Martinique, a French Caribbean island found in the Lesser Antilles, offers an enticing blend of tropical beauty and European sophistication, making it a dreamy yachting destination. Praised for its stunning beaches, colourful coral reefs, and dense rainforests, Martinique is a nature enthusiast’s haven. The island’s diverse landscapes, from the volcanic north with its black sand beaches to the palm-fringed shores of the south, offer charterers endless exploration opportunities. A Martinique yacht charter lets charterers explore historical sites like Fort-de-France, indulge in the island’s renowned French-Creole cuisine, and experience the warmth of its vibrant culture. The island’s strategic location in the Windward Islands provides easy access to nearby islands like St. Lucia and Dominica, making it ideal for longer yacht charters throughout the Caribbean. From snorkelling in its clear waters to hiking through its thick forests or exploring its bustling local markets, Martinique offers an ideal mix of relaxation and adventure.
When to go
December to April
High season
December to March
Even though the island enjoys sunshine pretty much year-round, we recommend organising your yacht charter in Martinique during the dry season from December to April, when the weather is warm, with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C. These months provide great cruising conditions with clear skies and still, sparkling waters. This time frame coincides with the island's high season, offering vibrant cultural events and a lively atmosphere, particularly in key areas like Fort-de-France.
