This is the perfect spot for a morning of swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding in complete tranquility. The bay is part of a protected marine reserve, so the underwater life is abundant and colorful.

After a delicious lunch on board, we'll set sail for the nearby Île Fourchue, a small, uninhabited island with a dramatic volcanic landscape. The island is a protected marine park and offers some of the best snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean. Explore the underwater world, where you can encounter sea turtles, rays, and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish. For the adventurous, a hike to the top of the island's peaks offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding islands.

We'll anchor in the sheltered bay of Île Fourchue for the night, a truly magical experience. Enjoy a gourmet dinner on the aft deck, surrounded by the raw, natural beauty of this volcanic island.
