Catamaran Voyage Guadeloupe
From the Marina Bas du Fort near Pointe-à-Pitre this catamaran voyage explores the finest waters of Guadeloupe and crosses to the wild neighbouring island of Dominica. Daily anchorages, plenty of time to swim and snorkel and nights at anchor in quiet bays shape the week.
Marie-Galante: known as the island of a hundred mills, with sugar cane, rum distilleries and the pale Anse Canot beach
Dominica: the green nature island, with rainforest, hot springs and the broad bay of Portsmouth
Réserve Cousteau (Pigeon Island): underwater national park, one of the best snorkelling spots in the Lesser Antilles
Les Saintes: a picturesque archipelago with Terre-de-Haut, creole cuisine and the colonial Fort Napoleon
Îlet du Gosier: a small lighthouse islet off Pointe-à-Pitre, with a lively night market on the final evening

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 fitted to a high standard 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 over the waves on the trampoline net between the hulls. 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
The catamaran 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. No mutual claims arise from route adjustments. Claims are not excluded where the route change is wilfully caused by the guest.

Region: Leeward Islands - the northern Lesser Antilles
What makes this region special
Guadeloupe is the French Caribbean - more than a political detail, for the island and its neighbours have a way of life, a cuisine and an architecture that swing back and forth between the French Antilles and provincial France. Anyone travelling here by yacht eats croissants for breakfast and Creole curry in the evening.
Guadeloupe itself has the shape of a butterfly, two island halves divided by a narrow saltwater channel. The western half, Basse-Terre, is mountainous and wet, with an active volcano (La Soufriere) and tropical rainforest. The eastern half, Grande-Terre, is flat and sunny, with sand and coral beaches. The capital is Pointe-a-Pitre; in the south-east of Grande-Terre lies Sainte-Anne with a long beach and a marina.
Off the coast lie three small island groups: Iles des Saintes with their French-Breton villages, Marie-Galante with sugar-cane fields and small rum distilleries, and La Desirade in the far east as the quietest of the three. The Iles des Saintes have the Pain de Sucre bay, a rock rising like a sugarloaf from the sea, under which you can anchor.
Pigeon Island off the west coast of Basse-Terre is a nature reserve and was once part of Jacques Cousteau's diving grounds - in his honour his bust stands here underwater. Visibility is regularly twenty metres, and the corals are partly still intact.
The water is 27 to 29 degrees warm all year round. The trade wind blows steadily from the north-east from December to April.
