Description
On site, Patrick has a fleet of seven motorboats available, suitable for all levels of experience, for self-guided trips lasting a full day or half a day.
As you set out, let yourself be enchanted by the unspoilt landscapes of François Bay. Stop off at Martinique’s white sandy seabeds, at the legendary Baignoire de Joséphine, and enjoy a convivial moment with a rum tasting out at sea, in water barely 80 cm deep.
You’ll sail at your own pace, in complete freedom. Diving masks and snorkels allow you to explore the rich marine flora and fauna, whilst the mangrove forest unfolds along the coast. You can also moor at the small sandy beaches of Îlet Thierry or Îlet Oscar, ideal for a relaxing break or a picnic.
