Your possible stops during this cruise

"The itinerary will depend on weather conditions, your wishes and those of your skipper. In addition, sanitary constraints will be taken into account during your stay."

Hoist the sails for an island-to-island sailing course from Guadeloupe!
The crew of two professional sailors will meet you at the port of Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe. Welcome in the morning from 09:00. (Possibility of settling on the yacht the day before departure from 18:00 - optional).

Sailing program :
The aim of this sailing course is to teach you how to sail in a variety of conditions, including steady and sustained winds.
Sailing will be punctuated by stopovers, so you can rack up the miles while enjoying the beauty of the West Indies. it's worth noting that the islands in this region are fairly close together, so you can take full advantage of the trade winds as you sail from island to island...
If you're more of a "sailor", you'll enjoy a 100% sailing course with long trips. on the other hand, if you want to sail and discover the islands of the West Indies at the same time, sail from island to island, choosing the time you wish to allocate to each stopover. It goes without saying that the captain retains control of the sailing program.
During these 10 days at sea, you will be able to prepare the navigation, plot the course, choose the sail, set sail and many other activities... You will be 100% active in the life on board (navigation, cooking...).
Everyone is welcome on the yacht: day skippers; families; friends; solo sailors; small groups. The only thing they all have in common is the desire to have fun and learn to sail!

Stopover time:
Take advantage of your stopovers ashore to soak up the sea spray that the West Indies have to offer. It's the perfect time to hike the trails, dive under waterfalls, laze on a sandy beach, swim near turtles - all unforgettable activities to enjoy in the West Indies.
