Yachtsman Grill

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Good Food, Good Wine, Good Company on a Nevis Beach

Yachtsman Grill sits right on the beach at Hamilton Villas in Cades Bay, looking out across the water toward sister isle St. Kitts. Complimentary chairs and umbrellas are set out for guests who want to swim or sun before or after eating, and the sunsets over the Caribbean Sea are the kind that make you linger over a second glass of wine.

A Kitchen That Makes Almost Everything In-House

The menu draws from both local tradition and international influences — a combination that reflects owners who have lived and worked around the world before settling into this family-run operation on Nevis. What anchors the kitchen is a commitment to sourcing: ingredients come from local fishermen and farmers whenever possible, and all breads, sauces, dips, glazes and desserts are made in-house daily.

Fresh local seafood and choice cuts of beef are menu staples, alongside international favorites and decadent homemade desserts. The restaurant's thin-crust pizza — topped with a rotating array of fresh ingredients — has earned a devoted following among both residents and visitors, making it one of the most talked-about items on the island.

A Wine List Worth the Recognition

The wine cellar is a physical presence in the dining room, not an afterthought. Wine Spectator recognized Yachtsman Grill with its Award of Excellence, a distinction that reflects the range and quality of a list designed to satisfy both the casual drinker and the serious collector. Caribbean cuisine and a well-curated wine program don't always go hand in hand — here, they do.

More Than a Restaurant

Beyond the dining room, Yachtsman Grill offers takeout and delivery across the area, caters to groups and special events, and operates within the broader Hamilton Villas property. The atmosphere is relaxed and genuinely welcoming — the kind of place where the food is serious but the setting never feels stiff.
