Let the trade winds carry you towards our southern neighbor for a maritime adventure where each stop reveals sometimes a raw, preserved, and mysterious nature, sometimes a vibrant Caribbean town under the sun, with its local markets, the scents of spices, and sometimes improbable tropical fruits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As soon as you leave the port of Le Marin, it appears on the horizon. Saint Lucia is the wild and mysterious sister island. <\/span><\/p>

This itinerary is perfect for those who enjoy a bit more sailing (the channel crossing is a highlight) and breathtaking landscapes. Less frequented than the Grenadines, it offers an XXL “Robinson Crusoe” experience. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
