The boat

A catamaran for those after an affordable — and perhaps more spirited — experience.

The Louisiane 37 is a seaworthy, practical boat that sails beautifully. Simpler and more basic than a modern catamaran, it is nonetheless well equipped, carefully maintained and ready to go.

It is a more affordable way to spend several weeks or months aboard without putting a large budget into your stay, and to discover the islands at your own pace. With friends, as a couple or with a small crew, it's a fine opportunity to live a genuine sailing experience without the budget of a newer catamaran.

Explore the Grenadines or the northern islands, head off for several weeks, or plan a trip mixing sailing, kitesurfing and wingfoiling — or simply enjoy the sunsets in a picture-perfect anchorage: the adventure is yours to choose…
