Guadeloupe & Martinique Bases

GUADELOUPE

Life on this famous butterfly-shaped island revolves around the sea, sailing and watersports. Experience the contrast between the lush rainforest and waterfalls and the bustling French towns with their cafes, bakeries and restaurants. It’s the real flavour of France in the heart of the Caribbean. Cruising from here is exceptional whether you head south to Iles des Saintes and Dominica for beautiful beaches, undeveloped islands and amazing rainforests or north for more challenging sailing around the islands of Antigua, Nevis St. Kitts.

MARTINIQUE

The Windward Island of Martinique has a special Franco-Caribbean ambience all of its own. The beauty of the mountainous landscape is framed by incredible beaches and edged with turquoise waters. You will also find an abundance of excellent cuisine, guided inland tours, designer shopping and
exceptionally friendly people.
