Can I take a boat out for just one day?

What is not in the price?
The figure is for the boat. Transit log, tourist tax and the APA are mandatory, set per boat, and paid at the base. Skipper, hostess, extra equipment and other services are optional and also settled at the base.
Why do some boats show no price?
7 of the 22 boats in Pointe-à-Pitre are on request — usually larger or crewed yachts, where the rate depends on the week and the crew. They are left out of every figure above.
How far is the airport from Pointe-à-Pitre?
The nearest airport is Guadeloupe Pointe-à-Pitre Airport (PTP), under 10 km away as the crow flies; Antigua V.C. Bird Airport (ANU) is about 105 km. Transfer times by road are longer; most charter companies arrange a transfer to the base on request.
Do I need a licence to charter bareboat in the Caribbean?
No formal licence is required in most of the islands, but the charter company asks for a sailing résumé and may require a skipper for the first day if experience is thin; a skipper is booked as an extra on the boat page. Crewed catamarans need nothing of the guests.
When is the season?
December to April is high season — trade winds, dry weather and the highest prices; May to July is quieter and cheaper; August to November is hurricane season, when many boats are laid up and insurance limits where you can go.
What day do charters start?
Charters start any day of the week in the Caribbean, with handover around midday and return by mid-morning; the exact times are on each boat’s page.
