Message from the manager
*"When I created Coteauvent in 2015, I wasn't just thinking about starting a business: I wanted to share my passion for the sea, showcase the riches of Martinique, and create genuine connections with people.
Today, I am proud to see this adventure grow thanks to a fantastic team and loyal customers who trust us. Without them, none of this would have been possible.
Our mission remains the same as it has been from the beginning: to be exemplary, to stay close to the people we welcome, to pass on knowledge to young people, and to respect the nature that surrounds us.
Thank you to everyone who is part of this beautiful story.
