THE CARIBBEANS - MARINAS AND MOORINGS IN GRENADINES

MARTINICA
Martinique is the largest among the Windward Islands . Its french-caribbean atmosphere is unmistakeable and its cuisine is exquisite, its design fashion stores and warm people are irresistible. It is the perfect starting and ending point of your vacation. From St. Pierre, in the north, you can visit the famous volcano Mt. Pelé, which erupted last in 1902. Fort de France, the commercial center and main town of the island, is worth a visit, and Anse D’Arlet is a very pictoresque and fashionable mooring spot. The sea around the island is spectacular, attracting divers with its colorful reefs and several old shipwrecks to explore.

ST. LUCIA
This island is characterized by extinct volcanoes and active sulphurous hot springs, shrouded in dense tropical forest interdispersed with fertile cultivated lands, mainly palm and banana plantations. Sailing south of St. Lucia, you can drop anchor in Rodney Bay, inside a wide sheltered lagoon. You will have a hard time choosing amongst the many restaurants and stores and will discover Reduit Beach, perhaps the most beautiful on the island, laying just outside the lagoon. Another site not to be missed is Marigot Bay, with pure white sand and palms reflecting in the crystal clear waters.

ST. VINCENT
The capital of the Grenadines, St. Vincent and the nearby islands offers a spectacular cruising area, with stable, brisk and favourable winds, ideal for sight sailing. The Marina located on the southern point of St. Vincent provides a delightful protected mooring site, perfectly positioned as a starting point for sailing south.
