Departure

Rendez-vous on the small beach of Pointe Fort at the caravan Dénébola. After a reminder of eco-actions your captain takes you by boat to the yacht. At 9.00, embarcation, safety instructions, we hoist the mainsail and cast off!

Navigation under Sail

How pleasant it is to sail pushed by the wind and comfortably seated in the spacious cockpit of Dénébola. The boat is ideal for trying out sailing in complete safety. You are at the helm, watched carefully by the skipper. Ready about !! The boat lists a little, as is normal for a single hull. Although the bay can be breezy, it is protected from the swell, and we will tack to go towards Islet Madame.

At 10.30, approaching Islet Madame , we are shown an extraordinary graduation of turquoise colors because of the coral reef which shelters a herbarium and because of the white sandbanks (fonds blanc). Swimmers will enjoy swimming to the Islet, relaxing in the warm quite shallow waters (fonds blanc) The other passengers will be set down on the landing stage by the Captain. It is also possible to explore the seabed using fins.(see nautical activities)

Lunch

A friendly lunch in the shade of verandas ,on tables arranged on Islet Madame. We have an apéritif with a view over the turquoise waters of the fonds blancs. You can choose between fruit juice, a home-made Planteur punch, a ti-punch, coco punch or coffee. You can picnic or have the meal and drinks (to order when reserving). Fully inclusive formula 100% local with produce from AN GRIYAV’LA farm. For the aperitif try vegetarian accras with drinks of your choice as shown above. 1et course: crudities are a speciality of Martinique, especially cucumber and smoked herring. Main course (hot) : Gratin de légumes pays (local vegetables cooked with breadcrumbs and grated cheese),rice, browned chicken marinated in old rum.

Direction the iguanas of Islet Chancel

We cross the bay under sail to anchor at Islet Chancel where live the friendly iguanas peculiar to the Lesser West Indies. We discover the ruins of an ancient pottery and a lime kiln dating from the late 17th century.
Islet Chancel has a very special vegetation which seems to « whisper » the history of Martinique when the sugar-refining activity flourished.

Sailing back

We wind up the anchor, set the sails and return calmly running before the wind. Early evening colors illuminate the Islet à Eau, Isletaux Rats, and Islet Petite Martinique. While sailing we have a snack. The more curious among us can consult the information brochures on marine life, corals, sponges, fish, illustrated with beautiful photos.
