It’s one of the most highly anticipated aquatic events in the region, and certainly here in Grenada. The annual Pure Grenada Sailing Week (GSW) is one of several marine activities that take place here on the Spice Isle. 

Usually, the Regatta begins at the Port Louis Marina in St. George and local and visiting skippers traverse Grenada’s scenic waterways. Seafarers jib and tack across the Caribbean Sea enjoying breathtaking vistas as they go. This year, the nautical pursuits will begin in Carriacou on Sunday, 29 January and end Friday, 3 February.   

As is the custom, local and visiting participants from around the globe will be treated to an exciting time sailing. Here’s a look at GSW 2023 activities:
