Escape to Antigua

Antigua may pack 365 beaches into one small island, but with clear seas, consistent breeze and a full regatta calendar, the beaches are just the start. Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean‘s Leeward Islands, Antigua is the best that sailing has to offer: warm, gentle trade winds, safe anchorages, turquoise waters, and deserted white sand beaches. 

Charter a yacht and set sail in Antigua from our base at Nelson’s Dockyard, where you’ll find a thrumming nightlife and lively bars filled with sailors drinking rum cocktails. From here, you’re perfectly positioned to explore both Antigua and her chilled-out little sister Barbuda. Drop anchor in Deep Bay and snorkel the famous shipwreck The Andes, huddled under the blue waters in the middle of the bay.

Step onto dry land for an evening and join one of Antigua’s famous ‘jump-ups’, an all-night steel drum dancing session. Embark on a 30m reach north and spend the next afternoon relaxing on tranquil Barbuda. Here you’ll find satiny stretches of pink coral sands for relaxing and colourful reefs for snorkelling. Birds far outnumber people on Barbuda, so take it easy and enjoy the solitude of the reef-protected shores.

Highlights

  • Excellent wreck and reef diving
  • A stunning beach for each day of the year
  • Blue water sailing in steady trade winds

Great experience all around for our entire group.

Aaron Youngstedt Tortola

Good communication and service throughout. Boat was upgraded and we really enjoyed the additional luxuries.

Aaron Eddington Antigua

Everything from the communication leading up to the charter to the airport pickup to provisioning to loading our bags on the boat to the boat briefing by Ash and his staff made the entire experience seamless. And with a solid 15 knots of wind everyday with amazing scenery mixed with local culture and extremely kind locals this was a trip of a lifetime!

Brent Ritzke Phuket

The boat, the staff, and the experience of sailing the BVI was superb.

Steven L Gibson Tortola

There is no vacation experience like chartering a sailboat – especially in the BVI. Sunsail and our captain Kedon lived up to our prior trips and expectations.
