Life
on this famous butterfly-shaped island revolves
around the sea, sailing and watersports.
Experience the contrast between the lush
rainforest and waterfalls and the bustling
French towns with their cafes, bakeries and
restaurants. It’s the real flavour
of France in the heart of the Caribbean.
Cruising from here is exceptional whether
you head south to Iles des Saintes and Dominica
for beautiful beaches, undeveloped islands
and amazing rainforests or north for more
challenging sailing around the islands of
Antigua, Nevis St. Kitts.
The
Windward Island of Martinique has a special
Franco-Caribbean ambience all of its own.
The beauty of the mountainous landscape
is framed by incredible beaches and edged
with turquoise waters. You will also find
an abundance of excellent cuisine, guided
inland tours, designer shopping and exceptionally
friendly people.
Guadeloupe and Martinique both experience year round northeast to southeast
