Your Day on Board
We will meet you at the Baie-Mahault marina at 8:30 a.m.
Once on board, we hoist the sails and set off. The sea is calm, the water crystal clear, and we enjoy the tranquillity of sailing. At the front of the boat, the nets await you. Enjoy sunbathing or find a spot in the shade of the sails.

At the rear, sheltered from the sun, there are benches and a bar where you can find water, tea, coffee and fruit juice.

The skipper and his crew will be delighted to introduce you to the basics of sailing, share their passion for sailing and their knowledge of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin Lagoon, a reservoir rich in biodiversity.

A short hour’s sail will take us above an underwater wreck in shallow water.

Enjoy a swim and admire the many tropical fish that have made their home in this unique ecosystem.

We will then set sail for Caret Islet. A small islet of white sand and the jewel of Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin, discover its history and evolution. The islet is also undergoing revegetation, so landing there is prohibited.


The aperitif will be served with your feet in the water, in front of the islet. Share a convivial moment over our famous homemade planteur cocktail.

Then, a short boat trip will take us to the Heart of the Park, between The Coral Reef and Fajou Islet.

Marvel at the idyllic setting offered by this marine protected area.

A typical lunch prepared on board will be served on the catamaran:
- Marlin rillettes
 - Smoked chicken
 - Rice and plantain
 - Seasonal fruit
 - (drinks: water, wine: rosé)
 - Coffee
 

With a mask and snorkel, you can explore the Coral Reef.

Discover an extremely diverse range of flora and fauna.

But you can also relax quietly, enjoy a cup of coffee, let yourself be rocked by the boat’s nets, and swim in crystal-clear water.

It will then be time to hoist the sails and head back. Before returning to port, a short detour via Pointe Madeleine Bay will allow us to get closer to the Mangrove.

The crew will be happy to share their knowledge about this ecosystem, which is essential to the biodiversity of the lagoon.

We will be back at the port around 5 p.m.

The magic of sailing in extraordinary natural surroundings will linger long after you disembark… A break that we hope will enchant you.
