This trip offers some of the most spectacular places in the Caribbean. We start from St Lucia and head north to Martinique where we start exploring the Windward/Leeward French Islands. There are plenty of good anchorages and places to see when cruising among these islands. They also invite you to rent a car and go exploring their natural beauty. Both Guadalupe and Martinique offer swimming in waterfalls and beaches we can only dream of up north. The cuisine is probably the best in the Caribbean and there is plenty of cultural layers to be found and experienced, especially in Martinique and Guadalupe. We will also visit the rugged and charming Dominica, a real original in the Caribbean.
Maybe a visit to one of the old sugar plantations, a rum distillery, or just go for a longer expedition to the rain forests? The options are almost endless and that's why we have allocated 12 days for the trip for us to get to know the place.
We aim to create a stress-free feeling that allows everyone to have a relaxed holiday in the Caribbean. We take a maximum of 6 persons for this cruise
Some of the places worth visiting:
St Anne, Fort de France, St Pierre (Martinique), Deshayes (Guadalupe), Isles Des Saintes, and Portsmouth (Dominica) – if we have the time and favorable winds we can also sail to Antigua!
