LAGOON 55 | THE MOON

Check-in available in the afternoon at the Charter offices in the Embarkation Marina. After finishing the quick procedures of taking over the boat (technical check-in) and boarding the galley, you can enjoy an aperitif and dinner near the Marina or alternatively set sail immediately and enjoy the first sailing.

Finally we set sail to navigate towards the south coast of the Butterfly island with some stops along the unmissable and marvelous beaches: we navigate in  the Natural Reservation of Grand Cul-de-sac Marin, characterized by rainy forest with little sand islets and more than ten nautical miles of coral reefs; we will discover islets inside the Reservation. Snorkeling lovers will have the opportunity to enjoy amazing crystal clear water swimming side by side with turtles, dolphins and whales. We drop the anchor on the bay and during the night you could have a walk on the beautiful island, before having a delicious dinner under a Caribbean starry night...

After breakfast we lift the anchor and set the sails guided by the trade wind towards south-east, in particular to Marie-Galante island; here we have a swim and an unforgettable snorkeling in the uncontaminated sea bottoms before the lunch! Known as the "Hundred mills island", it is famous for the sugar cane plantations! Between one swim and another, during the night you will have the opportunity to visit Grand Boug, the capital city of the islands and a typical Caribbean town. 

Leaving Grand Bourg, we continue sailing discovering the beautiful beaches all around the island, enjoying a relaxing day in Vieux Fort and Anse Canot, discovering heavenly landscapes in Caya Plate and Capesterre and finally reaching Saint Louis, a little hamlet guided by the Caribbean rhythm... 

We set sail to east towards the Les Saintes islands, one of the most marvelous and unforgettable corner in the Caribbean Sea: a group of eleven islands, the biggest two are Terre-de-Haut and Terre-de-Bas. Time to explore, swims and relax through Anse du Bourg bay and the beautiful beaches in Pompierre and Pain de Sucre. There will be the opportunity to visit the Napoleon Fortress in the Northeast extremity in Terre de Haut and discover amazing hamlet characterized by church made of volcano's stone...

Navigating along this area, we direct to Terre-de-Bas, where we reach the marvelous Grande-Anse beach, characterized by wild beauty and white sand, before mooring near le Petites Antes, famous for the stone houses and the St. Nicola church. 

Today we lift sails towards north-east, to the La Desiderade Island and the Natural Reservation, one of the most intact islands full of uncontaminated nature everywhere. There will be the opportunity to visit the land and walk around iguanas and enjoy the landscapes made by high cliffs, or ride a bike along the 11 kilometers of the island. During the afternoon, we set sail to the fishermen's hamlet of Beauséjour, the Petite-Riviere Reservation, a unspoiled coral atoll ideal for snorkeling and long swims: using the speedy dinghy you will visit the ancient ruins of the old cotton mill. Return to port is scheduled for late afternoon.
