A Sailor’s Paradise
Clear seas, beautiful anchorages, steady trade winds and a full regatta calendar have made Antigua the Caribbean’s hotspot of sailing, ideal for both expert and novice sailors. Antigua Sailing week is one of the best regattas in the world, attracting thousands of travellers every year.
The beautiful beaches like Half Moon Bay and Rendezvous Bay add to the unforgettable experience of sailing in Antigua. No charter is complete without a visit to the best cocktail sundowner spot, Shirley Heights, perched high above the Caribbean Sea on the south coast. The restored military lookout once played an integral part in securing Antigua as did Nelson’s Dockyard.

Jolly Harbour
This large village resort is on the scenic west coast of Antigua, a hub for sailors and sailors-at-heart, offering comprehensive marina services and amenities. As charters typically start from Jolly Harbour, it’s a good idea to do most of your provision shopping here as it has one of the largest grocery stores on the island.
At Jolly Harbour you are spoilt for choice – hang out at the bars and restaurants along the boardwalk, play a round of golf, relax on the beach or simply sight-see around the marina. For a romantic sunset dinner with uninterrupted views of the ocean, visit the Sheer Rocks boutique restaurant just south of Jolly Harbour.
English Harbour
Charters also start from English Harbour, a well-located natural harbour that comprises Falmouth Harbour and the infamous Nelson’s Dockyard. Nelson’s Dockyard is a former British Navy base and is now a cultural heritage site, Antigua’s British maritime hub.
This harbour settlement expresses true Caribbean flair with colonial landmarks, white-sand beaches, watersports, abundant coral reefs and delicious food at laid-back bars and fine-dining restaurants.
English Harbour is also known as “superyacht central” where most yachts are stationed for the winter season. Ashore is a host of chic bars and restaurants to keep the sailing crew well-fed and watered between charters.
