Thinking about a bareboat charter in Guadalupe. Have internet searched the charter companies but am interested in any actual experiences, please.

Lanny, thanks for your reply - what is DYC?
Mike, on the "delivery" I did of Jeannius from Martinique we did stop at de Saintes (have the t-shirt) and then did an overnight in Dehaise. Also sailed past Kit's favorite rock <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Have you started your next real estate adventure? I was exhausted just watching the blog of your first venture!

DYC is probably Dream Yacht Charters.
If you are thinking of chartering in winter,you probably know the open water sails can be boisterous, even into late Spring ;-)

Tuamotu? Why not just use your RV <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

Yes, Dream Yacht Charter, they have a small base in Pointe a Pitre. They also have a base in Martinique, one ways are OK. One thing different about them they don't limit your charter area. You can, as an example, sail from Guadaloupe to BVI if you want (and pay the fee!).
After decades chartering with the Moorings, TMM, CYOA, PV, etc. These guys seem to be a cut above, at least as far as allowing you leave the typical base agenda behind. Watermakers are typical on their yachts, which would make a longer haul like the Tuamotus a bit easier (and cheaper too.)
I really did Dream about that Catana 55 in Raiatea, maybe even having it delivered to Fakarava then sailing back to Raiatea. Only Time & Money.

Only Time & Money. $5500 LESS to charter a Catana 47 in Raiatea for 2 weeks than a Lagoon 450 in Tortola during May next year <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Also probably quicker for you on the West coast to get there.

Eric, Marie Galante is also of interest as it seems to be the locale for a BBC TV show "Murder in Paradise", which I watch regularly.
Incidentally, my wife and I spent a wonderful week in your lovely country this spring during the "tulip season". I will never forget a sunny day in Keukenhof garden!

OK, the views are stunning, regardless of the name of the show, or the location! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />

Keukenhof is our backyard, well.... sort of since we live some 3 miles away from it. Driving around Marie Galante and tasting rum is really nice. We bought some of the last bottles Mr. Godefroid bottled (so they told us); no longer to be found? YES!!: http://www.lacompagniedurhum.com/bellevue,us,4,MG_BELLEV_04.cfm We anchored at Pain a Sucre (Isles des Saintes), not far from Marigot (15 mins dingy ride) and a lot quieter and nices (we think). Like Mike we also enjoyed Deshaies and several other small places. Antigua is not far and well worth the crossing back and forth.
