Boat Rental in Guadeloupe — Les Saintes, Cousteau Reserve, Pigeon Islets
Embark on an unforgettable day in the Caribbean Sea aboard our recent semi-rigid boats.
Departures from Gourbeyre (Basse-Terre) and Terre-de-Haut (Les Saintes). With boat license.
Your Caribbean adventure begins here
The Guadeloupe is a marine paradise that is fully discovered by boat. Between the Cousteau Reserve and its Pigeon islets, the’Archipelago of Les Saintes ranked among the most beautiful bays in the world, the hot springs of Bouillante, or the wild coves of the Côte-sous-le-Vent, each cape crossed reveals a new treasure.
With Blue Boat Rental, you take the helm. Our rigid inflatable boats Soléa and Yop Yop, which are modern and fully equipped, give you complete freedom to plan your perfect day: snorkeling, a picnic in a secluded cove, watching turtles and dolphins, or simply relaxing at anchor as the sun sets.
From the Rivière-Sens Marina in Gourbeyre or since Terre-de-Haut, your adventure is just a few minutes away.

Where can we sail in Guadeloupe with our boats?
From our two starting points, you'll access the most beautiful sailing spots in Guadeloupe. Here are the most popular destinations among our clients, accessible for day trips.
The archipelago of Les Saintes
Ranked among the world’s most beautiful bays by UNESCO, the Baie des Saintes is best explored by boat. Îlet à Cabrit, Pain de Sucre, Baie du Marigot: cruise at your own pace among hidden coves and idyllic anchorages. From Gourbeyre: 45 min to 1 hr. From Terre-de-Haut: already there.
Explore Les Saintes by boat →
Cousteau Reserve & Pigeon Islets
Designated a nature reserve by Commander Cousteau himself, this protected marine area off the coast of Bouillante is home to exceptional biodiversity: green turtles, parrotfish, barracudas, and corals. The must-visit spot for snorkeling in Guadeloupe. 45 minutes from Gourbeyre.
Swim with the turtles →
Côte-sous-le-Vent & Bouillante
Calm waters, crystal-clear depths, and beaches of black volcanic sand. The west coast of Basse-Terre is best explored at a leisurely pace by boat, with a possible stop at the Bouillante hot springs for a natural 40°C soak. The perfect choice for a first family outing.
Choose a boat
Marie-Galante
«La grande galette» offers endless paradisiacal beaches and a unique rum heritage. A more demanding crossing (1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours from Gourbeyre) is reserved for experienced sailors and calm seas.

Dolphin watching
The Leeward Coast is renowned for its encounters with wild dolphins, often in groups of several dozen. A rare and magical experience, to be enjoyed off the coast of Bouillante or Terre-de-Haut, while respecting these marine mammals.

Verified Dream day Superb day on the boat. Great, easy-to-handle boat that is very practical for the type of sea around Les Saintes. Ligne Eric explains everything you need to know in a way that is as friendly as it is professional. An experience to be repeated as soon as possible.

Verified Perfect. What can I say? Everything is perfect! Eric explains the boat's equipment well, gives good sailing advice, and adapts to the renter's profile. After several rentals, a sense of trust has built up, and the boat "handover" is getting faster and faster. We will repeat the experience as soon as possible.

Verified Boat trip to Les Saintes with wakeboarding Very good experience. A boat in very great condition, top-notch hospitality, and lots of great advice. We were able to see the turtles as promised, and the goats too. No surprises regarding the moorings and anchorages. Thanks to Éric for his kindness and attentiveness. He allowed us to anchor the boat close to our rental house, which was very convenient. We will repeat the experience with Éric as soon as we come back to Les Saintes. Thank you

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions from our customers before booking.
Do you need a permit to rent a boat in Guadeloupe?
Yes, a boat license (coastal license) is mandatory for all our boats. Soléa (300 hp) and Yop Yop (150 hp) exceed the power that would allow rental without a license. European licenses are accepted.

Can I go to Les Saintes with a rental boat?
Absolutely. From Gourbeyre, the crossing takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. From Terre-de-Haut, you are already there: our boats are also based there to set off directly to explore the archipelago.
When is the best time to rent a boat in Guadeloupe?
The dry season, from December to May, offers the best conditions: calm seas, little rain, and moderate trade winds. Our boats sail year-round, with program adaptations depending on the weather.
