Martinique yacht charter reviews, companies, pictures, and sailing vacation information

Martinique's 'les alizes' trade winds offer sailors steady 10 – 20 knot winds. During the summer months winds will be 10 – 20 knots from the northeast, while the winter months will have 15 – 20 knots from the east. The trade winds are consistent making calm, breezeless days rare. North Atlantic storms occur during the winter months, creating swells reaching Martinique and making north and west anchorages difficult. If staying on the island, distance between ports is no more than 10 nautical miles. Many charterers decide to combine this trip with a stay in St. Lucia which is over 20 nautical miles away from Martinique.
