Discover Saint-Pierre's wild Atlantic coastline by nimble private boat with Les Zigotos, exploring sea caves, hidden coves, and vertiginous cliffs inaccessible on foot. This is the definitive perspective on the archipelago's untamed geography.
What to expect
Departing Saint-Pierre harbour, you skim along the island's rugged southern coastline, ducking into dark sea caves and pulling up beside wave-sculpted rock arches. The skipper-guide points out hidden fishing hamlets, abandoned lighthouses, and the exact spots where American rum-runners once exchanged contraband during Prohibition. The scale of the cliffs from sea level is breathtaking and completely different from any land-based vantage. On calm days the water's clarity reveals the seabed in vivid detail.
Good to know
Tours depart from the main harbour — easy walking distance from the tender pier. Duration is approximately 1.5–2 hours; confirm timing when booking to ensure you are back well before all-aboard. Wear wind-resistant layers and non-slip shoes. Book directly and well ahead — this is one of the most sought-after experiences on the island.
