We had an incredible time. It was myself, my wife, and our two kids (age 7 and 4). We were onboard with Eymeric for 6 full days. He took really great care of us. He was very accommodating of our needs. The boat was extremely clean and well organized. We were comfortable throughout. He took us to beautiful places. Above all Eymeric is a kind, caring, and friendly skipper. A real joy to spend time.

Be careful when sailing at the end of the June season, on the stopovers, the majority of businesses are closed, which makes the stopovers less attractive. Otherwise, out of season, being able to enjoy Petite Terre all to ourselves was an incredible privilege. We left Pointe à Pitre, then direction St François, to admire the tip of the castles, direction Petite Terre (reservation of anchorage 48 hours before essential), then Marie Galante and the Saintes, and a return to the Gozier before returning the boat .
Attention à la navigation en fin de saison Juin, sur les escales, la majorité des commerces sont fermés, ce qui rend les escales moins attrayantes. Sinon, hors saison, pouvoir bénéficier de Petite Terre pour nous seul, était un privilège incroyable. Nous sommes partis de Pointe à Pitre, puis direction St François, pour admirer la pointe des chateaux, direction petite terre (réservation du mouillage 48h avant indispensable), puis Marie Galante et les Saintes, et un retour sur le Gozier avant de rendre le bateau.

Great sailing, great snorkeling. The NPS moorings are abundant, well located and easy to pay for in their mobile app.

Carribean is a beautiful region to sail, with a lot of different cultures and types of islands, which makes every stop another adventure. Furthermore, nature is stunning (saw lots of turtles, some dolphins, and when snorkeling a lot of other underwater life :-D)

We spent time in St Martin, Anguilla, Tintamare, St Barth, and Ile Fourchue. It was an amazing itinerary. Great snorkeling, beaches, and local attractions/restaurants.

The exumas are really cool but there were surprisingly few reef fish and a lot more boat traffic than I expected. Beautiful though!

Charter a sailboat in Caribbean with or without a skipper

Charter a sailboat in the Caribbean with or without a skipper with SamBoat

The Caribbean is a region in the Americas. It has more than fifty islands that belong to diffehire countries such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, Grenada, etc. The Caribbean is a highly visited place for its beauty and great climate. The best time to visit the Caribbean is from December to May, during these months the intensity of the heat decreases and the sun's rays are not as strong. However, it is the high season, so the prices increase. We advise you to plan well your visit to anticipate your expenses.

Many travellers who have visited the Caribbean say that there is no better way to discover its wonders than onboard a boat. Charter a sailboat to explore the islands of the region or hire a catamaran in the Caribbean to relax in the Sea. Whichever option you choose, you will enjoy an unforgettable experience.
