    Belle découverte

    Nous avons passé un séjour qui restera marqué dans nos mémoires ! le professionnalisme et la gentillesse de l'équipage nous ont accompagnés tout au long de la découverte des îles de Guadeloupe. Dauphins, baleines et tortues, poissons multicolores, couchers et levers de soleil somptueux. Catamaran spacieux, cabines suffisamment confortables (toilettes privatives), beaucoup de petits rangements très pratiques. Et un cuistot qui nous a concocté des petits plats à se lécher les babines. Tout cela dans un grand sentiment de sécurité grâce à la compétence du capitaine.

    Croisiere en guadeloupe extra

    Vraiment une expérience superbe, location à la cabine pour visiter les iles de la Guadeloupe, L'accompagnement dans la préparation de notre voyage par l’équipe globe sailor à été parfaite à tout les niveaux, La croisière en elle même à été également parfaite, le duo skippeur/hôtesse ont été extraordinaire et à nos petits soins +++. Un concept de voyage nouveau pour nous, mais nous reviendrons.

    Tutto molto bene. E ' un'esperienza che rifarei con Globe Sailor ma...

    Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto della crociera e delle persone dell'equipaggio. Capisco che siamo in territorio Francese , ma con 30 gradi tutte quelle salse, oltre a richiedere molto tempo nel prepararle,non risultano un cibo fresco e facilmente digeribile sulla barca. Insalate , frutta e devo purtroppo dirlo il pesce fresco ,che dovrebbero essere non dico quotidiani, non si sono visti. Per quanto riguardo le spiagge, con la barca si dovrebbero ricercare luoghi come Grand Bourg, vicinissimo alle spiagge conosciutissime ma con tutto un'altro fascino.

    Catamarano, vacanza fantastica

    Esperienza molto positiva. Prima crociera in catamarano, sicuramente ne farò altre, ma l'arcipelago della Guadeloupe mi ha un po' deluso, isole grandi, con escursioni da crociera classica. Prossima crociera.... Grenadines

Frequently asked questions

  • What are the necessary documents for a trip to Guadeloupe? In Dominica?

    Before your departure for your cruise to Dominica, French, Belgian, Swiss and Canadian citizens must be in possession of a valid passport and a return ticket. The authorized stay is then 30 days.
  • What are the recommended vaccinations for travel to the West Indies?

    For a trip to the West Indies, no vaccination is compulsory for your stay. However, we advise you to pay attention to different things like :

    The Zika Virus
    Due to the presence of the Zika virus transmitted by tiger mosquito bites, it is recommended that pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant postpone their stay or protect themselves against mosquito bites. Symptoms include fever, headache, joint pain and skin rashes.

    Dengue fever
    The main health concern is the resurgence of dengue fever cases throughout the Caribbean region. This disease transmitted by mosquitoes presents first symptoms similar to those of a big flu (fever exceeding 40°C), before degenerating: nausea, vomiting, dehydration, even skin rashes... There is a potentially fatal - but fortunately rare - form of haemorrhage.

    Chikungunya
    This mosquito-borne viral disease appeared in the West Indies in 2014. Symptoms are similar to those of the flu with the addition of joint pain which can be severe. As with dengue fever and Zika, there is no vaccine or effective treatment. It is therefore necessary to protect oneself as much as possible from mosquitoes. Fortunately, severe forms are extremely rare. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

    Protecting yourself against mosquito bites
    There is no vaccine or treatment for these diseases; only the symptoms are treated. It is therefore necessary to protect oneself as much as possible from bites.
    Wear long, covering clothes, especially in the forest, where you will wear long pants and long sleeves, especially in the morning and evening. Avoid dark fabrics. Do not wear perfume. On the repellent side, there are now organic repellents available, which are less harmful than those containing DEET. At night, use a mosquito net whenever possible: it is one of the most effective protections.
  • Is everyone on board English-speaking?

    Please note that this cruise is not exclusive to English travelers. It is quite common to meet people of various nationalities on board as we offer cruises to international clientele - encouraging curious and enriching exchanges for both passengers and crew.
    Crew members are multilingual and qualified to offer multilingual service.
  • How does a cruise with Skipper work? And a hostess?

    All the skippers we propose are registered and have the necessary professional certificates. They speak English fluently. If you have any special requirements regarding the skipper, please let us know. The skipper is in charge of the navigation and your safety on board. Do not hesitate to take part in the manoeuvres with him, he will be happy to teach you the basics of navigation. Concerning the organization, 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 up. On request, a hostess (or cook) can prepare your meals, clean the saloon, your cabins and more generally ensure the good order of the boat. All our cabin cruises include the services, at least, of a skipper and a hostess (unless otherwise specified in the contract).
  • 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.
  • How is my transfer from the airport to the boat organised?

    The transfer can be arranged by your GlobeSailor consultant and the base chief by taxi or minibus. Payment for this service is usually made to GlobeSailor at the time of the balance payment or directly on site in cash. Don't forget to send your arrival times to your consultant.
  • How are meals organised on board the boat?

    This cabin cruise includes an All Inclusive pension and the services of a hostess-cook. Please check the terms and conditions of your quotation. Your consultant will be able to send you the menus proposed on board on request. They are often prepared using fresh, local produce. Please inform us as soon as possible if you are allergic to certain foods or follow a special diet.
  • What does the excursion package include?


    We offer you a package of 4 excursions that will allow you to learn more about the destination.

    Day 2: Marie Galante (about 3 hours)

    DAY 2: Dominica
    On Sunday evening, enjoy a delicious barbecue on Portsmouth beach for dinner. This one is organised in honour of passing boaters by the island's boat men's association.

    Please note..:
    - This pack is not included in the price of your cruise.
    - The excursions cannot be dissociated from each other.
    - A minimum of 5 participants is required to take part in these excursions.
    - Excursions may be subject to change without notice for weather and/or technical reasons.
    - The package must be paid for on the spot or at the time of booking.


  • What is the currency used?


    The unit of currency in Dominica is the East Caribbean Dollar (EC$ or XCD).
    In April 2018, 1 € = 3.32 EC$ and 1 EC$ = 0.3 €. On the other hand, the exchange rate of the East Caribbean dollar against the dollar is fixed: 1 US$ = 2.70 EC$.
    The East Caribbean dollar is quoted in 7 other English-speaking Caribbean islands: Anguilla, Antigua, Grenadines, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and St. Lucia.

    Guadeloupe (and all the islands attached to it) is a French department. The Euro is therefore the common currency.


  • What are the payments to be made to confirm my reservation?

    To confirm your reservation, you must inform your GlobeSailor advisor who will make an option for you while you collect your deposit. The reservation will only be considered final once your deposit has been received (by bank transfer, Paypal or credit card), from 30 to 50% of the amount of the reservation. A deposit of 100% will be required for any reservation made less than one month before departure. The balance is due 45 days before departure at the latest.
  • What happens in case of cancellation?

    In case of cancellation, you must notify your GlobeSailor consultant as soon as possible. Whatever the cause, the following cancellation fees will be due: up to 90 days before departure: 30% /// from 89 to 60 days: 50% /// from 59 to 30 days: 75% /// from 29 days to departure: 100% of the amount of your reservation.
    We advise our clients to take out cancellation insurance with Ouest Assurance: http://www.ouest-assurances.fr
