And Le Petibonum’s most recent generation solves what has very long been the place’s only difficulty: obtaining to depart at closing time. 

It is called Le Petibonum Boat Hotel, and it indicates you can now invest all day at Le Petibonum and then shell out the night proper offshore — as a lot of days as you want.  

The floating lodge is a souped-up Lagoon 45 S catamaran with four cabins, connoisseur food stuff and, in a natural way, the very best rhum from Martinique.

It also involves your have ti’ punch bar on the deck (previously mentioned). 

The lodge is beneath the comprehensive-time supervision of on-board skipper Anthony, with a few meals a day served on board by Le Petibonum’s Chef, Bruno.

If you’re not remaining at the hotel, there is an choice of reserving non-public meals relying on availability, and the Boat Lodge is also supplying stays as quick as one evening.
