Before you go

Practical info

What to bring on board

Swimwear, a beach towel and a windbreaker for the evenings. Against the sun: rash vest, cap, sunglasses and sunscreen. A swim belt for children who can’t swim yet.

Luggage

Choose soft bags — much easier to stow on board than a hard suitcase. Bring your own board gear if you have it; otherwise it can be rented on site. Prone to seasickness? Think of a preventive remedy.

Documents

A valid passport is mandatory: we change countries at almost every stop. No specific vaccinations are required.

Kite licence

Riders need an AF Kite licence including third-party liability and repatriation cover.

Good to know

Onshore activities (taxis, excursions, restaurants) are not included. The weather can’t be ordered — but Fabien always knows where to find the wind.

Good to know

Your questions

How much does a cruise cost?

The price depends on the package (cabin or private charter), the season and the number of guests. Everything is included: skipper, host, meals, drinks, boat kitty and activities. Message Fabien for an exact quote.

Where do we board?

At Cap Est (Le François) or Le Marin, Martinique, from 6 pm on the first day. You disembark around 10 am on the last day. An airport transfer is available as an option.

What if I don’t kitesurf?

No problem at all. Snorkelling in the Tobago Cays marine park, paddling, trolling, empty beaches and walks ashore: the days fly by.

How many people on board?

Six guests at most, for top-quality coaching and a real friendly atmosphere. Departure is guaranteed from four people.

Do I need a passport?

Yes, a valid passport is mandatory: we change countries at almost every stop. No specific vaccinations are required.

Shall we?
