Paddleboard rental in Martinique: explore the Anse Michel lagoon
Anse Michel, at Cap Chevalier, is the ideal place to discover Stand Up Paddleboarding in Martinique. The lagoon is protected by the coral reef, the water is shallow and the swell is almost non-existent — perfect conditions for beginners without apprehension or simply for paddling along at the pace of the trade winds.
Standing on your board, paddle in hand, you glide across turquoise waters with incredible reflections. Looking down, you'll see the coral reefs and sometimes a few tropical fish. A gentle and accessible experience for everyone, it rivals organized excursions—and without the crowds.
Alizé Fun offers SUP rentals in Cap Chevalier, Sainte-Anne, by the hour, half-day, or full day. No experience is necessary; equipment is provided, and our team will give you the basics in just a few minutes before you set off.
For the more adventurous, it is also possible to take your paddleboard on board a sailboat to explore the coasts of the Grenadines or other Caribbean islands.
