Morning Adventures: Embrace the Day in Marigot

As the sun rises over the vibrant town of Marigot, the day begins with a promise of adventure and discovery. The weather is warm and inviting, with a gentle breeze that carries the scent of the sea. It’s the perfect time to explore the charming streets of Marigot, where the local markets come alive with the colors and sounds of the Caribbean. Stroll through the stalls, where vendors offer fresh produce, handmade crafts, and local delicacies. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it easy to lose track of time as you immerse yourself in the local culture.

For those seeking a more active start to the day, consider embarking on a Half-Day Sailing adventure. Departing from the Fort Louis marina, this eco-friendly sailing experience offers a unique opportunity to connect with the sea. Under the guidance of Captain Fabrice, you’ll hoist the sails and navigate the waters of Baie de Marigot. Feel the thrill of the wind in your hair as you glide across the waves, taking in the stunning views of the coastline. This half-day adventure is available in the morning, making it an ideal way to kick off your day in Marigot.

Unique sailing experience with Captain Fabrice. It was great to actually be able to help sail the boat. We were able to experience the adrenaline of sailing in full wind and sometimes light wind. We saw beautiful scenery too. Captain Fabrice was a wonderful sailor, very professional, and he had great stories. We got to learn and do a lot of sailing. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a good time and actually participate in the sailing.

Afternoon Delights: Savor the Flavors of St. Martin

As the day progresses, the warm and humid weather invites you to indulge in the culinary delights of St. Martin. The island is renowned for its fusion of French and Caribbean cuisine, offering a tantalizing array of flavors to explore. Head to one of the many beachside restaurants, where you can enjoy a leisurely lunch with a view of the turquoise waters. Savor dishes like fresh seafood, spicy Creole specialties, and decadent pastries, all prepared with the freshest local ingredients.

After lunch, take a leisurely stroll along the beach or explore the historic sites of Marigot. The town is rich in history, with landmarks like Fort Louis offering a glimpse into the island’s past. Climb to the top of the fort for panoramic views of the surrounding area, where the lush hillsides meet the sparkling sea. The afternoon is a time to relax and soak in the beauty of St. Martin, whether you’re lounging on the beach or exploring the town’s hidden gems.

Evening Elegance: Sunset Cruise to Remember

As the sun begins to set, the magic of Marigot truly comes alive. The evening is the perfect time to embark on a Sunset Cruise from Anse Marcel to Marigot Bay. This two-hour journey offers a luxurious escape, with Captain Elliot at the helm. As you sail along the coast, enjoy a glass of wine and a plate of cheese, while the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink.

The cruise is a romantic and unforgettable experience, with the gentle sway of the boat and the sound of the waves creating a serene atmosphere. The open bar and complimentary snacks add to the indulgence, making it a perfect way to end your day in Marigot. Whether you’re traveling with a loved one or enjoying a solo adventure, the sunset cruise is a must-do activity that captures the essence of island living.

This was the best sunset cruise. Elliott was super knowledgeable and thoughtful. We began the tour an hour early at Elliott’s recommendation due to the timing of sunset in the winter. A brilliant recommendation indeed. A waterfront view along the French side of the island was perfect and you couldn’t have ordered a better sunset. The cheeses and wine were a perfect addition to the sunset. We had 4 adults and 2 children (age 5). Elliott was patient and kind with our littles and engaged them throughout the cruise as well. Highly recommend.
