Day 1: Departure from Le Marin and Voyage to Anses d'Arlet
Your journey begins with check-in at Le Marin Marina in Martinique at 17:00, where you complete customs and immigration formalities. Once onboard and acquainted with the vessel, you set off towards Anses d'Arlet. Cruising past Sainte-Anne and the striking Diamond Rock, you spend roughly three hours at sea before dropping anchor at either Grande-Anse or Petite Anse.

Day 2: Coastal Passage to Saint-Pierre
With the first light of dawn, you raise anchor and set a course for Saint-Pierre. Enjoy a smooth 4-hour sail along the coastline, where the gentle guidance of favorable winds and the sight of flying fish, frigates, and occasionally playful dolphins create a mesmerizing natural show. Arriving in the bay of Saint-Pierre, nestled beneath the formidable Mount Pelée, you have the opportunity to wander through the historic village and absorb its rich cultural heritage. Should formalities remain pending, you complete the exit clearance before the day ends.
Day 3: Crossing the Dominica Channel to Roseau
Early in the morning, the yacht sets off to cross the Dominica Channel. Over approximately 4 hours, the dramatic seascape shifts as you approach Dominica’s lush, green terrain. Upon reaching Roseau, the capital of Dominica, you secure an anchor and complete the necessary entry clearances. The afternoon is reserved for exploring the local flavor—visit the colorful fruit and spice market, interact with friendly locals, and get a genuine taste of Caribbean life.
Day 4: Discovering the Natural Wonders of Dominica
Dedicate this day entirely to immersing yourself in Dominica’s raw natural beauty. Choose your adventure—opt for a scenic hike to cascading waterfalls, unwind in rejuvenating hot springs, or join a whale-watching excursion for a rare glimpse of these magnificent creatures. Later in the day, the yacht resumes its journey toward Portsmouth Bay on Dominica’s northern coast. In a brief 2-hour sail, you arrive at this tranquil anchorage, where you can relax and reflect on the island’s unspoiled charm.
Day 5: Indian River Excursion and Sail to Les Saintes
In the early hours, enjoy a short excursion along the Indian River on a local fishing boat, where the lush tropical scenery and gentle current set a serene tone. After replenishing your provisions at a local market, the yacht lifts anchor for a 3-hour passage to the Les Saintes archipelago—a cluster of seven idyllic islands. Dropping anchor near Terre de Haut, you have the opportunity to unwind in a setting defined by tranquility and picturesque beauty.
Day 6: Immersion in the Charm of Les Saintes
Begin your day by exploring Les Saintes’ renowned diving sites, celebrated for vibrant coral reefs and a rich diversity of marine life. If you prefer a different perspective, take a hike to a scenic viewpoint and admire the panoramic vistas over the islands. Later, relax on Pompierre Beach on Terre de Haut, where the soft sands and calm waters create the perfect environment for sunbathing or a refreshing swim.
Days 7 & 8: The Secluded Allure of Marie-Galante
Sail eastward for approximately 4 hours to reach the secluded island of Marie-Galante.

Day 10: Final Day in Guadeloupe
The last day is dedicated to winding down your voyage. Prepare the boat for check-out, refuel, and verify that all equipment and inventories are in order.
