Boat hire in Martinique

Martinique is a jewel of the West Indies in the heart of the Caribbean. This island is a true paradise where the lush vegetation and many beaches embody the beauty of the French West Indies. With over 350 kilometres of coastline, the island is perfect for coastal or offshore sailing. In addition to fine sand beaches and anchorages that make postcards look dull, the island is home to charming fishing villages. A highly recognised area for sailing, the harbour of Marin, located in the southeast of the island is an ideal starting point for a sail or motor boat hire. The marina offers many services to boaters. Hire in Martinique and get to know the beautiful region. 

Hire a boat in Martinique and get ready to discover beautiful landscapes you will be able to admire from the ocean. You can take a tour of the island and discover many breathtaking landscapes and scenery between the sea and the mountain. Sailing north, you will rush into a wild and tropical environment little frequented by tourists. From Martinique, your departure for your yacht hire is Le Marin. 

Tropical jungle and deserted beaches will be welcoming you. If this isn’t what you’re looking for, you will enjoy a drier climate in the south, as well as large sand beaches, certainly heavenly yet more touristy. The Martinique island will also dazzle you with its marine and terrestrial fauna. You will have the opportunity to discover a huge variety of fish and colourful corals during your dives. Inland you can take beautiful hikes and climb Pelée Mountain, the highest point of the island standing at 1397 meters. Apparently very quiet, this mountain is still an active volcano although there has been no eruption for decades. Dedicated trails allow a safe ascent and ensure you extraordinary viewpoints.

For sailing, Martinique island offers five marinas to moor your boat: Marin harbour, François harbour, Diamond harbour, Robert harbour, and Lamentin harbour. From there, you can hire the boat that suits your needs to enjoy a day at sea, a night at the dock or several days of cruises.
