Guadeloupe Catamaran Cruise

Vessel

Bali 5.4

Comfort and generous space combined with excellent sailing characteristics without heeling. Aboard this spacious catamaran you will find room and privacy not only in the double cabins with private bathroom. Saloon and cockpit merge into a generous open-air saloon. Favourite spots are the sun loungers on the flybridge and the airy cockpit with benches and sun loungers on the foredeck. A bimini provides shade from the sun. The Bali 5.4 combines Catana's typically purist design with outstanding sailing qualities. The model was awarded Multihull of the Year at her market launch in 2019. She is well equipped with watermaker and generator.

A relaxed yacht holiday

Simply enjoy. Plenty of room on the flybridge, in the cockpit, on the trampoline nets and in the saloon. Cabins with private bathroom, partially air-conditioned.

Atmosphere aboard

You and your fellow guests will share a relaxed time together. The professional crew (skipper and cook/deckhand) look after the well-being and safety of all guests. You are a guest and are here to unwind – you are not expected to help out actively. The aim: a relaxed time with lovely memories. She is typically underway for two to four hours a day.

Activities

• Swimming from the bathing platform at the anchor stops
• Organised shore excursions or going ashore on your own
• Watersports: kayaks or SUP, snorkelling
• Relaxing aboard during the passage to the next anchorage
• Time on the beach

The adventure of a sea voyage

Glide across the waves on the foredeck nets. On this cruise aboard a sailing catamaran there is no guarantee that she will be under sail – in unfavourable winds she will also proceed under engine.

Simply arrive and unwind.

Cabins

Modern, light-filled cabins aboard the Bali 5.4

She offers 6 cabins for 12 guests. Each cabin has a private bathroom with shower and WC. Standard cabins are located amidships in the hulls. The Superior Cabins are positioned forward or aft in the hull, are slightly larger and brighter.

Route

The markers show possible anchorages. The skipper selects the specific places on site, depending on current conditions. Route, stops and order may change at the skipper's discretion.

How your route could unfold:

1. Day 1

   Pointe-à-Pitre - Marie-Galante

   Embarkation at the Marina Bas du Fort in Pointe-à-Pitre. We make for Anse Canot on Marie-Galante - the "island of a hundred mills", once the heart of sugarcane production. First night at anchor.

2. Day 2

   Marie-Galante - Dominica (Portsmouth)

   Breakfast, watersports from the vessel (pedalo, kayak, snorkelling). Lunch aboard, then the crossing to Dominica. Anchor in the broad bay of Portsmouth.

3. Day 3

   Dominica

   The crew handle the customs and entry formalities. Dominica is not called the "Nature Island" without reason - the densest rainforest in the Caribbean, waterfalls, volcanic lakes and more than 360 rivers. A day to explore ashore or unwind aboard. Overnight at anchor.

4. Day 4

   Dominica - Îlet Pigeon (Cousteau Reserve)

   A long day underway back to Guadeloupe. We anchor in the Cousteau Reserve opposite Îlet Pigeon - one of the finest snorkelling and diving grounds in the eastern Caribbean, with coral gardens and tropical fish right alongside the vessel.

5. Day 5

   Îlet Pigeon - Les Saintes

   Breakfast and relaxation, watersports from the vessel, optionally a dive with local clubs. Lunch, then the crossing to the Les Saintes archipelago - eight small islands off the southern shore of Guadeloupe. Anchor off the town of Terre-de-Haut or one of the neighbouring bays.

6. Day 6

   Les Saintes

   Breakfast in front of the spectacular backdrop. The morning to explore the pastel-coloured houses around the harbour and the historic Fort Napoleon. The afternoon for snorkelling, the beach and watersports. Overnight at anchor.

7. Day 7

   Les Saintes - Pain de Sucre - Îlet du Gosier

   A short hop to Pain de Sucre, a snorkelling spot with clear water at the foot of the rock. Lunch aboard, then on to Îlet du Gosier - a tiny island with a lighthouse off the southern coast of Grande-Terre. Not to be missed: the local night market on the mainland, with creole cuisine and music.

8. Day 8

   Îlet du Gosier - Pointe-à-Pitre

   Early breakfast, the final passage to the Marina Bas du Fort, disembarkation.
