The most beautiful place in the world
03/10/2024 - NSS Charter
Martinique is the Caribbean corner of France, where the scent of rum and spices fills the air and legends of pirates blend with local music. This wonderful island in the Lesser Antilles is the perfect destination for those seeking a unique adventure in contact with nature, rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. The catamaran is the ideal means to fully experience the Caribbean cruise.
Martinique: The Queen of the Lesser Antilles
Discovered by Cristoforo Colombo during his fourth voyage to America in 1502, Martinique was described by the famous Genoese navigator as “the most beautiful place in the world.” Today, the island is a hub for sailors and tourists thanks to its hospitality, high-level services, and strategic position for sailing between the Caribbean islands.
Fort-de-France: The Cosmopolitan Capital
The island’s capital, Fort-de-France, is a lively center characterized by steep hills and narrow streets, frequented by an international crowd. Here, locals and visitors often gather in the gardens of La Savane, a green space surrounded by bars and shops, or stroll along the Malecon, a promenade offering stunning views of the ocean.
An Island of Natural Contrasts
Martinique offers a wide variety of landscapes. The northern part of the island is mountainous and covered with lush forests, while the center features flat areas, and the south has low hills overlooking enchanting beaches. Inland, the Pitons, dormant volcanoes wrapped in vegetation, dominate the landscape. Among the most famous are Piton Conil, Mount Pelée, Morne Jacob, and the Pitons du Carbet.
Dreamy Bays and Beaches
The coast of Martinique is dotted with bays and coves, known as “anse,” each with its own unique characteristics. Among the most spectacular beaches is Les Salines, famous for its fine white sand, while others, such as Anse Ceron and Anse des Gallets, feature black and gray sands, a reminder of the island’s ancient volcanic eruptions. Sailing along the coast on one of NSS Charter's catamarans, you’ll have the opportunity to admire pristine landscapes and stop near deserted islets, where the only company will be seabirds and crystal-clear waters.
Extraordinary Underwater Encounters
For lovers of the underwater world, Martinique offers spectacular encounters with marine life. On the Atlantic side, the coral reef is populated by colorful fish, while at Anse Noir, you can swim alongside majestic giant turtles. These experiences make every cruise in Martinique an unforgettable journey.
A Fascinating Mix of Culture and History
Martinique is not just nature: the island offers a captivating blend of French and Caribbean culture, reflected in local music, cuisine, and architecture. Creole traditions will enchant you, providing a unique experience that engages all the senses. Moreover, being part of France, the island offers all European comforts, with modern infrastructure such as the Le Marin marina, one of the best in the Caribbean.
