Introduction to traditional sailing

If you’ve got your sea legs, this activity is perfect for you. You’ll have the chance to sail on a traditional sailing boat across the magnificent Saint-François lagoon. Make the most of it by exploring the lagoon and the scenery, then take the helm to experience for yourself what it’s like to be a captain at the helm of your own vessel – all over a two-hour period.

Traditional sailing is regarded as a sport. In fact, every year a competition takes place in which numerous crews set sail in their traditional sailing boats to circumnavigate Guadeloupe. With the advent of motorboats, it fell into obscurity until the year 2000, when it was restored to its former glory. Since then, traditional sailing has been practised not only in competitions but also for pleasure, to experience the thrill and enjoy some quality time on the water.
