The story

Rhythm and Sails in Mayreau/Grenadines

Rhythm and Sails is an all-inclusive destination music festival sailing through St Vincent and the Grenadines, including Mayreau, aboard crewed catamarans, pairing daily concerts on boats, beaches and local venues with snorkelling, diving and other adventure activities across its multi-day voyage each spring, now in its sixth annual edition.

Most music festivals ask their audience to travel to a fixed site and stay put; Rhythm and Sails does the opposite, moving musicians and fans together aboard a small fleet of crewed catamarans through the islands of St Vincent and the Grenadines, with stops including Mayreau, one of the smallest and least developed islands in the chain.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than fixing an audience in one location, Rhythm and Sails moves its entire festival, artists, crew and attendees, by boat through the Grenadines over roughly a week, so the show itself changes location daily between islands such as Mayreau, with private cabins aboard crewed yachts replacing festival campsites or hotel blocks

02

The mystery stays covered

Recognition from outlets like Outside Magazine and Conde Nast Traveler as a standout travel and adventure experience reflects this hybrid identity as much sailing expedition as music festival
