Antigua and Barbuda offer an exceptional setting for a Caribbean wingfoil cruise. Reliable trade winds, warm water and short sailing distances between many of the spots allow us to combine frequent sessions with relaxed life aboard the catamaran.
The varied coastline provides everything from protected flat-water bays to open-water freeriding and longer downwinders. Many locations are accessible only by boat, allowing you to discover uncrowded wingfoil spots surrounded by turquoise water, reefs and remote beaches.
Launching directly from the catamaran also makes wingfoiling particularly convenient. There is no need to carry a foil through shallow water or handle the mast close to a crowded beach—the equipment can be prepared aboard and launched in suitable water depth.
Not included: Flights, airport transfers, alcoholic drinks, restaurant visits, travel insurance, rental equipment and lessons.
Discover some of the anchorages and wingfoiling spots you may visit during our Antigua and Barbuda cruise. The exact itinerary remains flexible and is adapted to the current wind, weather and sea conditions, as well as the experience and preferences of the group.
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.
Cades Reef is our first stop of the Cruise and just one hour sail away from Jolly Harbour. Cades is a horseshoe shaped reef, on which inside you´ll have a nice anchorage, a perfect snorkel spot on the outside of the reef, as well as spectacular Kitesurf and Wingfoil Conditions.
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.
Antigua and Barbuda offer a varied selection of wingfoiling conditions, ranging from protected flat-water bays to open-water freeriding, small waves and longer downwinders. Warm water, steady trade winds and uncrowded locations make the area particularly enjoyable for exploring by wing and catamaran.
There is no minimum foiling level required to join the cruise. However, guests should be able to control their wing, sail upwind independently and return safely to the yacht. This can also be done on a larger beginner board without flying on the foil.
Launching directly from the catamaran makes access especially convenient, as there is no need to carry the board and long foil mast through shallow water near the beach.
There’s no better way to begin your wingfoil holiday in Antigua and Barbuda than aboard our yacht. Just moments after setting sail, you’ll feel completely relaxed and connected to the ocean. A typical day aboard our catamaran starts with a refreshing swim in crystal-clear, 26-degree waters, while the crew prepares your breakfast.
After breakfast, we’ll head into our first wingfoiling session of the day.
At midday, we set sail again, and while you enjoy a delicious snack on deck, we make our way to the next anchorage and a new wingfoil spot.
As the sun sets, everyone gathers onboard for a sundowner drink, sharing stories from the day’s sessions, before enjoying a delightful dinner under the Caribbean sky.

The short answer? Pack less than you would for a typical beach vacation. For your wingfoil cruise, all you really need is high-quality sunscreen, a hat, and a Lycra shirt for sun protection during sessions. A few boardshorts or bikinis, some T-shirts, and flip-flops will go a long way. Bring a windbreaker or light jumper for cooler evenings. If possible, use ocean-friendly shampoo and soap, as everything goes straight into the sea. A refillable water bottle is highly recommended. Please pack in soft, collapsible bags to allow easy storage. And don´t forget your passport.
