Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique 8 days cruise
One way from Pointe-à-Pitre to Le Marin via Les Saintes and Dominica

Boarding at the Bas-du-Fort marina begins at 6:00 p.m. You'll meet the crew and your fellow cruisers over a welcome drink, while the captain presents the program and safety instructions.

Shortly after dinner, the catamaran departs the marina for a short sail to Gosier Islet. Anchorage is located opposite the islet, just off the coast. Depending on your arrival time, you may choose to go ashore to enjoy the lively waterfront atmosphere: beach bars, Creole restaurants, a local market, and more.

Overnight at anchor in Gosier.

After breakfast, depart for Marie-Galante, nicknamed "the big pancake" for its gentle relief, or "the island of a hundred mills." A peaceful cruise takes you to this authentic island, with its unspoiled atmosphere.

 Marie-Galante charms its visitors with its rural landscapes, its iconic rum distilleries—including that of Père Labat—and, above all, its immense beaches lined with coconut trees. Depending on the conditions, the catamaran will anchor in one of its turquoise lagoons. 

In the afternoon, enjoy the beach, explore the island, or treat yourself to a distillery tour. Relax, snorkel, and swim: the good life in its purest form. 

Dinner and overnight at anchor.
 

Departure in the morning for the Saintes archipelago, a group of volcanic islands with a unique atmosphere. During the cruise, it's not uncommon to spot dolphins, often playful at the bow of the boat. 

Upon arrival, you'll drop anchor in the Bay of Saintes, ranked among the most beautiful in the world. Terre-de-Haut welcomes you with its red-roofed houses, lively streets, and peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. In the afternoon, you'll have plenty of time to swim from the catamaran or explore the surrounding area on foot. 

Dinner and overnight stay at anchor in the bay.
 

A full day in the archipelago to enjoy its landscapes, heritage, and unique atmosphere. In Terre-de-Haut, maritime traditions are still very much alive. The inhabitants, some of whom are descended from Breton sailors, have maintained a strong island identity. 

Among the must-sees: Fort Napoléon, perched on the island's heights, which offers a panoramic view of the bay and houses a small museum. On the beach side, you can choose between the wilder Anse Crawen, Pompierre Beach, lined with coconut trees, or Anse du Figuier. You can rent a bicycle to explore the island at your leisure.

 While strolling through the village, don't miss a taste of "Tourment d'amour," a sweet coconut specialty, and a glimpse of the famous fishing boats called "Saintoises," still built locally.

 Dinner and overnight at anchor in the archipelago.

In the morning, depart for Dominica. Gradually, the island appears on the horizon with its mountains covered in dense vegetation and its peaks often shrouded in clouds. Arrival in Portsmouth, in the northwest of the island, in the vast Prince Rupert Bay. 

Still unspoiled and far from the main tourist hustle and bustle, Dominica offers an immersion in spectacular and authentic nature. In the afternoon, enjoy an optional excursion on the Indian River.

This peaceful waterway, once used by the Kalinago to connect their villages to the sea, winds through mangroves and tropical forests. Aboard traditional boats guided by local boatmen, you will discover a calm, secret world of great ecological richness. Some locations were even immortalized in Pirates of the Caribbean.

 Return on board in the late afternoon. Dinner and overnight at anchor in Portsmouth.

After breakfast, take a short sail to Mero Beach on the west coast of Dominica. This black sand beach, lined with coconut palms, is popular with local families, especially on weekends. The water is clear, swimming is pleasant, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

 In the afternoon, depart for an optional excursion inland. You'll visit Wotten Waven and its natural hot springs, then the famous Titou Gorge, perfect for a refreshing swim, before discovering the majestic Trafalgar Falls. This getaway combines gentle adventure with immersion in lush nature. 

After dinner on board, head for Martinique. The catamaran casts off for an overnight cruise to Anses d'Arlet.

Early in the morning, arrive at Anses d'Arlet, a charming Martinican village bordered by a golden sand beach. The wooden pontoon, the church facing the sea, the coral reefs accessible from the beach... everything invites you to swim and relax in a peaceful atmosphere.

 After lunch, sail along the southern coast of Martinique towards Sainte-Anne. The landscapes unfold: volcanic cliffs, quiet coves, and long golden beaches. 

Dinner and overnight at anchor in Sainte-Anne.

Breakfast on board, followed by a short sail to the marina in Le Marin. Disembarkation is scheduled for 9 a.m.
