Inside the Grenadines off-market private cay trade

Private islands in the Grenadines rarely reach public listings. Here is how the trade actually works.

Private cays in the Grenadines change hands quietly, usually through a small circle of advisors, family offices and trusted realtors.

Sellers prefer discretion, so these properties are shown by introduction only, often with non-disclosure agreements.

Key checks include title history, the Alien Landholding Licence, access to fresh water, and permitted development on the cay.

Qualified buyers can request introductions to current off-market opportunities through The Vault.
