Yachtcharter Itinerary from Guadeloupe
1 Week sailing round Guadeloupe with VPM Yacht-charter:
this trip is designed for relaxing with only short sailing trips in between beautiful and protected anchorages.
1st day: Blue Lagoon
Arrival at the charter base in the Blue Lagoon, check in to the yacht.
Until the early evening there is the possibility to head 3NM east to the “Ilet du Gosier”, a little sandy island full of vegetation which is surrounded by a large coral reef. Ashore on the main island there are numerous Restaurants and Bars to spend a well-deserved first night with creole food and music.
2nd day: Marie Galante / St Louis (Grand Bourg)
Heading 19NM east towards “Marie Galante” this is one of the toughest sails for this week as the prevailing ESE winds will force you to tack your way up to the little fishing village named St Louis or if preferred to Grand Bourg the “largest” village on Marie Galante.
