Palm trees, turquoise water, golden and black sand, fiery sunsets... But Martinique is not just a tropical paradise. It's a living and fascinating history of the Creoles. Here, modern art intertwines with traditions dating back to the Middle Ages.
Sugar cane, an active volcano, mountains - Pitons, uninhabited islands - believe us, this vacation will not leave you bored!

Day 1. Martinique
Martinique is known as the "Island of Flowers" or, as Columbus named it, "The Best Place on Earth." This is where your New Year and adventure in the Caribbean Islands begin. From the FDF airport or hotel (if you arrive early), we head to Le Marin marina where we board the catamaran, meet the crew, and receive instructions from the captain. For dinner, we suggest heading to the Indigo Factory restaurant located right in the marina. *Boarding the catamaran at 5:00 PM
Day 2. Rodney Bay
Early in the morning, we set sail for our first trip to the island of St. Lucia. This island is famous for its untouched natural beauty, breathtaking jungles, tropical flora and fauna, healing waters of natural springs, and traditional cuisine
Day 2. St. Lucia Island
Today we will go to the most beautiful part of St. Lucia Island to see the Pitons Mountains, which are included in UNESCO's World Heritage List. In the triangle formed by Petit Piton, Gros Piton, and Morne Bonin, there was once a crater of an ancient volcano that is over 40,000 years old
Day 4. St. Vincent, Benquia
Today we have a long journey to Bequia, which translates from the local dialect as "The Island of Clouds." For lunch, we will stop at a beautiful bay on the island of St. Vincent. We will spend several hours here and plan to head deep into the island to admire its waterfalls, volcanic beaches, and lush green forests. Along the way, fishing enthusiasts can fish and catch dinner for the whole crew. Bequia Island is famous for its incredible sunsets, the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary that saves Bissa turtles from extinction, shipbuilding, and the infamous whale hunting. Here, you can visit a museum of the history of whaling
Day 5. Mustique
This island has no ferry service, and large liners do not come here. You can only get here on a private yacht, which is what we will do. The island is privately owned and home to many celebrities. There are only 114 houses here, many of which belong to celebrities like Mick Jagger, Bryan Adams, the British royal family, and others. Along the way to the island, we will stop at small uninhabited islands
Day 6. St. Vincent
Today, we will be heading to Port Royal to meet Captain Jack Sparrow... Or rather, to Wallilabou Bay where the first part of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" was filmed. Some of the movie props still remain here, and the pirate atmosphere is still palpable
Day 7. Anse D'arlet
Today, we're heading back to our home marina, stopping along the way in picturesque bays to swim and admire the underwater world, sunbathe, and practice yacht handling. Tonight, we'll be staying in Martinique, where we'll have a farewell dinner at one of the wonderful Caribbean restaurants or head out to a lively tropical disco.
Day 8. Martinique
Happy, tanned, and full of memories, we bid farewell to the captain and crew and make our way to the airport or hotel, depending on whether you wish to stay in the Caribbean a little longer. *Check-out at 9:00.
