Antigua

The essentials of Antigua

Antigua has long held a special place in Caribbean sailing, with Nelson's Dockyard serving as the natural hub for yacht charters exploring the islands. The dockyard, steeped in naval history, provides a working base where nine charter yachts are positioned to begin voyages across the Caribbean Islands. From here, sailors can reach nearby anchorages and island communities with ease, taking advantage of consistent trade winds and sheltered bays that define the region's sailing season.

The waters surrounding Antigua offer straightforward passage between islands, making it an accessible starting point for both experienced sailors and those new to bareboat chartering. With multiple vessels available through the dockyard, visitors can select an option suited to their crew size and sailing ambitions, whether planning a leisurely exploration of nearby coves or a more ambitious multi-island itinerary throughout the Caribbean.
