The Grenadines.... this uniquely beautiful archipelago of islands in the Caribbean is the place to be to enjoy stress-free sailing for short distances in gentle trade winds. In the Windward Islands, about 90 miles west of Barbados with arriving-same-day air service to next-door Union Island Airport, the Grenadines number some 32 islands and cays (pronounced 'keys', it means little islands) stretching south from St. Vincent to Grenada (Gren-ey-da). Only 9 of these are populated and 6 have small Airports: St Vincent, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Union, and Carriacou. The rest are bird sanctuaries and havens for those who like peace and quiet - mixed with the occasional 'jump-up'. If you don't know what that is, you soon will! Fun. |

Welcome to the Paris of the Caribbean "unmistakable French, unbelievably beautiful" This is one of our most requested trips especially with Martinique being just 25 miles north of St. Lucia France anchor in the Caribbean world, Martinique is the land of empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon. a mélange of New Orleans and Menton (French Riviera), Martinique is the Paris of the Caribbean and an island with a distinct French style. yet Martinique maintains its Caribbean Creole soul and it shows in their music, food and language. We recommend taking at least three days to explore Martinique. There is so much to see and do. This is the land of fine rum. One of the main attractions is to visit the many distilleries and museums. Hike the pelee, once a dangerous volcano now dormant. The shopping here is excellent, especially on French luxury goods such as perfumes, clothes, fine wines vuitton luggage, lalique crystal, Limoges dinnerware, etc... The French Creole cuisine is quite a treat and a great opportunity to try savory local seafood. Such delicacies include fresh Caribbean lobster, Creole conch, stuffed crab backs and boudin. Martinique is a sailing destination unto itself. You can spend an unforgettable week exploring her shores alone. Explore the coast of Martinique where snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, surfing, horseback riding and tennis can be arranged on your arrival. There is a reason this is our most requested trip. If you are looking for romance and adventure, try Martinique! Here are a few of our sample itineraries |
