Your cruise
Do you dream of turquoise water, coconut palms and white sand beaches? You wish to spend your vacations off the beaten track? Frédéric, your skipper, is waiting for you on his sailboat to take you to discover the wonderful Grenadines archipelago, in the heart of the Antilles.
Embark from Martinique for a 10-day sailing course! For those who have no experience at sea, don't worry, your skipper will adapt to your level and desires.
Your possible stops during this cruise
please note that the itinerary will depend on the weather conditions, your wishes and those of your skipper. Furthermore, sanitary constraints will be taken into account during your stay.
You will meet your skipper at 5:00 pm at L'Anse à l'Âne in Martinique (or at another port on the island, to be arranged with Frédéric). He will welcome you on board, show you around the boat and explain the safety rules to follow during a cruise in the Grenadines and you can set sail.
The Grenadines archipelago south of Martinique is still one of the most authentic places on earth. Far from mass tourism, this archipelago is a delight for the eyes and perfect for learning to sail.
Leaving Martinique, you will sail to the volcanic and green islands of St Lucia and St Vincent, Bequia, the island of navigators and former whale hunters, the white and deserted beaches of the Tobago Cays, the crystal clear waters of Morpion and Petit St Vincent, the wild Union Island...
Every day will be different! You will sail each day to learn a little more about sailing, but that's not all: snorkeling stops with dives in the middle of fish and turtles, restaurants or bars with atmosphere, music and local dances for the amateurs, visits of botanical gardens or rum factories, markets in picturesque villages, discovery of sublime beaches with swimming and sunbathing, fishing... Here is the program!
at the end of these 10 days of dream, Frederic will bring you back to your initial port. You will disembark at 9:00 am.
For information: This Sailing Cruise in the Grenadines is extendable to 14 days at sea.
To face the health crisis, Frederic will propose you an alternative itinerary if the Grenadines are not accessible:
- Departure from Martinique,
- Stopovers in St Pierre, Trois Ilets, Anse d'Arlet in Martinique and in Saintes and Marie Galante in Guadeloupe,
- Disembarkation at L'Anse à l'Âne or Fort de France (depending on your flight tickets).
The skipper
Frederic has been on the water since he can remember and has always enjoyed helping others sail to share his knowledge and passion for the sea.
Happiness is not the destination, but rather the way you travel.

We spent 10 top days with Fred and Véronique discovering the Grenadine Islands! Thanks to them, we soon felt right at home 😊 Fred is a great teacher and was able to build our confidence and help us progress throughout the week. What's more, he knows the West Indies like the back of his hand and was able to take us to the best anchorages. The boat is very comfortable and well equipped (watermaker, fridge, freezer, solar panels, bimini...) In short, a dream week, great encounters and unforgettable memories!
Very good
Great cruise, heavenly spots. Low season, so few people on the different islands, for a great wind! It was like being in an aquarium: swimming among the turtles and fish, and great sightings of rays and sharks. We were able to meet some of the iconic figures of the different islands we visited.
We had a great time with Frédéric, who showed us around the islands he's been sailing for 20 years. He was a great instructor, and involved us in all the maneuvers on the boat. Frédéric is also a very good cook, so don't forget to go on a diet after the trip (Frédéric's paella is excellent, even if he didn't have all the ingredients...!) PS: don't play tarot with him, he's too lucky and will fleece you!
Snorkeling in the Tobago Cays! Turtles in every direction, colorful fish, a few rays and, above all, sharks, which we were lucky enough to observe! Dolphins also featured prominently, first off Saint Vincent and then on the way back to Martinique - enchanting!
A 12-day cruise in the Grenadines in April-May 2023 with our family and teenagers aged 12 and 16, even though we were sailing novices: a warm welcome on the boat, and the private bathroom was a real plus. The program was adapted so that we could stay longer in the places we liked. For those who didn't have sea legs, it was great to be able to laze on the magnificent beaches. A memorable cruise in a magical place.
Fred knows the area like the back of his hand, and offers sound advice. The captain's cooking is good, and everyone loves it. He also knows how to be very discreet, allowing everyone to have their own space in his boat. He's a sailor who looks out for the reef and sails with an eye to everyone's well-being. We appreciated his kindness.
The paella evening (excellent) and the evening at Romeo's where we could see stingrays at our feet ;-)
Wonderful stay, we discovered superb places! We had put the emphasis on sailing training in our request. Fred respected this wish and brought us to the beginning of our autonomy in houseboat sailing, which allowed us to rent our own sailboat. Fred was an excellent sailor, even in difficult weather conditions, and he always had our full confidence, with a good atmosphere on board and a special mention to the captain who is a very good cook. Fred was even available after our stay, for practical questions during our solo cruise. Again, a big thank you to him

Thank you to Charlotte for her kindness and her reactivity.
Fred is welcoming, funny and endearing, just like the colorful characters he allowed us to discover throughout our cruise between Martinique and the Grenadines. A parenthesis not on a cloud, but on a sailboat, postcard landscapes. We had the chance to meet dolphins playing on the bow of the boat, to see huge starfish and to snorkel on the coral reef as in an aquarium. And the highlight: swimming in weightlessness among turtles and rays in the Tobago Cays. Thank you Mother Nature, let's protect her. There was also the contemplation of the stars far from any light pollution, walking barefoot from morning to evening, never putting on pants or sweaters (except when we were hot...). And what a pleasure to always sail and sleep every night in a heavenly bay, to swim as often as possible. Not to mention the paella of the chef and the bluefin tuna, just fished by a local, just bought and cut live in the small boat come to couple, we do not miss anything on sailboat! The sailboat is as reactive to the nav as comfortable at anchor. Thanks to the duo Fred/sailboat. His very good knowledge of the place according to the wind and the waves allowed the skipper to adapt our circuit of discovery of the islands to the best of the conditions of shelter and diving. The regatta having lived in Fred since his childhood, he has pleasure to share his knowledge and his feeling. As a former math teacher, he explains the theory by putting it into practice, a plus for those who want to understand the why and the how.
Magnificent cruise along the beautiful snorkeling spots of Guadeloupe, remarkable visits: botanical gardens, forests, rivers, and hikes, rich human encounters. This cruise was a unique space of time.
Frederic is a talented skipper, communicative, warm, full of humor, listening to the wishes of his passengers, very good cook.
Frederic is a very pleasant skipper with a lot of conversation. He knows the Grenadines and Guadeloupe like the back of his hand. Forget the fuss, if you want an authentic experience, full of excitement, we strongly recommend this choice. Remarks: It is better to have a well advanced level to do a "Self Sufficiency" training on a sailboat. We advise you to have the necessary pre-requisites before embarking. With all the topics of conversation of Frederic, it is sometimes difficult to find privacy on his boat but I do not teach anything to real sailors ... Good wind!
Skippair was very responsive. Rates well aligned, even below the market. We recommend it.
Frédéric is a very experienced skipper who knows the Caribbean region inside out and has taken us to some magical places, with breaks off the beaten track.
Excellent organization with Frédéric who knows how to share his passion and made us discover the most exceptional corners of the Caribbean. Special mention for the pancake and planter evenings which particularly enchanted us. Many thanks to him!
- Encounter with sperm whales - Swim with a shark in Tobago Cays- Timeless evening in Chatham Bay
How to describe with words what is out of time, what to say about the atypical characters that Frederic has allowed us to discover. Frederic greeted us on his boat as if we were already friends. We were looking for adventure, a change of scenery, we had our fill of dreams. Thank you for this magnificent cruise where the moving encounter with turtles, 3 times dolphins and iguanas made us believe in paradise on Earth.
Cruise course organized perfectly.
Swimming with the turtles was really moving in TOBAGO CAYS and the sailboat is great to discover sailing in the middle of paradise islands. Grilled lobsters on the beach a must and meeting old fishermen and Johnny (not ours but Fred's friend) a meeting during a magical evening, thanks again Fred
We had the chance to take a cruise in the Grenadines and to do it with Frederic who knows perfectly this little corner of paradise. Frederic is a considerate person and we were charmed by the quality of his welcome, generous and always in a good mood. We have as many memories of crazy laughs as he has of jokes in his repertoire. He is always patient to answer our questions as neophytes. We confirm the other opinions on his cooking skills. When unfortunately the cruise was over we left a friend of ours
Thank you for making our cruise easier
The cruise went great. Fred took us to a little island paradise in the Grenadines. He advises well to take the right walks in the right places, for snorkeling and nice local bars! We discovered the universe of the sea and we really enjoyed sailing, swimming with the turtles, fishing a bluefin tuna from the boat, meeting the locals thanks to Fred's knowledge, we will keep exceptional memories! We came in relaxation mode for our honeymoon, we will keep only good memories of this adventure.
Fred is passionate about the sea and sailing and really immersed us in his world. We spent some great evenings on the boat and on the islands Fred is bon vivant like ourselves and our cruising neighbours! We will keep unforgettable moments Ti Punch and the planters are de rigueur, accompanied by good food as Fred is also an excellent cook!
Two unforgettable moments: 1/ swimming with the turtles in Tobago Cay s 2/ back on the boat with the dinghy under a good night shower after a good evening of laughter from the 5 of us who arrived soaked on the sailboat!
Very good cruise to the Grenadines, thank you Fred
Skippair is to be recommended
We left with Frederic with our 2 children aged 12 and 14, with a little apprehension before leaving because it was our first family cruise. We are delighted to have made this cruise, Frédéric is a very professional skipper who "masters" and we were immediately confident. He is also very welcoming, generous and a very good cook. He offered us dream destinations, avoiding crowds every time and choosing sublime places. Our children also learned the principles of navigation and had a great time tying hand knots. I recommend the cruise with Frédéric for adults but also for children, it will surely be unforgettable for all.
Charlotte de skippair was really listening to us to find us this tailor-made cruise.
A very hectic life on board, but with Frédéric the Great navigator, an excellent instructor, a fine sleuth and a very good cook (although that is not his role) 10 days of complete change of scenery and many discoveries along the islands! Thank you Fred
Many thanks to Charlotte de Skippair for her reactivity and professionalism.
