A tour of the Pointe des Châteaux on a motor catamaran
The experience
Come aboard this motor catamaran for an unforgettable trip to Pointe des Châteaux. Setting off from the Saint-François marina (jetty A), enjoy a one-hour crossing, a photo stop and a leisurely return journey along the unspoilt coastline. A relaxing break in the lagoon, with a swim and refreshments, rounds off this experience led by skipper Andrea and hostess Nadège. Maximum capacity: 35 passengers for a friendly and safe experience.
As you approach Pointe des Châteaux, let yourself be captivated by the power and raw beauty of the scenery: the play of the waves, the shifting light on the rock formations and the vastness of the horizon create a unique setting, a true invitation to escape. A photo stop (weather permitting) will give you the chance to capture these magical moments, when nature reveals itself in all its splendour. The return journey is a gentle one, at a slower pace, so that you can fully admire the coastline and its secluded beaches. The experience continues with a stop of around an hour in the peaceful lagoon of Saint-François, a true haven of tranquillity. Make the most of this relaxing moment to take a dip and enjoy a refreshing snack: planteur, juice, coffee, and a dash of rum punch, available in passion fruit or coconut flavours depending on availability. This excursion, combining thrills with moments of tranquillity, is designed to let you experience the very essence of Guadeloupe, with its unspoilt nature, authentic beauty and culinary delights. Whether you’re a lover of picturesque landscapes or simply looking for a moment’s rest, every moment on board invites you to discover the island’s authentic charm.
