Yacht Charters Martinique

Martinique—St. Lucia's overlooked sister island—is a captivating Caribbean combination of deep rainforest, rocky cliffside terrain, white-sand beaches and the calmest, clearest waters you'll ever lay eyes on. Add to that its French and Creole influences, and it's easy to see why Martinique boasts a charm that sits near to the heart.

Spend your days lounging on the deck of your private yacht and take in the stunning views of the Caribbean coastline as you sail from port to port. With crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches, a yacht charter in Martinique is the perfect way to experience all this captivating island has to offer.

Beneath the surface, you'll find an island bustling with activity—from world-renowned scuba diving and snorkelling to championship golfing and hiking. For those who prefer to stay on dry land, there's no shortage of shopping, dining and nightlife options to keep you busy.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

Martinique enjoys year-round sunshine, with average temperatures of 28°C. The trade winds pick up from December to April, making this the ideal time of year for sailing.

The island is also popular with cruisers and charter guests during the hurricane season, from June to November. However, we recommend the "winter" months - November to February - when the chances of a storm are low, and the sailing conditions are nothing short of excellent.

Martinique also boasts many great events during this season, including the Martinique Yacht Show, the Carnaval International de Martinique and the Festival Musique et Nature.

The Martinique Yacht Show is one of the most popular yachting events in the Caribbean and takes place every year in early December. This event attracts some of the world's most prestigious yacht owners and charter guests, as well as top international yacht brokers and charter companies.

The Carnaval International de Martinique is one of the most popular cultural events on the island and takes place every year in February. This event celebrates the island's African and Creole heritage with a parade of colourful costumes, music and dance.

The Festival Musique et Nature is an annual event that takes place in February and celebrates the island's nature and wildlife. This event features a variety of musical performances, as well as talks and walks through the island's rainforest.
