Antigua and Barbuda offer an exceptional setting for exploring the Caribbean by catamaran. White and pink sandy beaches, turquoise water, protected anchorages and a rich maritime culture create the perfect combination of sailing, watersports and relaxed island life.
Antigua is famous for its remarkable variety of beaches and sheltered bays. From quiet coves to long stretches of white sand, each anchorage offers a different perspective on the island and its coastline.
A few hours to the north, Barbuda feels even more remote. Its extensive pink-sand beaches, clear lagoons and largely untouched scenery provide a true escape from busy resorts and mass tourism.
Our Antigua and Barbuda cruises are designed for kitesurfers and wingfoilers, but they are equally enjoyable for non-riding partners, families and anyone looking for an active Caribbean adventure at sea.
Our cruise explores a varied selection of anchorages, reefs, historic harbours and remote islands around Antigua and Barbuda. The itinerary is adapted to the weather, sea conditions and interests of the group, allowing us to select the best route for each trip.
Open the sections below to discover some of the locations you may visit. Detailed information about the local kitesurfing and wingfoiling conditions can be found on our dedicated Antigua Kitesurfing and Wingfoil Cruise pages.
Nestled on Antigua’s sheltered west coast, Jolly Harbour is the ideal starting point for our Cruises and Trips. With its well-equipped marina, easy access from the airport, and a relaxed, friendly vibe, it offers everything you need to get ready for your adventure at sea. From provisioning stores, restaurants, and cafés to customs and immigration services—it’s all conveniently located within walking distance.
The so called Cades Reef is our first stop of the Cruise and just one hour sail away from Jolly Harbour. It is a horseshoe shaped reef, on which inside you´ll have a nice anchorage, a perfect snorkel spot on the outside of the reef, far away from the mainstream of the island.
English Harbour is one of Antigua’s most iconic and historically rich anchorages. Located on the island’s southern coast, it’s home to Nelson’s Dockyard, a beautifully restored 18th-century naval base and UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, it blends British colonial charm with a lively yachting scene, boutique restaurants, and quaint cafes, making it a must-visit stop for any sailor exploring the Caribbean.
Just above the harbour, perched on a hillside, lies Shirley Heights—famous for offering the most breathtaking panoramic views over English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour. The viewpoint is legendary for its Sunday sunset parties, where live steel bands, barbecue smoke, and a warm Caribbean breeze create the perfect island vibe.
Only a short sail from Antigua’s renowned English Harbour, Green Island welcomes you with crystal-clear waters and a tranquil lagoon. We will be anchored right behind the Reef in perfectly calm waters. The Reef offers a great snorkelling opportunity while Green Island itself has beautiful beaches and a stunning sundowner location. On one of the beaches there is a little Caribbean Beach Bar, providing cold drinks as well as local dishes.
From Green Island we set sail towards the huge Lagoon situated in the North of Antigua. Within this vast stretch of perfectly flat water inside the lagoon, there a several islands and anchorages. We will be anchored close to the famous “Hells Gate” Island. The entire area provides lots of opportunities to explore and enjoy the outstanding scenery.
From Hells Gate we set sail for a 3-4 hour crossing to Barbuda. A great time to catch some fresh fish, or to chill on the Trampolin of the Catamaran and watch the Ocean fly by underneath.
Spanish Point on the southern tip of Barbuda is always a highlight of the Cruise. The anchorage inside the Lagoon is a perfect place also for none Kitesurfers or Wingfoilers to have a first Taster Lesson or to try Foiling behind the boat.
Our next stop on Barbuda takes us to Palmetto Point, located at the island’s northernmost tip. Enjoy peaceful, crystal-clear waters and maybe the most perfect white sandy beach you´ve ever seen. You could walk for hours, stop on some local beach bars situated right on the water front and end the day with a Lobster BBQ on the Beach.
Tucked away in the protected waters of Antigua’s northeast coast, the bay surrounding Maiden Island is a true Caribbean treasure. Sheltered by surrounding reefs and dotted with tiny uninhabited islets, this calm and shallow bay offers stunning turquoise water and a peaceful, untouched vibe.
Maiden Island Bay is one of those secret spots that make Antigua feel like your own private island escape.
Sailing around Antigua and Barbuda combines protected coastal cruising with longer open-water passages between the islands. Sheltered bays and lagoons provide relaxed conditions, while the passage to Barbuda adds a genuine sense of offshore adventure.
Guests are welcome to become involved in life under sail. You can help set the sails, take the helm, learn basic navigation or simply relax on deck and enjoy the journey between anchorages.
There’s no better way to kick off your Antigua and Barbuda holiday than by setting sail aboard our yacht. Within minutes of leaving the harbour, you’ll feel a sense of calm and total relaxation. A typical day on our catamaran starts with a leisurely swim in warm, crystal-clear, 26-degree waters at our anchorage, while breakfast is freshly prepared by the crew.
Following breakfast, you can enjoy your first activity or simply relax on deck.
Around midday, we hoist sails again, and as you savor snacks on board, we gently cruise towards the next island and a different anchorage.
At sunset, we come together to toast another beautiful Caribbean day with sundowner drinks on deck, followed by a delicious dinner beneath the stars.
Traveling to Antigua is simple and straightforward. The island is well served by direct flights from the UK, with daily departures during the season. For European visitors, this is often the most convenient and budget-friendly route. Additionally, Antigua has excellent flight connections to the USA, with daily services from multiple major airports.
After landing, it’s just a 30-minute taxi ride to Jolly Harbour, where our crew will be waiting to welcome you aboard. Should you need any support with your travel planning, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us—we’re here to help.
Our first stop lies approximately one hour sailing from Jolly Harbour. Enjoy the gentle motion of the sea as we make our way to a peaceful anchorage surrounded by natural beauty—the perfect start to your island journey.
In short: bring less than you would for a normal beach holiday. Life onboard is simple and relaxed. You’ll want good sunscreen, a hat, and maybe a lightweight long-sleeve shirt to protect yourself from the sun. A few swimwear pieces, casual clothes like T-shirts, and flip-flops are plenty. Pack a windbreaker or jumper for breezy evenings. If you can, choose biodegradable shampoo and soap, since it all flows directly into the ocean. A refillable water bottle is a smart idea. Soft, foldable luggage is best for yacht storage—and of course, don’t forget your passport!
