Sailing catamarans, in particular, are perfect for the Caribbean waters, making the most popular choice when it comes to Antigua yacht charters for a day. These boats can accommodate small to big groups, so whether there's only 2 of you onboard or you're a group of 15, you can enjoy the luxuries and comforts of a luxury catamaran in Antigua.

Antigua yacht charter for a weekend

A weekend yacht charter in Antigua can start on a Friday afternoon and end on a Sunday, or the morning of Monday, depending on the itinerary you have or islands you wish to visit. While there are hundreds of islands to explore, a weekend boat charter can give you an experience of a few different islands that offer equally impressive experiences while still giving you the complete list of what Antigua has to offer. Here is a sample boat charter itinerary for a weekend getaway in Antigua and Barbuda:

Day 1: Falmouth Harbour

This horseshoe bay is not only spacious, but it's stunning with its turquoise waters and vast horizon. There are three large marinas here, and you'll find the most exquisite yachts lined up in their docks. The Harbour has become a bustling destination for the yachting community in the Caribbean due to its calm waters and naturally safe Harbour. You can head inland and soak up the rich history of Antigua's British settlement, enjoy some coffee or cocktails on the waterfront, and enjoy a day of Caribbean culture and hospitality.

Day 2: Great Bird Island

When touristy crowds are not your thing, you will fall in love with Great Bird Island. This island has been hailed as a "desert island dream" due to its quiet, peaceful, and serene environment. The coral reefs are stunning, making the reefs perfect for a few hours of snorkelling, and if you hike the highest peak of the island, you'll be gifted with incredible views of the island. Wildlife enthusiasts will also love being on this island. It is a natural haven for a number of endangered species, such as the West Indian whistling ducks and red-billed tropicbirds. Great Bird Island is a part of the slang group that belongs to the North Sound National Park, making it a protected offshore sanctuary. And if you have time, visit the adjacent Rabbit Island, and Long Island, which are all part of the National Park, featuring unique wildlife, such as the Hawksbill sea turtles.

Day 3: Green Island

On the last day of your weekend boat charter, enjoy the spoils of Green Island, an uninhabited and unspoiled island located on the eastern coast of Antigua. It is a popular snorkelling destination and has plenty of anchorages. It makes it no problem to spend your last night here or look for a spot as you enjoy water toys around the beautiful crystal clear waters. Green Island's left is Nonsuch Bay, which features barrier reef protection and tranquil waters, making it the perfect spot to try standup paddle boarding. Enjoy the last few hours of your weekend boat charter on Green Island's pristine white beach as you sip some cocktails and watch the sunset before getting back on board and preparing to head back to Antigua in the morning.

Antigua yacht charter for a week

And for the ultimate yacht charter holiday in Antigua, a 7-day liveaboard on a luxury yacht will provide you with an opportunity unlike any other. The calm waters of the Caribbean offer you beautiful scenery, endless options for beaches, and a world of water activities that you can enjoy to your heart's content. Here is a sample itinerary for a one-week liveaboard in Antigua:

Day 1: Galleon Beach on Freeman Bay

Enjoy a day of peace and tranquillity in this secluded sanctuary. Enjoy the crooked palm trees and spend a day relaxing around, swimming, fishing, or snorkelling.

Day 2 & 3: Half Moon Bay and Jolly Harbor

Day 5 & 6: Barbuda

Most of these yachts are berthed in Falmouth Harbour marina, which offers 60 berths for boats up to 100 meters, while Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour offers over 50 berths for yachts up to 91 meters. A luxury yacht charter in Antigua is the perfect epitome of a tropical cruising holiday around the islands. It is the best and only way to truly experience the region's beauty and spectacular natural offerings.

Day Charter

To charter a yacht means to rent it for the day, (or longer,) in order to enjoy a multitude of sights, sounds and experiences which would not be visible, or apparent to you on dry land.

Antigua and Barbuda are to be found in the centre of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean. Antigua is approximately 14 miles long by 11 miles wide and is the largest of the Leeward Island, (which are English speaking, making for ease of communication.) Barbuda is around 30 miles north of Antigua and both islands enjoy superbly temperate climates.

Put these two crucial ingredients together and you have the perfect recipe for your next memorable vacation. When searching for the perfect break, look no further than an Antigua day charter which would give you the opportunity to see for yourself the beauty that is Antigua and Barbuda.
