Antigua to Dominica Cabin Cruise via Guadeloupe and the Saintes: 10 Nights One Way

This one way sailing cruise links Antigua to Dominica through the French Caribbean in ten nights, crossing Guadeloupe, the Iles des Saintes and Marie-Galante before ending in Dominica. It is a true island hopping route, and it can also be sailed in the opposite direction, from Dominica to Antigua.

Most days combine a comfortable sail with time at anchor, so there is room to swim, snorkel and explore ashore without rushing. The skipper adapts passages and timing to weather, sea state and the clearance formalities between the islands.

Expect the green mountains and sheltered bays of Guadeloupe's west coast, the beaches and clear water of Les Saintes, the long sandy shores of Marie-Galante and the wild volcanic coast of Dominica.

Ashore there are fishing villages, creole kitchens, sugar cane fields and rum on Marie-Galante and the French island atmosphere of Les Saintes, before the last stretch brings you to Dominica, the Nature Island, to discover its inland wonders.

Life on board is active and relaxed. Guests are welcome to take part in the sailing and learn along the way, while skipper and crew look after the boat and the meals, with water, soft drinks and a set quantity of wine and beer included.
