Can anyone provide a comprehensive list of the most logical/popular Caribbean Island Hopping Groupings?
So far, I've seen:
1.) BVI via ferry between islands
2.) St Kitts / Nevis
3.) St Martin / Anguilla/ St Barths
Thanks!

Not in any particular order:
1) Puerto Rico/Culebra/Vieques
2) St. Vincent & all the Grenadines and possibily Grenada
3) Grand Cayman/Cayman Brac/Little Cayman
4) Antigua & Barbuda
5) Trinadad & Tobago
6) Not officially in the Caribbean - The Turks & Caicos
7) Guadalupe/Iles Des Saints/Marie Gallant
8) Cancun (not really an island) and Cozemel
9) The USVI's
10) Again, not technically in the Caribbean but the Bahamas Out-Islands could be considered and island grouping.
I left out one other grouping:
Aruba/Bonaire/Curacao
FYI - it's not always easy to get around the various "island groups".
A_Traveller has given you a pretty long list of island groups, but I think you were asking more about the practical implications of traveling between islands. It's always better when there are ferries or when flights are cheap.
Barbados and St. Lucia are often combined, and you can get a cheap flight between the two.
The Grenadines are linked by a ferry system or by cheap quick flights. This is an excellent island-hopping destination.
The Guadeloupe archipelago is a great island-hopping destination, either by ferry or flight. There are several good islands to visit there.
Ferries also link Dominica, Martinique, and Guadeloupe, but they are long rides.
Hi A_Traveller and Doug_Stallings:
Thanks for the help!! Doug is correct -- I am looking for islands that would easily lend themselves to hopping/grouping via ferry or very cheap and quick flights.
The Guadalupe/Iles Des Saints/Marie Gallant; the Grenadines and Puerto Rice/Culebra/Vieques grouping all fit your bill. FYI Guadalupe is a heavily "French" destination so if you don't speak the language you may find it a bit difficult to get around.
Keep in mind that the words "cheap" and "quick" are all relative terms so you have to do your homework to see if they meet your definition.
