Guadeloupe Superyacht Charter

Guadeloupe is one of the most beautiful and varied islands in the eastern Caribbean, a French archipelago whose two main islands, shaped like a butterfly, offer a wonderful contrast of lush rainforest and golden beaches. Combining French sophistication with tropical beauty, it is a rewarding and colourful cruising destination.

The island of Basse-Terre is dominated by a spectacular national park of dense rainforest, waterfalls and the towering volcano of La Soufrière, offering superb hiking and dramatic natural beauty. Its sister island, Grande-Terre, offers rolling countryside, golden beaches and lively resort towns lapped by clear turquoise water.

Guadeloupe’s surrounding waters are a paradise for swimming, snorkelling and diving, including the celebrated Cousteau Reserve, along with beautiful outlying islands such as Les Saintes, whose stunning bay is among the loveliest in the Caribbean. Sheltered anchorages and clear coves abound.

Ashore, the island offers celebrated Creole cuisine blending French and Caribbean flavours, along with rum, vibrant markets and a warm welcome. Its blend of culture and nature is appealing.

With its rainforests, waterfalls and beautiful beaches, Guadeloupe is a lush jewel of the French Caribbean. Guests can hike volcanic parks, snorkel vibrant reserves and enjoy the Creole culture and natural beauty of this varied and beautiful island.

Highlights

Guadeloupe Yacht Charter
Guadeloupe yacht charters offer the freedom to experience the destination on your own terms. Each itinerary can be shaped around the way you want to travel, with the flexibility to move between time on the water, moments ashore and the simple pleasure of life on board.
Rainforest National Park
A spectacular national park cloaks Basse-Terre, its rainforest, waterfalls and volcano protected within the Parc National de la Guadeloupe, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1992. At its heart rises La Soufriere, an active volcano climbing to 1,467 metres, still steaming from fumaroles near its summit and last forcing a full evacuation in 1976. Trails lead through the reserve to the Chutes du Carbet, a series of three waterfalls whose second cascade drops around 110 metres, among the tallest in the Caribbean.
Les Saintes
The bay of Les Saintes, framed by Terre-de-Haut and Terre-de-Bas, is breathtaking, its still water and volcanic peaks giving it a reputation as one of the loveliest anchorages in the Caribbean. Fort Napoleon looks down over the harbour from a hilltop, built to guard against a British invasion that in the end never came, and today houses a small museum and cactus garden. Traditional saintoises fishing boats, their bright hulls a legacy of Breton and Norman settlers, still work the surrounding water alongside visiting yachts.
Cousteau Reserve
The Cousteau Reserve offers superb diving around the Ilets Pigeon, two small islets off Bouillante on Basse-Terre’s leeward coast. Jacques Cousteau dived here in 1959 and reportedly ranked it among the ten best diving spots in the world, drawn by the visibility and the density of reef life packed into a small area. The protected reefs teem with parrotfish, barracuda and turtles, and the shallow water around the islets makes for equally rewarding snorkelling straight from the boat.
Golden Beaches
Golden beaches line Grande-Terre, their clear turquoise water ideal for swimming and, in places, calmed by a fringing barrier reef. Sainte-Anne and Le Gosier offer classic postcard sand and gentle water for families, while further east the open Atlantic swell off Le Moule has made the coast one of the Caribbean’s better-known kitesurfing spots. The contrast between Grande-Terre’s flat, reef-fringed beaches and Basse-Terre’s dark volcanic sand across the water sums up Guadeloupe’s split character rather neatly.
Creole Cuisine
Creole cuisine blends French technique with Caribbean ingredients and West African and Indian influences, in dishes such as colombo curried goat, boudin creole and accras de morue. Guadeloupe’s rhum agricole, distilled straight from fresh cane juice rather than molasses, carries its own Indication Geographique Protegee, a designation distinct from neighbouring Martinique’s stricter AOC. Each August, the Fete des Cuisinieres sees the island’s female chefs parade through Pointe-a-Pitre in embroidered Creole dress before a blessing of their dishes, a tradition dating back over a century.

Guadeloupe Charter Guide

Everything you need to know before chartering a yacht in Guadeloupe, from the best time to visit to where to drop anchor.
When is the best time to charter around Guadeloupe?

The dry season, from December through May and known locally as careme, gives the most settled weather and reliable trade winds for sailing. Hurricane season runs June to November, with the highest risk in August and September, so many charters avoid or keep a close eye on the forecast during that stretch. Water temperatures stay pleasant year-round, and the wetter season brings the rainforest interior at its greenest.

Which airport should we use to reach Guadeloupe?

Most charters fly into Pointe-a-Pitre International Airport (PTP), also called Le Raizet, on the main island, with regular connections from Paris and the wider French Caribbean. Guests bound for Les Saintes or Marie-Galante usually clear the marina first, since both are a short ferry or day sail from Guadeloupe’s mainland rather than served by a useful airport of their own.

Where are the best anchorages for a few quiet nights?

Terre-de-Haut in Les Saintes is the standout, its sheltered bay ringed by hills and considered one of the prettiest anchorages in the region. Deshaies, on Basse-Terre’s north-west coast, offers a calm, deep bay backed by a laid-back village, while Ilets Pigeon combines a good overnight spot with the Cousteau Reserve’s diving right off the boat.

How many days should we allow for a Guadeloupe itinerary?

A week gives enough time to combine Basse-Terre’s rainforest and diving with a couple of nights in Les Saintes and a stop on Marie-Galante for its distilleries and quiet beaches. Ten days to two weeks allows a fuller loop, adding Grande-Terre’s beaches and, conditions permitting, a passage further south toward Dominica.

Do we need anything special to charter in a French overseas territory like Guadeloupe?

Guadeloupe is a full department of France, so it uses the euro, follows EU and French maritime regulations, and EU nationals need no visa. Non-EU crew and guests should carry a valid passport as they would for mainland France. Provisioning is easy given the excellent French produce, wine and bakeries available even in small marinas, and check-in follows standard French customs procedure rather than a separate island process.
