Once we receive your request, we will confirm the availability of the boat, as well as check for alternative ones. To ensure your experience is the best it can be, we may contact you to discuss your request in detail. Let us do the research for you - free of charge.
When can I get in touch with the captain/skipper?
The timing depends on your charter type. For crewed charters, we can provide the captain's contact details upon request. For bareboat charters with a hired skipper, you can request the contact information 1-3 weeks before departure.
What is the Charter Fee?
The Charter Fee is an additional, obligatory cost, which typically includes the end cleaning of the boat, home port fees, and linen & towels. The details of the charter fee differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner.
Are there any other costs I should be aware of?
There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re sailing a motorboat or a sailboat. You can estimate fuel costs by double-checking your chosen boat’s engine, and the expected distance you aim to sail.

Why Rent a Catamaran in Martinique?

The Essential Shallow Draft: Martinique boasts some of the most beautiful, shallow anchorages in the Windward Islands. A catamaran allows you to safely glide over coral reefs and anchor just yards away from the golden sands of Les Salines.

  • Expansive Outdoor Living: The Caribbean weather is stunning year-round. Catamarans offer massive forward nets and wide aft cockpits, giving your group plenty of space to dine al fresco, sunbathe, and stargaze.
  • Unmatched Stability: Enjoy a peaceful, flat platform both underway and at anchor, ensuring everyone on board feels relaxed and comfortable while taking in the endless ocean views.
Captain’s Insider Tip: Saint-Pierre & Mount Pelée “Take advantage of your catamaran’s stability for the scenic sail up the leeward coast to Saint-Pierre. Once known as the 'Paris of the Caribbean' before the 1902 volcanic eruption, you can anchor right in the bay to explore the historic ruins and taste world-renowned Rhum Agricole.”
