Itinerary of your cruise
Our professional crew will take you in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus. You will discover exotic landscapes, colourful islands and a relaxing Creole atmosphere
DAY 1 : Anse Marcel (Saint-Martin)
Meet at 6 pm in the Lonvilliers marina (located at the end of Anse Marcel) for your boarding. You will meet the crew and your fellow passengers over a welcome cocktail. The skipper will take this opportunity to inform you about the course of the trip, the stopovers and the safety regulations. Dinner and overnight on the boat in Anse Marcel.
DAY 2 : Tintamarre – Ile Fourche (about 4 hours sailing)
After breakfast, you sail to Tintamarre. This 100-hectare island, now uninhabited, is located northeast of St. Martin and part of its Nature Reserve. The many footpaths that cross it will lead you to an old 19th-century cotton plantation, a railway, and even an airfield. Afterwards, you will head for Île Fourchue (also called Ile Fourche). Its sheltered bay will allow you to wear flippers, masks and snorkel to explore the seabed and swim with magnificent coloured fish. Turtles are also very present near the shore. You can take a pleasant walk along the cliffs and enjoy the view of St Barths.
DAY 3: Ile Fourche – Gustavia (St Barth) (approx. 1 hour’s sailing)
You set sail for the island of Saint Barthélemy, discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and named in honour of his brother. You’ll stop off in Gustavia (the island’s capital) for the day. Start by strolling around the harbour before heading to Fort Karl and then the Gustavia lighthouse. If you wish, you can also hire bikes and explore the island at your own pace. Dinner and overnight stay on board.
DAY 4: Gustavia (St Barth) – Anse de Colombier (approx. 30 mins by boat)
This morning, you’ll weigh anchor and continue exploring the beautiful island of Saint-Barth. Today you’ll drop anchor at the western tip of the island, in Anse de Colombier. It’s the perfect spot to relax in complete tranquillity and enjoy the white sandy beach. The cove is also particularly well-suited to snorkelling. It's crystal-clear waters allow you to observe numerous species of fish, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot some turtles. And why not round off the day with a stroll to the top of a small hill to admire the view? Overnight at anchor.
DAY 5: Anse de Colombier – Baie Longue, Saint Martin – Rendez-Vous Bay, Anguilla (approx. 5 hours’ sailing)
After breakfast, you’ll set sail for Saint Martin, heading in particular for Baie Longue beach on the island’s west coast, famous for its fine sand, calm waters and peaceful atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of the livelier beaches. The skipper hoists the sails in the afternoon to explore Anguilla, starting with Rendez-Vous Bay, renowned as one of the island’s most beautiful anchorages. Dinner and overnight stay on board.
DAY 6: Rendez-Vous Bay – Prickly Pear – Crocus Bay (approx. 3½ hours’ sailing)
After breakfast, head to Prickly Pear, where you’ll have the chance to explore the coral reefs, spot parrotfish and, with a bit of luck, turtles. You can also go kayaking along the unspoilt coastline. Then set sail for Crocus Bay to enjoy another anchorage in Anguilla. Overnight at anchor.
DAY 7: Crocus Bay – Friar’s Bay – Rocher Créole – Grand Case (St Martin) (approx. 3½ hours’ sailing)
You’ll set sail back towards Saint Martin and arrive at Friar’s Bay by late morning, where you can stroll along the beach and take a dip from the boat. After lunch, you’ll head to the island’s nature reserve and stop off at Rocher Créole. This incredible, easily accessible and protected diving spot is sure to delight visitors. You’ll head to Grand Case for the night. This village, considered the gastronomic capital of the Caribbean, is dotted with small, traditional, colourful houses.
JOUR 8 : Grand Case - Anse Marcel (approx. 30 mins by boat)
Final leg of the journey to Lonvilliers Marina. You are scheduled to disembark after breakfast, around 10 a.m.

Dreamlike from a to z

This trip was worth every penny. It was a thoroughly successful experience. From the first contact at the office in the harbor and the briefing on board, it was clear that professionals were at work who wanted to offer something to their guests. The boat (Bali 54) was 6 years old but in impeccable condition. Our cabin was very clean, and the common areas were as well. Our skipper was the epitome of calm and knew what he was doing. Every evening, he presented the program for the following day and was open to the passengers' wishes. Our cook served something special at every meal. It was delicious, varied, appealing, and oriented towards the regional cuisine. All passengers graciously declined the two options to eat on land, which says it all. The area was also great - it was the Caribbean after all. The eastern bays infested with seagrass were easy to navigate around. Snorkeling, swimming, paddling, and short hikes were part of the daily enjoyment.

The boat was okay, comfortable and spacious, but if it had been at full capacity with 12 people, life on board would have been much less comfortable. The itinerary was varied with short sailing segments. Scenery was below expectations. Onboard service was excellent for the kitchen, but less so for cleaning.

Wonderful catamaran experience in st. barth

We had a great time on board, our captain skillfully navigated us through waves up to 3 meters, and the anchorages and overnight spots in the stunning bays were overwhelming. There were also plenty of sea creatures to see. The chef cooked excellently for us, and we had a fantastic group of French, Swiss, and Italian guests on board. You have to get used to the small cabins, but that's probably unavoidable on such a catamaran. The only thing I could criticize is that your website mentions grilled lobster as a highlight, which unfortunately was not the case for us. Once again, a huge thank you to the crew who fulfilled every wish we had.

Superb cruise

We had a dream cruise. Excellent welcome at the agency both upon arrival and departure. The captain and the hostess are highly recommended for their professionalism as well as their kindness and human qualities. They accompanied the passengers with their constant good humor, their explanations about the route, the beautiful discovery of the spots, and suggestions for activities. The boat was very comfortable. The absence of wifi was beneficial for our tranquility... On board, we were lucky to have an excellent chef with outstanding and well-balanced meals. My only regret is having to return at 9 am on Saturday morning instead of late morning or early afternoon. The base at Ance Marcel is very nice; we were able to spend the last day on the beach while waiting to go to the airport. The agency kindly allowed us to use the showers at the port before leaving. Thank you to the GlobeSailor team for organizing this wonderful experience.

Fantastic boat, great new friends, great hostess, almost perfect.
Matthew

I have to go with four stars on this for two reasons:
1. The interior description of the cabin did not convey just how small it was. Still awesome though.
2. The captain was not very engaged.
Other than that it was an amazing experience and totally worth it. Would absolutley book again.
I will say, and this is NO fault of the boat crew or the booking companies, the amount of dead coral and sea life was really a bummer so that alone would prevent a repeat visit to this area for us.

Unforgettable catamaran week around st. martin & st. barth

As a couple

We booked a cabin on a catamaran (type Ipanema 58), with space for 12 guests (in 6 double cabins) and 2 crew members. There were only ten of us, twelve would have been a bit cramped (e.g., at the dining table).
The trip started on Saturday in the north of St. Martin (Anse Marcel) and took us to various bays and beaches up to St. Barth, where the only real landing was in Gustavia. So, we spent almost the entire week on the sea - wonderful! We anchored in places that are hardly accessible without a boat.
The crew consists of a skipper and a cook, who also take care of everything else; you don't have to worry about the "household" and the sailboat.
We ate outdoors three times a day, and the cooking was truly excellent. Non-alcoholic drinks, rum drinks, and wine are included in any desired quantity; other drinks (e.g., beer) can be purchased and stored in the cooler.
It was never boring: sailing, reading, snorkeling, swimming, beach walks, conversations with other passengers, etc. Everything is voluntary, and there are no schedules. There is always enough space, even in the shade. In the water, you can see sea turtles, various stingrays, small sharks, reef fish, cuttlefish, starfish, lobsters, barracudas, etc. With a bit of luck, you might also see whales and dolphins. Snorkeling gear is available.
The cabins are spacious enough: a large double bed with storage space on both sides, storage for clothes (a small closet, 2 large drawers), a small shower, toilet, and sink. Everything is bright and has sufficient fresh air. By the way, there are no mosquitoes. You can leave your shoes at home; flip-flops for the beach and maybe sneakers for a land excursion are enough. Otherwise, barefoot!
We are still thrilled - sooooo much better than the days before and after on land in a hotel! Of course, you should be lucky with the people on board - we had a perfect match (French, Americans, Germans, and Swiss), and everyone had a lot of fun. Eric & Marie as the crew were unbeatable.
Anytime again!

Crew members are multilingual and qualified to offer multilingual service.
Is there a minimum age required to embark on this cruise?
For comfort and safety reasons, the minimum age required to embark on this cruise is 6 years old. We also recommend that children know how to swim or are familiar with water. If your children are younger, our team is at your disposal to help you find a more suitable cruise.
How is my transfer from the airport to the boat organized?
The transfer can be arranged by your GlobeSailor advisor and the base manager by taxi or minibus. Payment for this service is generally to be made to GlobeSailor at the time of payment of the balance or directly on site in cash. Don't forget to forward your arrival times to your advisor.
What does the skipper do? And the hostess?
All the skippers we offer are registered and hold the necessary professional certificates. They speak fluent English. If you have any special requirements regarding the skipper, please let us know. The skipper is responsible for navigation and your safety on board. Feel free to participate with him in the manoeuvres, he will be happy to teach you the basics of navigation. Concerning the organisation, the skipper sleeps on the boat, either in a separate cabin or in the saloon. The skipper is not in charge of cooking or washing dishes. On request, a hostess (or cook) can prepare your meals, clean the saloon, clean your cabins and more generally ensure that the boat is in good order. all our cabin cruises include the services, at a minimum, of a skipper and a hostess (unless otherwise specified in the contract)
Does the boat operate only with the sails?
It depends on the weather. When the winds are strong, the skipper will use the sails to sail silently. On days with calmer winds or to reach the stopovers on schedule, the skipper may need to use the engine. The engine is also used when entering and leaving the marinas. We cannot guarantee a minimum time of using the sails. The skipper will do their best to use the sails as much as possible and involve passengers in manoeuvres.
How are meals organized on the boat?
Most of our cabin cruises include full board and the services of a hostess - cook. Alcoholic beverages are sometimes extra. Check the terms and conditions of your quotation carefully. On request, your advisor can send you the menus proposed on board. They are often prepared with fresh and local products. Please inform us as soon as possible if you are allergic to any food or if you are on a special diet.
Are the menus adapted to special dietary requirements?
We strive to offer the best possible services on our cruises and providing special dietary options are part of this. Please inform your charter advisor of any dietary restrictions or requirements well in advance of the cruise, so that the crew may be informed and make the necessary adaptations to the menus provided.
Please note that the preparation of adapted menus adds a certain level of complexity for our hostesses/cooks, who will prepare meals for 12 guests on board. Sourcing good quality substitute products also incurs additional costs. It is therefore necessary for us to charge a supplement, in order to guarantee that all our guests on board receive the same level of quality service.
Can I bring alcohol on board?
No passengers are allowed to bring bottles of alcohol on board.
What payments must I make in order to confirm my booking?
To confirm your booking you should inform your GlobeSailor advisor who will put an option (hold) on the cabin for a certain time until we receive your down payment.

The balance should be paid no later than one month before boarding.
What happens if I need to cancel my cruise?
