Inicio » Experiencias » Experiencias Cortas » Yole Experience in Martinique
Discover Martinique from the sea aboard a traditional yole, one of the island’s most iconic boats and a true symbol of its maritime heritage. This unique astrotourism experience combines coastal sailing, cultural storytelling, geological interpretation, and guided stargazing, revealing the deep connections between the Caribbean Sea, the night sky, and the ancestral knowledge of the island’s first peoples.
Departing from Saint-Pierre on the North Caribbean coast or from Sainte-Marie near the Caravelle Peninsula, you will explore some of the most spectacular landscapes of Martinique while uncovering the island’s geological history and rich biodiversity. Sailing along these remarkable coastal environments, you will gain insight into the formation of the island and the natural forces that shaped its identity.
As night falls, the experience turns toward the sky: your certified astro-tourism guide will introduce the constellations visible in the Caribbean and share insights into Amerindian cosmogony, offering a cultural perspective on how the stars have been observed and interpreted for centuries.
Along the way, you will also enjoy authentic Martinican flavors, including tropical fruits, coconut water, and traditional local snacks, transforming the journey into a complete sensory experience that blends sea, culture, and stars.
Get closer to the stars and constellations with our astronomical equipment on board.
You will be accompanied by a professional skipper and an expert astronomer
You will learn how to interpret the night sky and how it has been used for centuries to guide navigation
We will get away from light pollution, lie on the deck, and enjoy an amazing night sky
After booking, you will receive a voucher with all practical details: schedule, meeting point, contact numbers and useful recommendations for your experience.
You will sail aboard a traditional Martinican yole, a unique wooden boat that is an essential part of the island’s maritime heritage. This 10-meter vessel offers an authentic way to experience the Caribbean Sea, connecting navigation, culture, and local traditions.
With space for up to 10 guests, the yole provides a stable and immersive platform to explore the northern coast of Martinique while enjoying the surrounding landscapes and the night sky. Sailing on a yole is not only about moving across the water, it is also a cultural experience that reflects the history, craftsmanship and seafaring traditions of the island.

Our experiences are designed for anyone with an interest and no sailing or astronomy experience is required.
Our instructors and skippers love to share their knowledge with all those who visit us.
Before the activity you will receive a voucher with all the details of your reservation and with the main tips both for sailing and for making observations.
It will depend a lot on the time of the year and the area where you are going to do your activity, but keep in mind that as a general rule, in the sea even in summer it is always advisable to wear several clothes and if we are hot we will remove layers.
Always take some warm clothes for sailing!
The same thing happens when we do observations at night, that although they are months of heat, at night temperatures drop quite a lot and it is preferable to be prepared with a good jacket, a hat to cover our head and even gloves.
Of course.
It will depend on the availability in each case but it is very common to reserve a boat for a family or group exclusively.
All our boats are duly registered in List 6 and are covered by Civil Liability Insurance and SOVI (Compulsory Travelers Insurance).
Insurance to cover the typical case of not coming because my grandfather got sick is another matter.
In such cases, you have to take out personal insurance.
If you tend to get seasick, tell your skipper and he/she will give you some recommendations to avoid seasickness as much as possible, although they are not infallible since each body reacts differently to this situation.
Although it depends on each territory and especially on weather conditions and sea conditions, the standard is approximately 1 hour of navigation and 2 hours of observation on land.
Prior to departure we will send you a Voucher with all the details of your reservation: meeting point, what is included in your trip… and the telephone number of the skipper or instructor.
Depending on the geographical area you are in, it is likely that on trips away from the coast you may lose mobile coverage.
