Martinique welcomes charter yachts throughout the Caribbean season and beyond, offering protected anchorages, authentic local culture and easy provisioning from well-stocked marinas. Yachts in the 100,000 per week bracket run to 40 to 50 metres, crewed by eight to ten professionals and fitted with water sports equipment and guest cabins finished to a high standard.
The Martinique charter circuit combines natural beauty with practical logistics. Guests arrive via Martinique Aime Cesaire International Airport, and provisioning is handled by the crew using produce from the Fort-de-France covered market and specialist marine suppliers. The the Diamond Rock dive site provides an optional day-trip for divers, while the anchorages are suitable for all water sports activities.
The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 per cent of the weekly charter fee covers fuel, food, beverages and berthing costs. Marina fees in Martinique are competitive, and the island market offers good local produce at reasonable cost. High season in the Caribbean runs from December through April, with some availability in the quieter shoulder months of November and May.
From Martinique, the charter itinerary extends naturally to St Lucia to the south and Dominica to the north, giving guests several days of new anchorages without retracing a single route.
