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.

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.”
