By Frances and Michael Howorth

Antigua has a choice of bases from which to start a bareboat charter a a bareboat yacht and both Catamarans and Monohulls are available. The island has much to offer those seeking to sail here and visit nearby islands.  Drag your self away from the many diverse attractions ashore and heading north sail safely inside Cades Reef into Carlyle Bay, Jolly Harbour or Hermitage Bay just some of the many rewarding anchorages on this coast. 

Many bays have hotels ashore that welcome visiting yacht folk. Take the opportunity to sail into the nation’s capital St John’s. Dockage here is free for small yachts and it gives the crew a great opportunity to discover the delights town has to offer the visiting tourist.
