Navigation dans l'archipel de la Guadeloupe

Cette croisière vous fera naviguer entre les principales îles de la Guadeloupe offrant des paysages très variés pour un dépaysement total.

Cette croisière vous permet de découvrir les différents attraits de la Guadeloupe et de ses dépendances, en faisant de courtes navigations.

Nous vous proposons une idée de parcours, tout à fait modulable et extensible selon le nombre de jours consacrés à votre séjour à bord d'un de nos voiliers.

Ces étapes font suite à votre navigation de Martinique aux îles de la Guadeloupe. Comptez environ 2 semaines pour tout faire.

Day 1

After refuelling in Bas du Fort, you cast off for 3 to 4 hours of smooth sailing towards Marie Galante.

Here, you anchor at Anse Canot, facing a magnificent, wind-protected white-sand beach on the island's north-western shore. A swim in the warm turquoise water is a must... Don't forget your mask and snorkel to discover the superb underwater world. Numerous trees line the beach, providing shady spots for pleasant idleness.
 

 

 

Day 2

Weigh anchor and head a little further south, into Baie de Saint Louis. From here, a dinghy pontoon provides easy access to land.

Take advantage of the day to visit this magnificent place and meet its warm, welcoming population.

Marie Galante is an authentic rural island where life is good. Tour this picturesque island by taxi or scooter, stopping to see its many mills, taste a rum in one of its distilleries and enjoy the magnificent panoramic views.

If you have the time, don't hesitate to stay 2 or 3 days on “the island of a hundred mills”.

Day 3

At dawn, you hoist the sail for Terre de Haut aux Saintes, some 14 nautical miles away. After 2 to 3 hours of downwind sailing, you're presented with a totally different landscape, from a flat island to a volcanic archipelago. You pick up a buoy opposite the village of Les Saintes. For those who prefer more privacy, you can also take a buoy behind Pain de Sucre, or at îlet Cabri.

A pontoon provides easy access to the mainland, where there's something for everyone: lazing on one of the superb beaches, strolling through the colorful lanes, visiting Fort Napoléon with its breathtaking view over the bay, sampling one of the island's culinary specialties, etc.

Don't hesitate to dive around your boat: snorkelling offers an incredible palette of colors. You'll be immersed in a veritable aquarium, surrounded by tropical fish, sea turtles, lobsters, etc.

If you have a little time, don't hesitate to discover the wilder Terre de Bas, where you can enjoy beautiful hikes in unspoilt natural surroundings.

Day 4

You'll set sail across the Canal des Saintes, with the wind on the beam, to reach the south of Basse Terre in Guadeloupe. Keep your eyes peeled - if you're lucky, it's not uncommon to see humpback whales in full mating display, usually from December to May.

You pass Vieux Fort, and head upwind to the Malendure anchorage, north of Bouillante. Beware: depending on the conditions, the anchorage can be very slippery.

Take a swim in the Cousteau reserve, one of Guadeloupe's most beautiful sites

 

 

Day 5

Weighing anchor early, you sail down the leeward coast to the marina at Rivière Sens.

From there, you're off for a day in the lush rainforest, or to climb La Soufrière for those who love hiking. A change of scenery guaranteed.

 

Day 6

This will be one of the longest sailing days of the year, as we make our way to Gosier islet for a final night at anchor. 

This coral islet can be identified by its lighthouse. You'll also see many pelicans.

Enjoy a swim in this little paradise!

 

Day 7

It's time to head back down to Martinique, with why not a stopover in Dominica.
