Martinique is the perfect place to plan your sailing vacation. Warm winds and a dry winter make sailing conditions ideal for the majority of the year. With a variety of professionally maintained yachts, catamarans and sailing boats to choose, you can’t go wrong with a Martinique yacht charter. 12 Knots offers crewed yacht charters as well as bareboat rentals depending on your sailing experience.
The average temperature in Martinique stays around 20-30°C (68-86°F) year round, with short rain showers in late spring and summer. March and April are typically the driest months, as well as the most windy. Northeastern trade winds arrive in the Caribbean between 20-25 knots in the first half of the year (December to June). Martinique is located on the edge of the Caribbean bordering the Atlantic Ocean, which means it is exposed to the strongest trade winds. January through April provide the best temperatures, light rain, and wind for sailing in Martinique.
On your yachting trip, you can choose to sail around the island, or travel across the Caribbean to some of the nearby islands. Sailing north, you’ll reach Dominica, and to the south St. Lucia island. St. Lucia is home to Soufrière, a town surrounded by luscious rainforest. This forested area contains several hiking trails where you can catch a glimpse of waterfalls, hot springs and dormant volcanoes as they tower over Rodney Bay.
You will start your charter at Le Marin, the main boar rentals hub in Martinique. You can choose among a variety of sailing yacht and catamaran charters depending on your desires and budget. Our sailing yacht and catamarans include luxurious, spacious living quarters, all-inclusive equipment and the option to have crew members on deck for sailing assistance and navigation. We offer bareboat charters for experienced sailors, but encourage you to bring as much gear, and even hire a skipper if sailing in Grenadines is a new adventure for you.
