The best places to visit on your next sailing cruise in Guadeloupe

Breathtaking views, small corners of paradise with turquoise waters, all mixed with a bit of history, lots of smiles and colourful streets. That's the recipe for happiness: a sailing cruise between the islands of Les Saintes.
Marie Galante

Located in the south of Guadeloupe, "l'île au cent moulins" will enchant you with its authenticity, its many white sandy beaches and its anchorages in lagoons lined with cliffs, perfect for enjoying on a sailing boat. But don't forget to also explore the rhum distilleries and old mills, once used to crush sugar cane to produce the excellent local syrup.
Any ideas for a week's itinerary in Guadeloupe?

The ideal is to embark at Pointe à Pitre, then sail according to the wind between the different islands: Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, the Petite-Terre nature reserve and Désirade, a little corner of paradise. You will then return to the main island, pass through the small fishing port of Saint François and finally reach Pointe à Pitre again, where you will disembark.
