A sea excursion to the Diamond Rock

Discover the Diamond Rock in a catamaran

Situated in the south-west of Martinique, the commune of Le Diamant has a curiosity that is well worth a visit. Opposite its magnificent white sandy beach is an impressive rock from which the commune takes its name.

A remnant of Martinique’s volcanic activity, the Rocher du Diamant is a tiny uninhabited islet located around two kilometres from the tip of the Pointe du Diamant in the Sainte-Lucie Channel.

Measuring 175 metres in height, the rock takes its name from its general appearance, which is pointed and bevelled, but also from the reflections on its walls, which are reminiscent of those of a precious stone at certain times of the day. This islet was once the scene of clashes between France and the British crown, who saw its strategic potential.

The best way to discover the Diamond Rock is to take a day trip on a catamaran.

Why choose a catamaran for a sea excursion?

The catamaran is one of the types of vessels preferred for sea excursions among sailboats, yachts, and semi-rigids for many reasons: its stability on the sea, its speed, and because it has enough space to host passengers comfortably.

The catamaran offers an excellent experience at sea, for a whole day or even just a few hours. Passengers can enjoy the landscape and the sea breeze, all while resting assured they are protected from the sun and bad weather.

The catamaran is also very safe, which is particularly important if you have children on board. Most accidents at sea are caused by crashes against objects or collisions, but the catamaran is way more stable than other types of boats, therefore is way less susceptible to turning around or crashing another boat.

Finally, the catamaran is one of the fastest boats, which is ideal if you have a particular destination in mind. Why not take a trip to Saint Lucia or a catamaran trip to the Grenadines, for example? You won’t have to wait for the boat to be in the right place before you can enjoy your excursion.

If you want to discover Diamond Rock by catamaran, Kokoumdo specialises in boat trips in the region. You’ll be able to make the most of your half-day at sea and all that this magnificent region has to offer thanks to our experienced crew and skipper.
