Martinique sailing vacation
Prepare yourself for a sailing adventure of a lifetime. Martinique is one of few tropical islands where you can enjoy French culture seasoned with Caribbean charm. Fashionable and elegant, with an abundance of flora. Filled with ruins and historical monuments. Some call Martinique Caribbean “Paris” for two good reasons: great shopping on Rue Victor Hugo main street in Fort-de-France, and local cuisine, amazing mix of African, Indian, European and Caribbean flavors.
Our sailing trip will bring you to the most secluded islands near Martinique. Crystal blue water, white crispy sand and an abundance of marine life all that packed with tropical climate all year long. Simply choose the best date and allow yourself a week escape on board of the luxury crewed catamaran.

Customer reviews
How customer reviews and ratings work
We use the Average with Prior (also known as Bayesian Average) to calculate the total rating for each sailing cruise
Since new cruises could have very few reviews, each review can significantly impact the average score, potentially leading to misleading representations of the total score (e.g., one very positive or very negative review skewing the overall rating). To mitigate this, we use a "prior" or "default" score.
This means that each cruise, by default, starts with a rating of 4, which is calculated from 5 hypothetical reviews, each rated 4. This assumption provides a baseline level of performance that is neutral-to-positive.
For example, if a new cruise receives a 5-star review, the total rating will be adjusted to 4.17. Here's how it is calculated: (4 × 5) + 5 = 25 and then divided by the total number of reviews 6 (5 default + 1 actual review), resulting in 4.17
As more reviews come in, the weight of the actual reviews increases, and the influence of the prior diminishes.

“It was lovely”
It was a lovely trip! Thanks for your assistance in getting us transport when the ferry was cancelled. Only comment I can make is that it was a bit awkward with the other 3 passengers being marginally English speaking, but there were 7 of us that were. It would also be helpful to remind the folks that are chartering that the weather can make it a different itinerary that published, no fault just a reminder.

“Everything was great!”
Everything was great! Captain and first mate were A+ and made the trip safe and fun. My ship mates were all good people, like minded and kind. It's a very good boat and everything seemed to work. I loved sailing out of Martinique and through the Grenadines. A good chance I'll return to do it again!

“Working with 12 Knots was a pleasure”
Working with 12 Knots was a pleasure. We have traveled with Dream Yacht Charters twice (Grenada and Martinique). The first time we booked direct, the second time we booked with 12 Knots. Although we did not have any problems when we booked direct with DYC, Grigory was more easily reachable and assisted us with so much more than just the actual reservation. He was responsive and made the process easy. We would gladly work with him again when we book our next Yacht trip (we are already thinking about another location to explore for our Vacation next winter:) Steve and Kathleen
