Guadeloupe Charter Yachts and Sailing Vacations

Guadeloupe - an archipelago of Leeward Caribbean islands, largely undeveloped and brimming with natural beauty - consists of the twin islands Basse-Terre to the west and Grand Terre to the east, along with several other smaller islands including Les Saintes. Basse-Terre is a thickly forested mountainous island of volcanic origin. Grand-Terre is a limestone island of coral origin with low hills rising to 150 meters and extending through the central and southern part of the island. Most of the islands are protected as world heritage sites. The archipelago offers a mix of modern cities, rural towns, rainforests and secluded beaches, as well as rum production, which tends to blend well with any Caribbean charter. 

Guadeloupe was once a French colony and is still considered to be a part of France. This French Caribbean mixture offers the height of the Caribbean's Creole culture - a blend of French and African influences with a bit of spice! Expect to indulge in some of the finest combination of Creole Octopus, rum cake and planteur antillais - Guadeloupe's signature cocktail. 

Direct flights to this French-inspired Caribbean paradise are available from Paris, New York, Antigua or the Netherlands. Guadeloupe is more accessible than ever. Guadeloupe offers excellent line-of-site and offshore sailing as well as spectacular diving (including the Cousteau Underwater Park), marine life, waterfalls, cliffs and amazing scenery. It offers something for everyone, whether a family holiday or honeymoon, for hiking or swimming, Guadeloupe is for both relaxation and exploration! The dive sites in Guadeloupe are considered as being some of the best dive sites on the globe. There are also hot springs, natural and mud baths if you want a natural spa experience and silky soft skin!
