Sail Away On The Flying Ray
We did some research before we decided to go on this tour and booked the tickets with St Lucian Wave Riders. They’ve got a few options from which you can choose, but we went for the Martinique Splendor all inclusive (food & drinks) boat tour, which is only available on Thursdays.
The catamaran departs at 8.30am and returns at 5.30pm. Price is US$185.00. We had some problems buying the tickets, a day before the trip, but we managed to sort everything out. Even though we were a bit disappointed by the tour company’s customer service we were now on the boat, on our way to Martinique. In the end the trip turned out to be quite enjoyable. The boat crew and the atmosphere were great.
Taking the ferry to Martinique for one day would have been the other option, which works out cheaper. But we didn’t find it convenient [at the time] because the ferry leaves from Castries (around 12 km from Rodney Bay – where we were based) and the cost of the ticket doesn’t include food and drinks. The price for a return ticket/person for the ferry is €110.00 (approx. US$130).
