La Yole Ronde Martiniquaise, Heritage of a Unique Know-How

A symbol of Martinique’s maritime tradition, the round yawl is much more than just a boat. Crafted using ancestral know-how, it embodies the spirit of transmission and resilience that characterizes the island. Every year, the yawl regattas bring together enthusiasts and visitors in a vibrant celebration of this local culture.
