About the tour

Tour itinerary

"Beyond" - a 51-ft sailing catamaran with five cabins and six heads, suited for up to ten guests. The format works for day runs and moves between anchorages without pressure on space. Pickup can be arranged anywhere between Saint-Martin and Grenada, Beyond boards the group at the agreed point.

The skipper has ocean experience across the Caribbean, the Med and the Pacific and handles both routing and onboard logistics. The cook-stew with charter practice runs the galley across Asian and European menus and keeps service so guests do not deal with details during the day.

Possible route (overnight aboard)

Departure from Le Marin and a short passage toward Sainte-Anne. The yacht anchors on sand in a naturally sheltered area, protected from the prevailing easterly breeze. Clear, shallow water makes this an easy first swim stop.

The route then continues toward Pointe Borgnèse. The point is known for a fringing reef with gorgonians and sponges, alternating with patches of sand and sea grass. This area works well for relaxed snorkeling directly from the boat or from shore.

In the afternoon the yacht proceeds west toward the Anses d’Arlet area. Anse Dufour is a common turtle spot: green turtles feed over the grass beds in shallow water, and the rocky edges read clearly in a mask. Overnight anchorage is typically set in Grande Anse d’Arlet. The bay offers a sandy bottom, good holding and generally calm water.

In the morning a short leg is made toward Rocher du Diamant, the standalone rock off the south west tip of Martinique. Landing is restricted due to protection status as a seabird nesting site, so the stop is a slow pass for viewing from the boat rather than a landing.

After that the yacht returns south toward Le Marin. Weather permitting, there is an option for a final swim stop off Sainte-Anne or a second stop at Pointe Borgnèse before re-entering the marina.

Included: SUP boards, masks and snorkels, fins, fishing gear, crew

Not included: air-conditioning in daytime (63.97 € per day)

About me

Maxim Smirnov
Yacht Skipper • Sailing Instructor • Racer

About me:
Sailing since childhood, yachting since my teens, and a life at sea.
I’m inspired by the adrenaline of race starts and the thrill of fighting for seconds, but nothing beats the pleasure of an unhurried cruise: when the sail catches the wind and there’s good food, easy conversation, and a crew you truly want to share the sea with.
I’m happy to share the helm, become part of the team, and help others feel the boat the way I do.

How I can help:
— Skipper for cruising and racing projects
— Instructor for beginner and advanced sailors
— Participant and organizer of corporate regattas and team-building events
— Preparing yacht crews and boats for racing

Key facts:
— Sailing since 1987; graduate of a St. Petersburg sports school (classes: Optimist, Cadet, 420, 470)
— Cruising yachting since 1994 (Quarter Ton class, Open 800, Raketa 970, and charter yachts)
— Independently built and skippered the yacht Flavis (32 ft, Raketa 970)
— 10+ years of teaching experience in yachting (IYT, ISSA)
— 10,000+ miles on offshore passages

Licenses and certificates:
— RYA Day Skipper (since 2012)
— ISSA YachtMaster Offshore (since 2016)
— GIMS, Ministry of Transport (sailing vessel skipper, since 2012)
— STCW-95, VHF, First Aid

Racing experience:
— Regattas on dinghies and sport yachts
— Podium finisher at the Russian Cup in Quarter Ton and Open 800 (GP26) classes
— Participant in ORC European Championships and Gotland Runt (AF Offshore Race, Sweden)
— Regattas in Turkey, the Baltics, Sweden, and Russia

Corporate projects:
— CG Sailing Cup (Montenegro, Croatia)
— Synergy Business Regatta (Montenegro)
— TechnoRegatta 100Captains 2024 (Montenegro)

Deliveries:
— Canary Islands – Madeira – Málaga (46 ft, skipper)
— Le Havre – Lisbon – Barcelona (53 ft, first mate)
— Malta – Canary Islands (53 ft, first mate)

The sea for me is work, sport, and a way of life.
And every new project is a chance to share this passion with a crew and make another journey unforgettable.
