We had an incredible time. It was myself, my wife, and our two kids (age 7 and 4). We were onboard with Eymeric for 6 full days. He took really great care of us. He was very accommodating of our needs. The boat was extremely clean and well organized. We were comfortable throughout. He took us to beautiful places. Above all Eymeric is a kind, caring, and friendly skipper. A real joy to spend time.

Not having any specific ideas but not wanting to be in touristy places, he was able to offer us a special place where there was just us...
N’ayant pas d’idées précises mais ne souhaitant pas être dans les endroits touristiques, il a su nous proposer un endroit à part où il n’y avait que nous…

We left from Marie Galante, then we went to Petite Terre… incredible! We saw lots of turtles, a leopard ray and barracudas. Then we left for Saint François and on the way we saw dolphins! Then we returned to Marie Galante. I highly recommend Petite Terre!!

Great cruising area. We loved tintamare and fourchu. Check in and check out every time we change islands is a waste of time. We decided to do only 2 islands and not go to Anguilla because of that.

Charter a sailboat in the Caribbean with or without a skipper with SamBoat

The Caribbean is a region in the Americas. It has more than fifty islands that belong to diffehire countries such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, Grenada, etc. The Caribbean is a highly visited place for its beauty and great climate. The best time to visit the Caribbean is from December to May, during these months the intensity of the heat decreases and the sun's rays are not as strong. However, it is the high season, so the prices increase. We advise you to plan well your visit to anticipate your expenses.

Many travellers who have visited the Caribbean say that there is no better way to discover its wonders than onboard a boat. Charter a sailboat to explore the islands of the region or hire a catamaran in the Caribbean to relax in the Sea. Whichever option you choose, you will enjoy an unforgettable experience. On SamBoat's website, you will find several destinations that offer affordable sailboats all year round. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the Caribbean uniquely.
