Martinique and Saint Lucia Yacht Charter Guide

Martinique is a fascinating mix of French culture and Caribbean customs. If you are looking for the more sophisticated pleasures the French passion for fashion and good food is as alive here as it is to be found in its less sunny motherland.

The Island is volcanic in origin, crowned by the active Mont Pelée, which wiped out Martinique’s former capital of St-Pierre in 1902. Often called the ‘Isle of Flowers’ there are natural botanical gardens tucked into this rugged landscape.
Long luscious beaches, swimming and diving are the main attractions in the south.
There’s a lot going on here, but it all happens on Caribbean time. There is plenty to do on shore by day and to sample the city’s budding nightlife. The location places it to windward of this sailing region making it the ideal starting point for a one way sailing holiday across the short stretch of water to St Lucia and down through the Grenadines.

St Lucia is a small, lush tropical gem that is still relatively unknown, the sort of island that travellers to the Caribbean dream about . St Lucia is one of the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles, and is located between Martinique and St. Vincent, and north of Barbados. Mountainous and lush, you will experience this jewel of the Windwards Islands as a place of natural wonders where you are greeted with warm hospitality. It's a volcanic island where the twin peaks of The Pitons rise over 2000 ft at the water's edge. Further inland there are hikes you can take where the rain forests shelter wild orchids, giant ferns and birds of paradise.
