Private Sailing Tour to Fish Friday

Fish Friday

…visit the town that never sleeps.

Sail along the calm leeward shores of Grenada and visit Gouyave’s famous “Fish Friday”, a weekly festival that offers a wide range of fish vendors and entertainment. You may have noticed that by now you missed the sunset? No worries…a very special adventure awaits you as you sail back south in the moonlight and watch for shooting stars while sipping your favorite drink!

Our tour will take you to the northern town of the island, the fishing village, Gouyave, where on a friday night two streets are closed off and stalls open up selling fish and other seafood prepared in many different ways. Savor the fresh catch while enjoying the sounds of the local musicians or DJs!

Owing its name to the abundant number of Guava trees that grow here, Gouyave is the pride of Grenada as more fish is caught here than anywhere else on the island. On your Friday visit here you will have the chance to sample some of the mouthwatering treats prepared with the freshest of the fish caught for the day. Grilled, fried, steamed or cooked they all result in the most finger-licking good delights.

This place is absolutely delightful in every way, yes it is noisy, it’s action-packed, and it’s all fun and all dancing with some unique characters offering impromptu comedy to entertain everyone. This is a place where you can really unwind and have a good time as you mingle with the locals. This town with its 9000 inhabitants prides itself on being the “entertainment capital” of the sensual Spice Island and you’ll witness it through this in this folkloric Caribbean party.

The streets are closed off from traffic and lined with barbecue stalls and small kiosks selling tempting delights that are sure to get your taste buds screaming for more. With all the variety of dishes served here you’ll be more than spoiled with choice, you can try the ever-popular fish cakes, the succulent shrimp, the barbecued snapper, the jerked marlin or the fried jacks. You won’t be able to find such a wide collection of fresh and tasty Grenadian seafood anywhere else and you surely won’t be disappointed.
