18-passenger sailing catamaran trip – Sainte-Anne/Marie-Galante – Private hire

A private day trip to Marie-Galante, departing from Sainte-Anne, aboard a 13-metre sailing catamaran. The day’s programme includes a crossing to the ‘Grande Galette’ in the utmost comfort, followed by a guided tour of the island. This is followed by a meal and aperitif served on board before heading to Anse Canot for a swim and a paddleboard ride. An excursion during which you’ll be pampered by the two crew members.

The 44-foot catamaran (just over 13 metres) and the two crew members await you at Galbas harbour for departure. With a maximum of 18 passengers on board, you’ll set sail, with plenty of space to ensure you don’t feel cramped during your crossing to Saint-Louis de Marie-Galante. From the moment you set off, coffee, water, juice and planteur will be available. Once you’ve disembarked at the quay, you’ll board a minibus for a guided tour of the island. This is your chance to discover all the riches of the ‘land of sugar cane’ and some buildings that hold an important place in the history of the island and of Guadeloupe. Shortly before lunchtime, you’ll return to the boat for the second part of the excursion. We’ll head to Anse Canot, a rather secluded and peaceful beach where you can enjoy a swim and a sunbathe. During the journey from Saint-Louis to Anse Canot, you’ll be served an aperitif, whilst lunch will be served on board once you arrive at your destination. Just as Jérémy, the captain, handles the helm with consummate skill, so too does Maxime, the cook and deckhand, delight his guests’ taste buds with dishes from the local cuisine.

MENU

• Aperitif: vegetable quiche
• Main course: local chicken, rice and vegetables
• Dessert: chocolate cake with coffee or tea
• Drinks: still water / rum / juice / planteur

For the rest of the day, you’ll enjoy Anse Canot. With its calm, clear waters, swimming and snorkelling enthusiasts will be in their element. The white sandy beach is also perfect for a post-lunch sunbathe. Paddleboards will also be available for your enjoyment. The return journey to Sainte-Anne will set off in the early afternoon, with arrival scheduled shortly before nightfall.
