From the Rivière-Sens marina in Basse-Terre, take a day trip on a sailing boat to the Les Saintes archipelago!
In a small group of no more than 9 people, this sailing trip to Les Saintes from Basse-Terre will give you an incredible day to share with your loved ones, combining the thrills of offshore sailing with relaxation during snorkelling breaks in the archipelago. Alongside a professional skipper, you will board L'inko, a comfortable racing and cruising yacht equipped with an outside saloon protected by an awning, toilets, a deck shower, etc., the perfect way to make the most of your getaway!
Departing from the Rivière-Sens marina, you will set off on a 9-hour sailing excursion to Les Saintes, a must-see destination in Guadeloupe. You will have the pleasure of discovering the archipelago from the sea, including 2 snorkelling breaks in its turquoise waters: one at Pain de Sucre, the other above a shipwreck. A delicious Creole meal will be served on board the yacht for lunch near Pain de Sucre, and your skipper will be delighted to introduce you to sailing in good conditions offshore, between Basse-Terre and Les Saintes!
