Grenada’s water is home to an abundance of game fish. The idea of a tournament held annually to bring anglers together in competition and camaraderie was pioneered by the founders Jim Needham, Louis Rostant and Martin Mathias in 1964. Built on a love of game fishing, the competition does have a key focus towards sustainability, with many of the fish caught, being released back into the sea with greater rewards given to anglers of this practice.

Four days of sailing and 6 nights of parties, the Island Water World Grenada Sailing Week is a must-do this season in the Caribbean! We invite you to ‘spice it up’ from the 26th January – 31^st January , for great sailing and a friendly atmosphere.

The Grenada Sailing Festival, showcases the Island’s great sailing traditions.
