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.
