Sail aboard a private catamaran to Les Saintes — a cluster of eight islets so achingly beautiful that Jacques Cousteau ranked their waters among the world's top ten dive sites. Turquoise bays, pastel-shuttered villages, and spectacular Fort Napoléon await.
What to expect
You board your private catamaran from the marina at Pointe-à-Pitre and glide south through the Guadeloupe Channel, sails filling with the trade winds. Anchoring in the glassy bay of Terre-de-Haut, you swim in water so clear you can count the fish beneath you. Explore the immaculate colonial village on foot — the boulangerie sells the famous 'tourments d'amour' coconut tarts — then climb to Fort Napoléon for panoramic views over the archipelago. The sail back is golden-hour magic.
Good to know
Journey is approximately 1 hour each way by sea. Confirm the full-day itinerary fits your ship's schedule — a 9 AM departure is ideal. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, snorkel gear (often provided), and euros for the village bakeries. Pre-book well in advance; private charters fill quickly on port days.
