht Club in Canouan, and Mustique — well, it’s Mustique! Pristine beaches, elegant island charm, and a touch of star power all wrapped into one stunning stop.
Every day felt like we were living in a dream: turquoise waters, steady trade winds, jaw-dropping sunsets, and the kind of natural beauty that every sailor lives for.
We had an absolute blast and cannot recommend BlueLife Yacht Charters — and Thor and Monica — highly enough. They delivered not just a yacht, but a perfect experience. We’ll be back — and next time for even longer!

My family and I chartered with BlueLife over the Easter holiday. From start to finish, an amazing experience. Thor and Monica were always available to answer all of my questions from booking to arrival. The Grenadines are breathtaking. The bluest blue ocean you will ever see. With skilled Captain Gareth at the helm, all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. From swimming with sea turtles or sipping a Sunset Very Strong Rum cocktail (be careful) with your toes in the sand, this was an experience which will be hard to beat. I was pleasantly surprised at how calm the sea was, always, beautiful sailing from island to island. I would highly recommend. If you're wondering what it is you're hearing in the background right now, it's the sea. And it's calling!
