Port Elizabeth, Bequia

Port Elizabeth, Bequia stands apart from glossy mega-port stops by offering a true island heartbeat at every turn: a sheltered, intimate harbor in Admiralty Bay where every yacht, private or chartered, feels welcome and easy to maneuver, while the waterfront buzz of bars, restaurants, and shops invites you to linger. Here, signature experiences unfold within easy reach: stroll into the boatyards to witness traditional Bequia boatbuilding, cruise along emerald hills to secluded beaches with golden sands, and time a visit with the Easter Regatta when the island comes to life with racing sailboats, music, dancing, and a spirit of seafaring that’s woven into daily life. The destination is more than a shoreline—it’s a mosaic of villages, viewpoints, and beaches that you reach by short taxi rides from the jetty, from the sheltered coves around Admiralty Bay to the hillside lanes and friendly inns that overlook the turquoise Caribbean. The port’s fleet features—an anchorage prized by privately owned and chartered yachts, plus easy tender access for cruise calls—make Port Elizabeth ideal for a measured, craft-focused yacht experience alongside bigger ships. Onboard, cruise lines curate approachable shore services and guided excursions, giving guests seamless access to Bequia’s warm hospitality, local crafts (including Bequia’s famed detailed model sailboats), and the chance to savor island flavors at a waterfront lineup of eateries and shore-side attractions.
