Sunsail Adds New Yachts to Martinique Fleet

CLEARWATER, Fla., May. 12 /PRNewswire/ --

CLEARWATER, Fla., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunsail, the company for sailors by sailors, today announced the addition of a new range of charter yachts into its Martinique fleet later this year. The new models include the Sunsail 393 (3 double cabins) and the Sunsail 44 (4 double cabins), of the recently launched Sun Odyssey 'i' range by world class yacht builder Jeanneau.

Available for bareboat or skippered charter, the new yachts arriving this winter complement Sunsail's fleet of 38' to 50' monohulls and catamarans, located in the south of Martinique at Le Marin, whose "Port de Plaisance" is now the island's largest and best-equipped marina.

"We're excited to announce this important investment in Martinique, where our dedicated staff has delivered great yachting holidays for over 15 years," said Peter Cochran, Vice President of Operations. "With easy air access, Martinique is perfectly positioned for trips south through the Windward Islands and beautiful St. Vincent and the Grenadines, or north to the lush landscapes of Dominica and the butterfly-shaped island of Guadeloupe, with one ways possible to our other Sunsail bases."

Famous for its French flair, spectacular flowers and rum distilleries, Martinique remains one of the most alluring and enchanting destinations in the world. An overseas region of France, this vibrant island stirs the passions with awe-inspiring natural beauty, a rich cultural history and distinctive culinary delights.

Martinique is well served by American Airlines with daily flights from San Juan to Fort de France and flights from Miami to San Juan every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. You can also connect from Barbados, Antigua and St. Lucia into Martinique with Liat. This summer you can take advantage of great deals to Martinique and the rest of the Caribbean, as Sunsail is offering up to 35% off between June 1 and October 31, 2008 for bookings made by May 31, 2008.
