St. Barths Caribbean 8 days cruise
Round trip from Marigot, St Martin, via Anguilla and St Barths

Your ship will be waiting for you at the charming Fort Saint Louis marina, in the heart of Marigot, the "Capital" of the French part of the island.
For those arriving early, visit the town center, which has retained all its Creole charm, while becoming a veritable spot for luxury tourism: numerous restaurants facing the sea, duty-free boutiques. Don't miss the West Indies Shopping Mall, opposite the port, a veritable Ali Baba's cave of top brands from Cartier to Lacoste.  From 6 p.m., the crew awaits you on board: welcome cocktail, briefing on the cruise, installation in your cabins.
You'll leave the marina to anchor a little further north on the island, in the beautiful bay of Grand Case. Your first dinner on board will be served in a very Caribbean atmosphere, and you're sure to enjoy your first swim. Dinner and overnight at anchor.

After breakfast, around 8:30 a.m., you will weigh anchor and set sail for the Anguilla archipelago, a two-hour voyage.
A well-kept secret of the Lesser Antilles, Anguilla is a true haven of peace, a 102 km² coral archipelago located 5 NM north of the island of Saint Martin. A British dependency, it was once part of a confederation comprising Saint Kitts and Nevis. In 1995, it became an associate member of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States.
Anguilla is also the name of the main island, with an area of 96 km², which owes its name to its elongated shape. It has little vegetation and no fresh water. The altitude does not exceed 65 m, peaking at Crocus Hill.
Anguilla's wealth lies in the splendor of its 33 pristine white beaches, the jewel of which is Shoal Bay Coast, not to mention the beauty of its surrounding wild islets, surrounded by coral reefs.
Your first stop will be at Road Bay, where your captain will take care of customs formalities. Meanwhile, dive from your catamaran into the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea with your fins, mask, and snorkel.
After lunch, you will head to Crocus Bay. 
Sheltered from the prevailing winds, this long beach of white sand is bordered by limestone cliffs. The atmosphere here is peaceful, almost private, far from the island's more crowded beaches.
The afternoon is perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or exploring the seabed with your fins, mask, and snorkel along the rocks that close off the bay. 
Dinner and evening activities unfold gently, before a peaceful night under the starry sky of Anguilla.

Depart Crocus Bay after breakfast for Prickly Pear Cays, a pair of wild islets set on a coral reef. The site is renowned for its shallow, rich waters, ideal for snorkeling. On land, a white sand beach and a few beach bars give the stopover a relaxed, typically Caribbean atmosphere.
When the swell makes access to Prickly Pear difficult, the stopover is replaced by Sandy Island: a tiny white sand islet facing the coast, just a few dozen meters from the main island. A real postcard image, perfect for swimming and relaxing in shallow, crystal-clear water.

The afternoon continues at Rendezvous Bay, a long, curved beach that opens onto the horizon and offers a wonderful feeling of space. Swimming, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing punctuate the end of the day, with the silhouette of Saint Martin looming in the distance.
Dinner and overnight anchorage.

Departure from Anguilla after breakfast and the traditional morning swim (good habits are quickly acquired!) towards Ile Fourchue, or Devil's Island. For a change from turquoise waters and sandy beaches, we'll be discovering sea-blue waters and arid hills dotted with rare species of cactus. You may even be lucky enough to see whales or pilot whales in this passage, which they love so much...
A few years ago, Ile Fourchue was inhabited by goats, who devoured the vegetation, giving it a surprisingly lunar appearance. As one of the nature reserves around Saint Barth, everything is protected. You can disembark on the island to explore its heights. In the distance, you'll see Ile Pelée, with the Sor cière rock, so named for a surprisingly evocative rock peak, and on the opposite side, the Roche Table, a haven for seabirds: a panorama well worth the effort to admire. For those who don't like walking, Fourchue is a renowned snorkeling spot where the waters are exceptionally clear.
Lunch on board in front of this beautiful panorama, then departure for Gustavia, the capital of Saint Barthélemy, the V.I.P. (Veritable Paradise Island) of the West Indies. Entering Gustavia Bay, amidst exceptional yachts and majestic sailing ships, is always an emotional moment.
You'll be there around 5:00 pm, the ideal time to stroll through the colorful lanes and have a drink at the Bar de l'Oubli, or the Select, the sailors' favorite bar. Shopping: don't miss the St Barth Attitude T-shirt, or the St Barth West Indies, a must-have in your luggage. The big French luxury brands are also well established here. St Barth is a gentle blend of luxury and simplicity, chic and charm, far removed from the blinged-out image you might have of it: you'll love it!
Dinner and overnight at anchor in the bay.

This day is dedicated to discovering the island of Saint Barthélémy, its beaches and villages. This island has retained the charm of its wilderness and precious environment.
Seventeen beaches with evocative names: Colombier, Anse Gouverneur, Shell Beach, Baie de Saint Jean and its legendary Eden Roc hotel, in front of the coral reef, Grande Saline; charming little villages, like Lorient, still very Breton, or Corossol, with its shell museum.
For an in-depth visit to this very steep island, the best option is to rent a car for the day. Your crew will be happy to help you find the best solution for your needs. Return to the boat at around 7pm, dinner and overnight at anchor in Gustavia Bay.

After breakfast, you will leave the port of Gustavia to reach Shell Beach or Gouverneur Beach, depending on the anchorage conditions.
Located a stone's throw from the center of Gustavia, Shell Beach is recognizable by its sand mixed with polished shells and its relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a morning swim. More wild, Gouverneur Beach stretches at the end of a wide bay, bordered by hills, with crystal clear water and a very appreciable feeling of space.

The afternoon continues at Anse Colombier, one of the island's most unspoiled sites. Its beach, also known as Rockefeller Beach, recalls the history of this former private property , which is now protected. The cove is part of the Saint Barthélemy Marine Reserve, where the particularly well-preserved seabed offers beautiful snorkeling opportunities: tropical fish, rays, lobsters, conch shells, and sometimes passing turtles or dolphins.

For hiking enthusiasts, a marked trail leads to a viewpoint overlooking the cove, offering a beautiful view of the relief of Saint Barth and the Caribbean Sea.
Dinner and overnight anchorage at Anse Colombier.

In the morning, you will leave Anse Colombier and sail to the island of Saint Martin. 

Depending on conditions, stop at Anse Marcel or Friar’s Bay for lunch and swimming.
Nestled at the end of a well-sheltered bay, Anse Marcel offers a peaceful, almost lagoon-like atmosphere with generally very calm waters, ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and gentle exploration with fins, mask, and snorkel along the rocks. More open to the sea, Friar's Bay charms visitors with its friendly Caribbean atmosphere, a wide beach of white sand, and a sea that is sometimes more energetic, perfect for swimming and exploring the rocky areas at the edge of the bay.

In the late afternoon, we head to Grand Case, an iconic village on the west coast that comes alive at dusk. A former fishing village, Grand Case has a warm and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Stroll along the main street between craft shops—selling freshwater pearl or larimar jewelry, fabrics, and local creations—and lively terraces.

For a drink with your feet in the sand, lit by oil lamps, head to the Calmos Café, always welcoming and often rocked by salsa tunes. If you wish, you can also dine there, or opt for the more typical atmosphere of the small lolos lining the pontoon (additional charge). Night owls can extend the evening at Le Pirate, Sissou's " ," with a last ti-punch before returning to the boat.
Dinner and night at anchor.

At 9 a.m., after breakfast, you will regretfully leave your catamaran and its crew, who have served and accompanied you during this beautiful cruise full of memories.
