Guadeloupe is a French Caribbean yacht destination with marinas, beaches, rainforest, diving, Les Saintes and Lesser Antilles route appeal.
Guadeloupe is included as a preliminary Superyacht Guide destination because it has strategic, charter, expedition, passage-making, cultural or island-cruising relevance. Some of these destinations are established yacht cruising grounds, while others are specialist expedition or route-planning destinations that need careful local support.
For owners and guests, Guadeloupe can form part of a wider itinerary involving beaches, reefs, wildlife, culture, marinas, remote anchorages, canal transits, expedition shore landings, diving, rainforests or Atlantic-Pacific passage planning. Its current Destination Star rating is deliberately capped pending full editorial assessment.
