- Yachting
The two separate islands that make up the joint country of Antigua and Barbuda may be within a 30 mile easy reach of each other, but they are world’s apart when it comes to character and lifestyle. Antigua is a party place where you can join the locals in a ‘jump up’ dancing to steel drums all night and enjoy duty-free shopping and all kinds of watersports. The unspoilt sister island of Barbuda with perfect pink sandy beaches and wild birds is where to go when you really want to get away from it all.
With warm, steady trade winds and so many idyllic safe harbours, Antigua is a fantastic yachting destination. The wonderful conditions make it an ideal venue for one of the world’s biggest sailing event, Antigua Race Week, renowned for world-class racing and all night partying, Caribbean style.
Neighbouring Barbuda is so undeveloped that it sometimes seems deserted, a tranquil paradise with pink beaches and complete solitude. Both islands offer a great range of anchorages.
Antigua Race Week April – May
This local sailing week has evolved into an international event attracting competitors from all over the world. Thousands flock to enjoy the party atmosphere and the non-stop social scene. The boats involved are packed with Olympic and round the world sailors so it’s a chance to compete against the cream of the crop. Our base in Nelson’s Dockyard – a sailor’s favourite for hundreds of years - puts you in the heart of the action as the race runs through English Harbour, Jolly Harbour and Dickenson Bay.
Racing enthusiasts return year after year from all over the world for this major event in the worldwide yachting calendar to compete in the perfect conditions of warm, steady trade winds.
