Paul and his wife are incredibly friendly and competent. It was a lovely day filled with delicious food and wine, incredible snorkeling (Paul is very knowledgeable about different sea life), learning about sailing (technically foil sailing??), and actually helping with sails and steering! This is NOT a catamaran booze cruise, but a more intimate (only 6 of us and Paul!) and informative way to sail in Martinique. It was exactly what we were looking for and would recommend to anyone who wants a more authentic experience.

Hard to find a better days sail

Rawle_M, Feb 2025
Despite the picture on TeipAdvisor, the boat is a trimaran. Wonderful skipper, knowledgeable about Martinique and great guide during our snorkelling adventure.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

I'll try to find the picture you're talking about. Because all the photos that we put on TripAdvisor are about Fildou, our boat, which is effectively a trimaran...

Best Sailing Experience Ever

Michael_W, Mar 2024
Best Sailing Experience Ever This was an amazing excursion, and the service was incredible all provided by Paul the Skipper. There were seven of us guest on the sailboat, and a maximum of eight. Paul, brief us inside and gave us all really cool hats to wear to block the sun. It is very sunny, so make sure to apply sunscreen often. He was so accommodating and helping me as I have a few mobility issues, but made the day great. We took a dinghy, and then got on the amazing racing sailboat, where we sat on the wings, or in the back and took turns piloting the boat. The six hour tour is a relaxing, and peaceful, eco-friendly chance to go out to sea and sail. The snorkeling was beautiful and Paul led our group as he guided us to view the tour of undersea life. We had some unique beverages and lunch that was very tasty. Paul was one of the very best excursion guides we’ve ever had! He and Jessica were amazing! What wonderful people and our memories will last a lifetime! Thank you Paul!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Michael! Paul will be delighted to read this. We hope to welcome you back on Fildou one day 🌊

Amazing, unique experience

Ryan_G, Feb 2024
One of a kind trip that was the highlight of our vacation. In depth knowledge of the island, personal interactions and participation with sailing. Also, an amazing lunch!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Ryan! Making your vacation highlight is the greatest compliment we could receive 🙏 We hope to see you on board again one day!

A Memorable experience with a friendly captain who enjoyed explaining things on a working sailboat.

Robert_P, Jan 2024
Sailing across the bay to the snorkeling spot and snorkeling with the colorful fish and around the coral. We had time to relax and have a nice meal.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks a lot Robert !

Wonderful personable sailing excursion

Jill_H, Jan 2024
Loved the sailing and snorkeling. The captain was a seasoned sailor, and very people friendly. Really enjoyed the organic lunch, etc. I would strongly recommend this trip. 🙂

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Jill! Paul truly loves sharing his passion for sailing with his passengers. We hope to welcome you back on board Fildou one day! 🌊

Best Viator experience ever!

Sophie_C, Jan 2024
I have done numerous Viator experiences over the last decade, but this one takes first place. Everything has been thought through by Pol and his wife, Jessica. Meticulous attention to detail that allows you to relax and to enjoy every minute of this lovely excursion. The secluded snorkeling spot chosen by Pol and Madisail is exceptional. He takes great care to explain some of the fish and fauna encountered. The lunch and beverages provided were simply delicious! I wanted more tuna :) If you are coming to Martinique and staying within an hour of Case-Pilote, this is a MUST for all, young and old, families or couples. Pol and Jessica, thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks a lot Sophie, we can see that you encountered our vision. Regards. Jessica

Thank you so much Kara! Yes, Fildou is technically a foiling trimaran — quite a special boat! 😄 We're so glad you had such a wonderful day with us. You're welcome back anytime!

Super day with a super skipper

Julie_H, Feb 2023
Paul was an excellent skipper who takes immense pride in his sailboat. He is clear about safety and expectations for the day. All of our fellow passengers were francophone but Paul was careful to make sure we understood everything necessary. It was wonderful.

Highlight

Lilian_W, Jul 2022
Perfect tour! Paul was a very friendly and authentic guide and engaged the guests (max. 8 people) in the sailing experience. Brilliant choice of spot for snorkeling and free time (the given equipment was very good) and a lot of knowledge on the area/ its nature. The food on the trimaran was also delicious. Additional plus: Very sustainable concept concerning food, material and whole company. To us this was a great highlight to finish our vacation.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Oh, Thank you so much Lilian, you've understand so much our core concept, and life project. We feel so gratefull to welcome onboard such bright people.

Highlight of the trip

Mariya_C, Mar 2022
Paul is an amazing captain and this is the coolest boat you’ll see ! A must when seeing the island; highly recommend .

A must do!!

Jessica_R, Feb 2022
Highly, highly recommended! Our favourite outting, this is not a party boat, but one of peace, tranquility and healthy organic eats. The sailing was magnificent and the guide was very chill and welcoming. Translated to English for us when all others were French speaking. Would definitely do this again. Snorkeling was pretty amazing also, not one complaint.

Response from Host, Mar 2022
