French Antilles

A "Premiere" Charter Destination

The first French sailing ships reached the Caribbean in 1635... Today, the French Islands are actually incorporated as "departments" of France.  It is no wonder they have yet to leave!  The French Antilles have it all:

Exciting Sailing... Exotic Islands... Sandy Beaches... Floral Parks... French Sophistications... Historical Forts... Duty Free Shopping... Lush Vegetation... Hidden Coves... Gourmet French Cuisine... West Indian Culture With A European Flair!

You can enjoy each unique island at your own pace aboard an INTERPAC yacht.  Constant trade winds provide ideal sailing conditions and you can count on year-round sunshine!
