|  |  |  |  |  |  | Martinique is the largest island in the Windwards Islands. It has a french Caribbean ambiance with an excellent cuisine, designer shopping and friendly people. It’s the perfect island from which to start your yacht charter. From St. Pierre in the North West visit the famous volcano of Mount Pele which last erupted in 1902. Fort de France, the island's commercial centre and principal city is well worth a visit, while Anse d'Arlet is a popular, photogenic anchorage.
Martinique has many facets that are very distinct. The north has lush foliage, rivers and spectacular mountains, with Mont. Pele being its highest point. The south end of the island is blessed with the white sand beaches backed by palms and sea grapes.
Diving :
The water surrounding the island is filled with a wonderful diversity of marine life, including coral and has a variety of old shipwrecks for diving enthusiasts to discover. Lots of diving centers around the Islands.
Strong points :
Martinique is one of the largest islands of the Lesser Antilles. Along with the largest coral reef windward, it abounds in highly protected, rarely visited bays and coves . Not unlike the neighbouring islands of Dominica, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent, Martinique’s tropical forests are perfect for excursions. It is also the gateway to the resplendent Grenadines and Venezuela.
Provisioning in Martinique is great. Giant supermarkets offer an array of produce, both local and European. Fresh fruits and vegetables, wonderful cheeses, pates, meat and seafood are enough of an attraction that many charter yachts provision here as opposed to another island.
Yacht Charter in Martinique: Marina & starting point :
Le Marin just a short ride from the airport is the heart of Martinique’s yacht charter industry, set at the end of a beautiful lagoon. Le Marin boasts all the facilities you could wish for: well-stocked chandleries, a supermarket for provisions and a variety of restaurants. You will find excellent French Creole cuisines throughout Martinique. Seafood includes fresh local crab, lobster and Conch, a large shellfish served from a barbecue or cooked in a delicious spicy sauce. Martinique rum is well known in the Caribbean and strongly recommended as the sun goes down - though beware - it is much more potent than its flavour suggests! The immense bay is well protected and considered to be the best hurricane hole in Martinique.
