Îles du Salut Private Catamaran Day: Royale, Saint-Joseph & Devils

Cruise all three Salvation Islands — Île Royale, Île Saint-Joseph, and the fabled Île du Diable — aboard a private crewed catamaran, combining snorkeling in crystalline Caribbean-Atlantic waters with exclusive shoreside exploration.

What to expect

Cast off from Kourou Marina on a sleek catamaran with a bilingual crew; dolphins frequently escort you on the crossing. Snorkel above vibrant coral heads teeming with parrotfish and sergeant majors, then step ashore on each island for a guided walk through the ruins. A Creole lunch with ti-punch is served on deck under the shade of the sails. The return passage at golden hour is simply spectacular.

Good to know

Book the private charter well in advance for cruise-ship dates; the operator will time departure to align with your all-aboard. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and water shoes. Seas can be lively June–December.
