The first night of your stay in Saint Martin will be spent at the marina where your boat is located. Saint Martin is an island territory curiously shared by the French and Dutch administrations, and it is well known as one of the best tourist destinations in the Caribbean. In Saint Martin, French, English, and Dutch are spoken, but Spanish, Portuguese, and Papiamento are also used. Even though there is a disparity of currency, US dollars are accepted everywhere and the French side extends the use of the euro. In the capital of Saint Martin, Marigot, there is a small and lively market full of spices that also offers homemade rum flavored with local fruits and herbs. Among the most famous beaches in the Caribbean is Orient Beach, a perfect spot for windsurfing and water skiing. You can take a walking route to Pic Paradise, the highest point on the island.

After sailing from French territory, we will dock our boat on British soil, just twenty minutes away from Saint Martin. The island of Anguilla forms an archipelago with several nearby islets, perfect for full-sail navigation between them. Anguilla has earned a lasting reputation for the kindness of its people, who live in charming villages scattered across the island. Its 33 beaches are each spectacular in their own way, and for most of the year, they remain nearly deserted. Sandy Ground is a small village that comes alive every night with the lights of seaside bars, making it a perfect place to dine and dance to live music. From the calm and long Rendezvous Bay to Shoal Bay Beach, there are many bars set right on the dazzling white sand. The secluded Little Bay is a favorite romantic spot for couples. Anguilla’s beach options are full of entertainment, music, and dancing.

After enjoying a morning discovering the beaches of Anguilla, today you return to Saint Martin. On the northern coast lies Grand Case Beach, also known as the “Gourmet Capital” of the Caribbean. There is even a cookbook originating from here that features fifty exclusive Caribbean recipes. Grand Case is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of red wine while relaxing to the sound of turquoise waves in the bay. It is one of the calmest beaches on the island, ideal for families with young children. At night, however, Grand Case becomes lively, and the finest restaurant in the area offers live entertainment every week. From the Grand Case Beach Club, you can witness the best sunsets on the island. Enjoy a drink and take in the descent of the sun from a violet sky into turquoise waters.

Tintamarre is a paradise-shaped island, covered in lush green land over the Atlantic Ocean. This uninhabited island lies just 4 km from Saint Martin and is popularly known as “the flat island.” Remnants of an old airstrip and a cotton plantation still remain, reflecting its active past under French, British, and even German control. On the western side is Baie Blanche, the most open and accessible bay, with a charming beach perfect for swimming. On the eastern side, a second beach filled with rocks hosts an enormous variety of fish, making it a delight for divers. Its coastline is among the richest in marine life in the surrounding area.

This is perhaps a place without equal in terms of beauty combined with complete serenity and calm, deserving a special mention in our itinerary. This small beach on the island of Saint Barthélemy is especially interesting due to its unique access: only reachable by boat or on foot. Don’t miss the chance to approach with your boat and anchor in its stunning turquoise and clear waters. As part of the Marine Reserve, its rocky seabed is nothing short of magnificent for diving and spotting sea turtles or manta rays.

Saint Barthélemy is undoubtedly the most unique among the Windward Islands of the French Antilles, known for its extravagance and high standard of living. This Caribbean gem attracts luxury tourism, celebrities, and international yacht owners who are unfazed by the island’s high prices and seek paradise on Earth. Surrounded by stunning beaches lined with coconut trees, Saint Barth is the perfect destination for upscale travel. Yet, it also offers sports like fishing, sailing, surfing, kitesurfing, and diving. Its culinary reputation is legendary, from the Saint Barth Gourmet Festival to the refined restaurants of Gustavia, blending French and Caribbean flavors. Without a doubt, it’s the perfect place to end our itinerary before returning to Saint Martin, just 24 km away by sea.

Today is your last day of sailing. Return to Saint Martin and enjoy what the island has to offer. Marina Fort Louis, located in the heart of Marigot, provides a wide range of services, including high-quality restaurants and easy access to the town center. In Grand Case, which you already know, there are plenty of eateries showcasing the most delicious recipes of Saint Martin, well worth discovering. But do not miss the famous “lolos,” rustic beachside food stalls offering dishes like rice with beans and fried plantain, or stewed conch. Meanwhile, the marina Royale harbor hosts a fine collection of Italian and French-style restaurants. Tomorrow morning, you must return to your departure marina at the scheduled time and disembark, concluding a journey through the Antilles that will surely remain etched in your memory.
