December through May is considered the dry season, while June through November is considered the more humid season. However, rain showers or clear skies can occur at any time during the year, rainstorms pass quickly and the sun shines on most days.

Yacht Charter starting Guadeloupe :
Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe is essentially made up of two islands. To the east lies Grande-Terre, famous for its white sand beaches, cane fields, and resort areas. To the west lies Basse-Terre, the larger of the two islands. Basse-Terre has a very different landscape with its renowned waterfalls, mountains, rain forest, and world-class diving.
Marie Galante
Located approximately 20 NM from Guadeloupe islands, this popular destination is known for unspoiled beaches. It is a simple place with rural traditions. There are many hiking trails in which to explore the beautiful views and history of the island. There is also excellent snorkeling and scuba diving along the barrier reef.
Iles des Saintes
This cluster of eight islands is off the beaten path. Terre-de-Haute is actually the main attraction and the most interesting. The main settlement is Le Bourge, a single street that follows the curve of the harbor. The underwater world of Les Saintes has been the host to famous divers such as Jacques Cousteau. The least qualified diver can experience the beauty of the multicolored reefs and the captivating underwater grottos. Pigeon Island is the home of the Jacques Cousteau’s marine sanctuary, and a must see for the dive addict.
