Top 7 Reasons WHY Bequia Is the BEST Sailing Island! [S2E5]

Bequia is one of the most beloved sailing and cruising destinations in the Caribbean of ‪@SV_Monashee‬ our Leopard 40 catamaran—and during Christmas, it becomes something truly special. In this episode, we sail to Bequia, deal with shifting winds, and discover why cruisers return here year after year. From sandy anchoring and excellent snorkeling to incredible food, meaningful volunteer work, and one of the strongest cruiser communities anywhere, Bequia delivers in ways few islands can. Add Christmas lights, steel drums, floating bars, and genuine island hospitality—and you’ll understand why boats stay far longer than planned. If you’re cruising the Grenadines or dreaming about it, this episode shows you exactly what makes Bequia unforgettable.
