Bas-du-Fort Marina: The Ideal Starting Point to Explore Guadeloupe by Boat

Located at Bas-du-Fort, right between Pointe-à-Pitre and Le Gosier, Bas-du-Fort Marina is one of Guadeloupe’s premier nautical hubs. Perfectly sheltered and fully equipped, it offers direct access to the Caribbean Sea and the sheltered waters of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin lagoon.

Exploring Guadeloupe by Boat: What Awaits You

From Le Gosier Marina, boaters have access to an exceptional maritime playground. Whether you hold a coastal boat license or charter a licensed vessel, you can tailor your itinerary to your desires: swimming in crystal-clear lagoons, snorkeling over coral reefs, anchoring off untouched islets, or exploring mangrove channels.

Day-Trip Destinations Within Easy Reach

Departing from Le Gosier, several iconic islands and sites can be reached for a full day on the water, depending on weather conditions and your license category:

• Îlet du Gosier: Just minutes away from the marina, this postcard-perfect islet offers turquoise shallow waters and a scenic coral reef.
• Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin & Îlet Caret: Cruise through the Rivière Salée to reach white sandbars, turquoise lagoons, and lush mangrove forests.
• Les Saintes archipelago: For experienced skippers with favorable sea conditions, Terre-de-Haut Bay ranks among the world’s most beautiful bays.

Practical Tips for Your Charter Day

A safety briefing and boat handover are conducted at the marina prior to departure. Plan your departure early in the morning to make the most of your day, check the marine weather forecast, and don’t forget reef-safe sun protection, plenty of water, and your snorkeling gear.
