Sailors will enjoy the island’s calm lagoons and coves, easterly trade winds and line-of-sight sailing. Exhilarating open-water cruising to the shared central sailing area encompassing Iles des Saintes, Marie Galante and Dominica affords you the chance to see some of the most undeveloped islands and amazing rainforests that the Caribbean has to offer. Some sailors also opt for one-way sailing to St. Martin and Antigua.
Guadeloupe itself is a mix of French sophistication with a relaxed, Caribbean feel. Further exploration of the area will take you to striking cliffs, volcanoes, waterfalls, wild countryside and gorgeous green backdrops. And from golf to diving to parachute jumping, the islands that make up the Guadeloupe area are filled with fun activities for everyone.
