For different reasons work on the history of the lesser Antilles has neglected the 125 years between the discovery by Christopher Columbus and the first English and French colonies in 1627. We shall undertake the reconstitution of this period by studying the navigation. Indeed between islands is not the boat the indispensable and only instrument for exploration, war and trade ! First we shall follow the Spanish in their discovery of the lesser Antilles, then through out the XVIth century in their slave raids and reprisals raids against Carib incursions, but also their stops for water of the annual fleet for the colonies. Sometime after the discovery, the English and the French are already present in the Caribbean but it seems they did not regularly fréquent the lesser Antilles before 1550. From this date and till the end of the century they used the islands as calls for food supplies, but also to barter some products before sailing to the Spanish settlements, the aim of the voyage. Sometime before the end of the century, the North Europeans began to look for more durable implantations on the islands and particularly in order to look for tobacco and precious woods, the beginning of the future colonisations. The Dutch appeared later, they did not look for implantations but the development of trade with Caribs
