Antigua & St Vincent Sunsail Bases

ANTIGUA

The country of Antigua and Barbuda is a tiny world of its own in the Leeward Islands. Both destinations offer such a great range of anchorages that you can cruise for two weeks without ever retracing your steps. Barbuda is the uncommercial sister-island where you can get away from it all, while Antigua is the place to be for nightlife and the traditional Caribbean “jump up” parties
where rum punch flows. Antigua Race Week in April is the highlight of the Caribbean Regatta season for competitive sailors.

ST.VINCENT

Capital and gateway to The Grenadines, the spectacular St.Vincent cruising area offers line-of-sight sailing not unlike the British Virgin Islands. Sailors of varying experience levels will enjoy the alluring landscapes, superb snorkelling and diving, as well as an endless variety of stunning palm fringed
beaches in this nation of islands.

WIND AND SAILING CONDITIONS

Antigua & St.Vincent both experience year round northeast to southeast winds from 10 to 20 knots in the summer months and 15 to 25 knots from November to May. Winter season winds are generally east to northeast with July and October northeast to southeast variations for short periods. Currents generally flow in a westerly direction and the tidal range is approximately 18 inches.
