The Tour de Martinique isn’t widely known in the anglophone world, but thanks to us being bilingual Canadians, the cat is out of the bag! In 2025 we were the first non-French and non-Caribbean boat to ever do the event- and we had a blast!! A 4-day stage race around beautiful (and delicious!) Martinique is something we simply can’t say ‘non’ to. This is an ideal opportunity for less experienced racers to join us for some low key fun in the sun, developing racing skills in a low pressure environment. It’s also a great opportunity to practice your French, chatting with the local sailors at each day’s catered shoreside events.
We’re offering a booking package discount for those who want to race AND build some serious offshore mileage, check out details below!

About life on board
As with all Sea to Sky racing, we will be as competitive as we can be together as a team, but safety will of course always come first by a long shot, followed by providing a positive learning environment where everyone can develop their skills and enjoy the experience. Expect to be pushed to achieve your best, to expand your skill set and truly challenge yourself, with ongoing support from our professional skipper.
We compete as a team and we prepare as a team, meaning everyone is expected to chip in with essential tasks before, during and after the race. This includes cooking, cleaning, provisioning, light maintenance tasks, rig and deck checks, etc. We also share sailing duties and do our best to rotate through positions on board when conditions allow for more experience building.
