I noticed there is a ferry from Castries to Martinique. I am wondering if this ferry has a daily roundtrip schedule? Thank you.

Destination Expert   What's this?
for Vieux Fort, Gros Islet

Hi,

Waveriders do a trip on a large high speed catermaran. It was on a thurs.Early departure (c 8.30am), breakfast on board, 90 mins to Martinique, call at duty free shop, then Fort de France. Walking tour organised or do your own thing for c 3 hours. Depart to snorkelling site stop for 1 hour then back to St Lucia arrive back c 5.00pm. Lunch and open bar included in cost. Bit of a party on the way back if you want it or you can relax in the quiet bit. We had a great time. Not cheap c USD 210 per head from memory. look at www.serenitytvl.com I think they list iot.

STEVE

Destination Expert   What's this?
for St. Lucia

the other ferry is an actual ferrry service - not a tour like WaveRiders. The Express des Isle is a ferry service between several islands - St. Lucia, Martinique, Guadelupe, Dominica. It is a high-speed catamaran ferry service. However, it is not daily between Martinique-St. Lucia and while you could theoreticall go rount/trip in a day, it would be very tight and there would be no time for sight-seeing/shopping, etc. If you just want to have some time in Fort de France and do some swimming,, etc. then WaveRiders would be the thing.

They have their own website also - http://www.stluciawaveriders.com/ You can book directly with them.
