Martinique is a major sailing hub in the Caribbean. The capital, Fort-de-France, has a deep harbour, and the island is a popular stop for transatlantic yacht crossings and charters. Le Marin, in the south, is one of the largest marinas in the region.
Traditional yole racing, a unique form of sailing with local wooden boats, is a key part of Martinique’s maritime culture.
Extend your stay on the island if you can, and get off the tourist trail. There is some fabulous hiking to be had here. Make the most of your visit- there’s great info on the Martinique tourism website.
