Catamaran Excursion: Josephine's Bathtub and the Robert Islets

Josephine's Bathtub and the Robert Islets

The unmissable excursion in Martinique

Embark on a dream day trip to the heart of Martinique’s Atlantic coast, discovering the famous white sandbanks and islets of Le Robert, natural gems reminiscent of a tropical paradise. Aboard a comfortable catamaran, you will sail between turquoise waters and wild islets in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

The excursion takes you to the legendary Baignoire de Joséphine, a sandy shoal lost in the middle of the lagoon, where you can swim waist-deep in the water with a glass of planteur in your hand. This iconic spot, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, offers a moment suspended between sky and sea.

You will also discover several unspoiled islets, including Îlet Chancel, famous for its population of endemic iguanas and its discreet colonial heritage. Snorkeling stops are planned to admire the corals and tropical fish, and a full Creole meal will be served on board, with your feet in the water or in the shade of the awning.

This is the ideal excursion for those seeking to combine discovery, relaxation, and local culture in an exceptional natural setting, to the gentle rhythm of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Martinique.
