Hillsborough is the main town of Carriacou, the largest of Grenada's sister islands, a relaxed seafaring place known as the Isle of Reefs, with a strong boatbuilding and sailing heritage and a famous regatta. Around Tyrrel Bay and the town, local families mix with a small community of sailors and second-home owners. Shipping here covers both family barrels and household moves, reached by a final inter-island leg from Grenada.
Whether it's a barrel or a full home, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs and ships from the UK, clears the goods at the main port, and arranges the inter-island leg to Carriacou.
From a single barrel to a whole home, here's how most people ship to the island.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.
Shared or full 20ft and 40ft for a large load or a home.
