In Antigua, the locals say that ‘life’s a beach’. The perfect location for a yacht charter holiday, you’ll find it hard to disagree as you sail through more than 365 pristine pink coral bays. Its warm, steady winds and nearly unbroken wall of coral reef make it the ideal spot for a sailing holiday.

Explore the breath-taking mountain lookout points and candy-coloured villages, or try out one of the many water sport activities including diving, snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing and kite-surfing. The island is also home to an array of exotic wildlife; you’ll hear tropical birds chattering in the trees as you make the most of your Caribbean yacht rental.

A one-time English colony, you will still see echoes of English cultural icons during your Antigua yacht charter - look out for the red telephone boxes dotted around the island!
