Sailing in Martinique is truly a remarkable experience – if you have found your perfect boat …

The Caribbean island of Martinique celebrates its French culture with style, from cuisine to shops. Its bays are one of the safest and most beautiful in the Caribbean, which makes Martinique perfect for yacht charters. Trade winds are fairly consistent coming from northeast, with the calmest period being in September and October. The tidal range is minimal, and anchorages are available all along the coast. For beginners, it is recommended to set sail in the waters of the Caribbean Sea, whereas experts can spend their time sailing the rougher Atlantic Ocean side. Sailing in Martinique will be a great experience no matter what. Start your journey from the ports of Anses-d’Arlet, Pointe-du-Bout, or Port-du-Marin, which are the largest in the Caribbean and offer many facilities.

But no matter if you are an experienced sailor or beginner, the following catamarans, sailboats and yacht are the best boats, which you can find for sailing around Martinique. Differentiated in length, number of cabins, speed, level of privacy, exclusivity, features and amenities, we recommend the following boats for the perfect sailing trip around Martinique. There are many different types of boats, so if you are not sure which kind of boat is the right choice for you, have a look at out blog post to help you find out.
