In the heart of the warm waters of Guadeloupe, enjoy a 2-hour introduction to catamaran sailing in the Saintes archipelago!

During your introduction to catamaran sailing in the Saintes archipelago, you'll discover the 9 islands that make up the archipelago in the south of Guadeloupe alongside a state-certified instructor from the Voil Ô Saintes team. This little corner of paradise, much of which is still unspoilt, offers a magnificent setting for a 2-hour introduction to steering a small 8-metre sports catamaran!

Once aboard the catamaran, instructor Arnaud will suggest that you set the sails together at the start of the outing in Terre-de-Haut, before explaining how to manoeuvre the catamaran. Under his supervision, you'll take the helm and skipper to Terre-de-Bas! And that's not all: during this introduction to sailing in the Saintes archipelago, there's a short snorkelling break at Grande Baie. If you're lucky, you might even spot some sea turtles!

And don't forget: before heading back to Terre-de-Haut, your instructor will suggest tacking in the Bay of Les Saintes, to get the full thrill of the speed and glide aboard the catamaran!

Whether you're on your own, with friends or the whole family, if you're looking for a relaxing way to discover Guadeloupe, an introduction to catamaran sailing in the Saintes archipelago is the activity for you!

La sortie de 2h avec Arnaud est au top. C'est un passionné de la mer, des îles, très cool, calme et au top avec les enfants. Nous avons bien accrochés et la balade en bateau a permis à tout le monde de découvrir le monde de la voile. Une belle traversée jusqu'à Terre-de-Bas

Un activité bien dosée qui permet de bien découvrir les Saintes et leurs petits secrets en plus d’une petite dose d’aventure.
