Come aboard Le Ponant for an unforgettable voyage.

Le Ponant, the first Relais & Châteaux sailing yacht. The finest travel address on the waters of the world.

The Caribbean. The mere mention of this vast archipelago conjures images of waves dancing along the shoreline, lapping against long beaches lined with elegant palm trees. During this unforgettable 8-day cruise, spend your time contemplating and exploring aboard PONANT’s emblematic yacht.

You will move away from the lively shores of Marigot and sail under wind power towards the Anguilla archipelago, a little-known jewel where you will be able to reconnect both with yourself and the surrounding elements. Soon, deeply breathing in the air on the deck of the three-mast yacht, you will be enchanted by the infinite palette of blues in the Caribbean Sea. You will drop anchor around Sandy Island, where you may indulge in daydreaming in the heart of an extraordinary lagoon where an almost otherworldly sand bar has formed. In this natural pool, you will enjoy the moment as you go out on a paddle board or a kayak, or for a swim.

Thanks to the perfect conditions, sailing here is a delight for all the senses. Lying on the deck, you will let the wind and the sunshine caress your skin, while the crew sail the mainsail. With dependable trade winds, easy visual navigation, many moorings in crystal-clear waters and an underwater world full of fish, the British Virgin Islands really are one of the best sailing destinations in the world. Be inspired by the hilly landscapes, swim with turtles and multicoloured fish above the coral reefs, lounge on the seemingly endless beaches of white sand and head for the heights to explore the paths that criss-cross Norman Island,  the “pirate island”.

At the end of a beautiful crossing over the Caribbean Sea, you will arrive in the Anguilla archipelago. On Dog Island, you will be like Robinson Crusoe discovering a desert island. You will not come across anyone, except a few wild goats and a colony of seabirds that you will learn to recognise with the help of a local naturalist-guide.

After this odyssey embracing the elements, feeling refreshed by this special experience aboard Le Ponant, as if you were on your very own yacht, you will return to terra firma in Philipsburg.
