Your skipper

Your professional skipper, Marc, has many assets. He is the owner of the boat which he carefully maintains. He has several diplomas, like the marine marchande, captain’s certificate, and BPPV.

Finally, Marc makes discretion the cornerstone of his relationship with his guests. If you would like to learn about sailing, he will gladly share his passion with you. On the other hand, if you wish to do farniente and take full advantage of the natural environment, he will just smoothly navigate the boat to Petite Terre.

Activity details

This day trip to the Petite Terre nature reserve on Marc’s Aliza, a 12.4-meter-long Gib’Sea, is an exceptional tour! 100% nature, 100% exclusive. Prepare for a true journey to heaven between friends or as a family for a day.

You will get to the boat in groups of 2 to 9 people at 7:45 in the morning, ready to board. Departure at 8:00 (or at a different time at your convenience since it is your exclusive trip). The adventure starts when you head to the islets of Petite Terre.

If multiple multicolored fish, rays, turtles, small lemon sharks, iguanas, and other wonder await you at the Petite Terre nature reserve, it is possible that you might see some dolphins and, depending on the season, some whales with their calves during the crossing. Once you have arrived on the island (2 or 3 hours of sailing depending on the wind), Marc will make sure to give you a small briefing on respecting the environment on Petite Terre’s nature reserve, a real open-sky aquarium.

Get your masks, fins, and snorkels to go on an underwater adventure in the coral reef that links the two islands. Then, you can go on a stroll on the island and discover the wildlife and plants, as well as the little museum on the ground floor of the lighthouse. Be careful, the island’s inhabitants, Guadeloupe’s endemic iguanas, harmless, prehistoric looking herbivores, will be waiting for you.

The cold meal consisting of tabbouleh, meats, cheese, and dessert will be served to you on the yacht under the bimini, sheltered from the sun, so you can eat as comfortably as possible.

You choose what to do in the afternoon, just like in the morning. Are you tempted by a little siesta under the coconut trees to digest the meal? a little kayak tour? … It’s time to go back. The swell is with you this way, expect the return trip to take 1h30 to 2h.

It is always sad to leave Petite Terre… you’ll see… but you will come back because it’s truly magical. We told you… it’s paradise.
