Departing every week during the year - choose from a variety of Itineraries
SAMPLE ANTIGUA ITINERARY
| Day 1 | UK to Antigua and transfer to Jolly Harbour marina for embarkation. After a refreshing cocktail, your yacht will leave the harbour for an overnight anchorage and dinner beneath the stars. |
| Day 2 | Following breakfast, we set sail for either Deep Bay or Dickenson Bay. If you wish to participate in the handling of the yacht and sails, you can do so, but if you prefer, just lie back and relax. It is all up to you. In Deep Bay you can relax on the Beach, take a short hike up to historic Fort Barrington or snorkel. A sumptuous lunch is served onboard before we, again, set sail along the northern shores and stop at Long Island, home of the exclusive Jumby Bay Resort. |
| Day 3 | We set sail to Shell Beach on Maid Island where your Captain will show you the spectacular Shell Wall. We then move to Red Head Reef where lunch will be served onboard. After lunch, you can snorkel, swim, dive or just do some plain old-fashioned relaxing! In the afternoon we move position over to Great Bird Island. After Sundowners, the barbeque is lit, and we will serve another wonderful dinner at this stunning location. |
| Day 4 | It’s time to gently make our passage through the narrow reefs leading out to the Atlantic Ocean and eastern side of Antigua, setting sail to beautiful Green Island. On arrival we will have lunch followed by some great snorkeling and a chance to go ashore. In the afternoon, it’s a lovely sail to English Harbour, home of Nelsons Dockyard and the English naval base in years gone by. |
| Day 5 | After a morning at Galleon Beach, where Divers and Snorkelers can explore the Pillars of Hercules, your choice is either a small walk or a short sail to Falmouth Harbour where you can take in “lifestyles of the rich and famous” with a stroll around the dockyard and a look at the spectacular mega yachts in Falmouth Harbour. We anchor at Pigeon Beach for Lunch. Carlisle Bay is the next stop, after a leisurely sail, where another sumptuous dinner from our galley is served (often fresh fish that we have caught earlier in the day). Cocktails will be served on the yacht as the sun sets over another perfect, West Indian day. |
| Day 6 | After breakfast, time for a quick snorkel or swim, before we set sail for Five Islands. A secluded Group of Islands where we will have Lunch at Heritage Bay. Beachcombing, snorkeling and relaxing, are the order of the day! After a nice Cocktail we will have dinner aboard. |
| Day 7 | In the morning, we take a long sail to Cades Reef on the Western side of Antigua. Here, we will drop anchor and spend the rest of the morning exploring the inner reef - where we often see sting rays and harmless reef sharks - and round off with another wonderful lunch before heading back to our base in the marina. As it is the last evening of the cruise, guests dine ashore at one of the restaurants in or around the Jolly Harbour area. |
| Day 8 | Breakfast onboard, and it is time to gather your belongings and memories. Your crew will arrange transport back to the airport before exchanging fond farewells. |
