The people behind Savvy
A Life Shaped by Sailing
Danny Donelan’s connection to Savvy became a commitment to sharing Grenada’s coastline and keeping a living maritime culture visible.
Meet the founder
From corporate life to the sea.
Danny first fell in love with Savvy after witnessing the sloop’s launch in Petite Martinique. What began as a passion pursued outside corporate life became a commitment to sharing Grenada’s coastline and preserving the culture carried by traditional wooden boats.
Savvy offers more than tours. Each private charter is an invitation to connect with the ocean, the island, and the stories held by the people sailing her.
“Keeping the tradition alive is what makes us different and unique as a people.”
