Antigua and Barbuda / Special Interests / Day Sailing
Many of the sailing trips head to the north-east of Antigua, where there are small islands and cays with calm beaches and snorkelling, and others to Cades Reef in the south-west. The island circumnavigation trip, which takes in a brisk reach on the Atlantic winds as well as on its course around Antigua, is a popular excursion.
Some of the day sailing options on Antigua include:
Ondeck Antigua - Ondeck offers full-day, half-day and sunset cruises that encourage guests to take part and learn all aspects of sailing. They also offer 2 hour “try sailing” tours along with the Antigua Yacht Race experience, using the same yachts and crew that you would experience during Antigua Sailing Week.
Jabberwocky Yacht Charters/Adventure Caribbean Yacht Charter, English Harbour - A private day charter yacht (a 50ft Beneteau) for 2-10 people with sports equipment, gourmet lunch and wine.
Tropical Adventures - They offer the Antigua circumnavigation trip or trips to Barbuda on Excellence, an 80ft power catamaran, and Tiami catamaran cruises to Bird Island or Cades Reef. They also offer private charters.
Wadadli Cats - Popular 60-66ft catamarans offering a choice of day sails that include the 60-mile circumnavigation trip of Antigua. Available for private charters.
