Experience the Caribbean differently, boat rental in Martinique
Renting a boat is the ideal solution to get off the beaten track and classic stays in Martinique.

Each catamaran offers a different capacity ranging from 3 double cabins to 6 or more.

Dream itineraries, starting from Le Marin
Martinique is an ideal starting point for exploring the Caribbean arc. Located in the heart of the Lesser Antilles, it opens up a wide range of sailing, accessible in just a few hours. Here are some examples of cruises from Martinique:
- Heading for St. Lucia and the Grenadines: In a few hours of sailing, discover the famous Pitons of St. Lucia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, then marvel at the turquoise lagoons of the Tobago Cays. Explore the exceptional seabed around Union Island, enjoy the laid-back vibe of Bequia with its authentic fishing villages, and discover the secret anchorages of Mayreau. A cruise that will make you experience the spirit of the Caribbean in all its splendour.
- Coastal cruise around Martinique : For a smoother sailing, sail along the Martinique coast, which is full of treasures. From the paradisiacal south of Sainte-Anne to the wild coves of the northern Caribbean, via the white bottoms of the François and its preserved islets, each stopover is a living postcard. Stop in the bay of Saint-Pierre, dominated by Mount Pelée, discover the snorkeling spots around the Diamond Rock, and enjoy the crystal clear waters of Anses d'Arlet for a unique experience.
- Tailor-made itineraries to Dominica or Guadeloupe : If you have more time, head out to the nearby islands for a complete adventure. Dominica, nicknamed "the nature island", will seduce you with its lush wildlife, spectacular waterfalls, hot springs and unspoiled nature reserve. In Guadeloupe, alternate between water sports in the Grand Cul-de-sac marin, discovery of varieties of tropical plants, and authentic encounters with the local populations... another facet of the Caribbean is offered to you, between land and sea.
The Baie du Robert and its must-see islets
Halfway between Le Marin and the northern Atlantic coast of Martinique, the bay of Robert is one of the most popular destinations for boaters. Its emerald-colored shallow waters, sandy shoals and numerous islets make it an exceptional playground for a stopover on a cruise. This village is often evoked by boaters as one of the most beautiful memories of their stay at sea.
The islet Madame and the islet Chancel, two exceptional stopovers : Among the flagship stopovers of this bay, these two islets alone concentrate a large part of the magic of Martinique. The first, with its characteristic white bottoms, is the perfect place to anchor the boat and go down to swim in translucent water that barely rises to the waist. The latter is known for being home to a colony of land iguanas, a unique experience of discovery, especially for children. Between sunbathing on deck and diving on the surface with snorkels above the corals, this stage in the bay remains unforgettable.
It can be reached in about an hour from the marina. It is therefore an essential stopover during a week-long coastal cruise around Martinique. The RentSailBoat team recommends this destination to all its customers who are sailing for the first time in the waters of the island of flowers.
What season should I choose to rent a boat in Martinique?
Martinique enjoys a pleasant tropical climate throughout the year, making it an ideal destination for sailing in all seasons. Nevertheless, some periods are more favourable than others depending on your expectations, your budget and your tolerance for the swell.
High season: from December to April, the trade winds are at their best
The high season runs from December to April. This is the most popular time to rent a boat in Martinique : the trade winds allow you to sail by boat in excellent conditions, rainfall is rare, and the sea is generally mild. These months are particularly popular with families taking advantage of the school holidays and couples looking for a winter getaway away from the European frost. It is strongly recommended to book your boat several weeks or even months in advance for these periods of high demand.
Low season: June and November, attractive rates and Martinique without crowds
This off-peak period, which runs from about mid-year to November, corresponds to the rainy season and the peak of cyclone activity in the Caribbean. However, this does not mean that the sea is inaccessible: sunny days are still plentiful, and showers are often brief. In particular, these two months offer good weather windows and much more attractive rental rates. The optimal choice for flexible travelers wishing to enjoy a cruise in Martinique at the best value for money, away from the tourist crowds.
