We are inviting you to sail with us and discover beauty of French West Indies.
During this skippered sailing holidays in the Caribbean you will discover Guadeloupe with its butterfly-shaped and amazing snorkelling in Jean Cousteau Reserve – one the most beautiful reefs in the Caribbean, Montserat with a history dating back to 500 BC, St Kitts and Nevis, a favorite destination for high net worth individuals, St.Eustatius – the historic gem of Caribbean, St Barts – prestigious Caribbean jewel and St Martin – two cultures in one island: a quiet French part and an entertaining Dutch
We will welcome you with a refreshing cocktail at 5 – 6 pm on board of Akua Aminata. The skipper will introduce the sailing itinerary, safety rules, and the living arrangements on the catamaran. Then we will do some shopping for the next few days and go together for dinner in the marina.
Today our destination is Les Saintes, a small archipelago consisting of pristine islands, of which only two are inhabited – Terre de Haut and Terre de Bas. Our destination is Terre de Haut, which will enchant us with Saintes Bay, listed on the UNESCO World’s Most Beautiful Bays. We will also enjoy a nice walk around one of the prettiest port town in the Caribbean.
After nice sailing from Iles Saintes to Deshaies, we recomend to visit Jardin Botanique de Deshaies – in our opinion, the most beautiful in the Caribbean
It’s time to leave Guadeloupe and sail towards Montserrat, which was inhabited by the Tainos c.500 BCE. In the evening we will go to taste local national dish – a delicious stew made from the meat of male (ram) goat.
It will be a lazy day for you, and a busy one for the skipper. We have the longest leg of the journey ahead of us. In the evening, we will arrive at St. Kitts and Nevis – favorite destination for high net worth individuals.
After a long sail the previous day, we will rest and explore St Kitts and Nevis. We can choose between Sky Safari Tours or ‘Off the Beaten Path’ Land Rover Tour or know the lush forest around Ms Liamuiga. There is always plenty of ideas and options of exploring the island.
It will be 4-5 hours sailing day after which we will reach legendary St Barts – destination of choice for the world’s most influential individuals. As Charles Baudelaire said “there, everything is order and beauty, luxury, calm and voluptuousness”.
Our today destination is St Martin, but before we will reach it, we will visit Tintamare island, a magnificent green heaven of peace in the middle of the ocean.
Our today destination is Anguilla, culinary capital of the Caribbean, blending West Indian, African, French and British cooking traditions. We will enjoy snorkelling in Shoal Bay looking for stingrays, swarms of fish and in the evening we will go Sharky’s which is the top of everyone’s “Best Anguilla Restaurant’s” list
Sailing towards final destination at St. Martin we will make a stop in Friar’s Bay for swimming and a nice drink or lunch at the iconic Friar’s Bay Beach Cafe. In the afternoon we will sail towards Marigot Bay which is our final destination.
Disembarkation from the catamaran is around 10am. We strongly recommend that you will stay for couple of days to explore St Martin which offers very fascinating things to do. Some of our special recomendation is Flying Dutchman – the steepest zipline in the world, Maho Beach where planes fly just above your head, mural tour in Philisburg and the Yoda Guy Movie Exhibit – Nick Maley’s (creator of Yoda) private collection of movie relics.
