Pointe-à-Pitre's waters at 5 knots

The Petit Cul-de-sac Marin, a reef-protected lagoon between Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre: that is the setting. Weather-wise: steady easterly trade winds, stronger in the inter-island channels than in the lee of the coasts — with 6 hp you pick the calm morning sea, and the exact area is drawn by the operator at the briefing.

Booking at the right moment

The useful season runs from December to April, the dry season — summer belongs to hurricane risk. Six-hp fleets being the smallest in the harbour, aim for the morning slot.

In Guadeloupe (French law), motorboats rent license-free up to 6 hp (4.5 kW); above that, the French coastal license or an equivalent title is required. Sail needs no license at all. Operators check papers at the pontoon — if in doubt about a specific model, ask for the engine's real power before booking.

Yes: open hulls of 5-6 metres for 4-6 people, on the Petit Cul-de-sac Marin, a reef-protected lagoon between Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre — daytime cruising at gentle speed.
