The Route
Marigot
7 nights
Pointe-à-Pitre
-
Marigot · Embarkation
Marigot is the capital of the French side of St. Martin. Caribbean market stalls, French bakeries and the ruins of Fort Louis above the harbour combine Gallic style with tropical atmosphere.
-
Prickley Pear Cays
Prickly Pear Cays off Anguilla consist of two uninhabited small islands. The white sandy beaches, snorkelling on the coral reef and a Caribbean beach bar (only reachable by boat) make them the perfect day trip.
-
Gustavia (St. Barth)
Gustavia is the capital of Saint-Barthélemy and is regarded as the "Côte d'Azur of the Caribbean". The small natural harbour, surrounded by international boutiques, gourmet restaurants and elegant yachts, blends relaxed island feel with European refinement.
-
Charlestown, Nevis
Charlestown is the capital of the island of Nevis and the birthplace of US Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Colonial stone architecture, Pinney's Beach and the hot springs at the foot of Nevis Peak shape the island.
-
Falmouth Bay (Antigua)
Off the southern coast of Antigua in the eastern Caribbean lies the sheltered Falmouth Bay, one of the region's most renowned yachting grounds. Each April, it hosts Antigua Sailing Week, a leading classic yacht regatta worldwide, next to historic Nelson's Dockyard.
-
Barbuda
Barbuda is the sparsely populated sister island of Antigua. Pink Sand Beach - one of the longest pink-sand beaches in the world - and the Frigatebird Sanctuary with more than 5,000 nesting frigatebirds make Barbuda unmistakable.
-
Les Saintes
Small archipelago south of Guadeloupe in the French Antilles arc of the Caribbean, with Terre-de-Haut as its main settlement. The sheltered bay ranks among the world's most beautiful natural harbours and recalls Brittany with its white houses.

Destination
Le Ponant
Le Ponant is the essence of the Ponant idea: a three-masted sailing yacht for 64 guests, gliding under sail through waters closed to motorised ships. French cuisine, 32 crew, an atmosphere like a private yacht.
In the Caribbean, Le Ponant sails through the Grenadines and the Lesser Antilles - with the elegance of a French yacht and the spirit of a sailing ship.
