At Mauvin Hutchins' workshop, you can purchase the ultimate Bequia souvenir—a handmade model "Bequia boat"—or special-order a replica of your own yacht. The models are incredibly detailed and quite expensive, priced from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. The simplest models take about a week to make; a few are always available for immediate sale.
In addition to the handcrafted, expertly rigged, and authentically detailed model boats on display—everything from traditional Bequia whaling boats and classic schooners to modern-day cruisers—the Sargeant brothers (Timothy, Winston, and Lawson) build custom models on commission.
In addition to books about the Caribbean and yachting, you'll find cruising guides and charts, Caribbean flags, souvenir maps, beach novels, gifts, and exquisite scrimshaw and one-of-a-kind whalebone knives carved by Bequian scrimshander Sam McDowell.
Whether you're putting together a picnic, stocking your kitchenette, provisioning a yacht, looking for recognized brands or locally made seasonings and sauces, or just want some snacks, head for C.K. Greaves Supermarket. Sunrise Supermarket, in Arnos Vale, is owned by the same company.
A small roadside sign marks the atelier of French artist Claude Victorine. Well into her 90s, she still climbs the hill every day to walk down to Lower Bay. Stop by and admire her delicate, hand-painted, silk wall hangings and scarves.
This shop stocks an excellent selection of unusual handmade jewelry, wood carvings, scrimshaw, and resort clothing. It's above the Porthole restaurant, near the jetty.
This huge, modern supermarket has a store in Kingstown and a branch in Arnos Vale; both are open daily. You can buy groceries, beverages, deli meats, salads, desserts, and more. The Kingstown store has an in-store pharmacy (open weekdays), ATM, and mobile top-up facility.
You'll enjoy visiting the Kingstown market, a three-story enclosed building that really bustles on Friday and Saturday mornings, when vendors bring their produce, meats, and fish to market.
This self-taught craftsman, artist, musician, and drum maker is best known for the original art that he creates from dried banana leaves, carefully selecting and snipping varicolored bits and arranging them on pieces of wood to depict intricate local scenes. Prices range from $35 for smaller items to several thousands of dollars for larger works sold in galleries. Browne has a kiosk in front of his house but sometimes sets up shop on Bay Street, near the Cobblestone Inn.
Locally made grass floor mats, place mats, and other straw articles, as well as batik cloth, handmade West Indian dolls, hand-painted calabashes, and framed artwork are all available at this store that's three blocks from the wharf. Cash only; no credit cards.
Among the few souvenir shops in St. Vincent, Voyager has a small selection of duty-free cameras, electronics, watches, china, and jewelry.
