Antigua

Dickenson Bay, located in the north of Antigua, is a beautiful stretch of white sand. Here you will find one of Antigua’s premier beaches to start your journey.

Aside from gorgeous coast, there are a number of bars and restaurants where you get a nice dinner and watch the sunset.

On Day 2, our Antigua sailing itinarary will head to Barbuda. Visiting Low Bay, the most famous beach on Barbuda, to lay out on the soft pink sand. While you’re here you should visit the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, which is home to about 100, 000 birds. You must arrange tours in advance. This can be done through many local hotels and marinas.

Next stop, is the famous Coco Point. Here, on the southernmost tip of Barbuda, you will find a 2.5 mile stretch of white sand. The beach is a great length and width. The waters of Coco Point offer safe, reef-protected swimming and snorkeling.

For day 4 of the Antigua sailing itinerary, you will split your time between Green Island and Nonsuch Bay. Green Island is completely uninhabited.

This stop will be more populated and you will find plenty to do. Visit 40Knots for kitesurfing lessons, and then grab dinner and drinks on the island.

Day 5 will be spent at English Harbour, which is a major part of Antigua’s colonial history. There are a number of forts that can be toured. These give a great insight into Antigua’s past military defenses. You will dock at Nelson’s Dockyard, which is the only surviving 18th-century naval dockyard in the world.

Sadly, as it is your last day on our Antigua sailing itinerary, it’s time to return your yacht. Head back to Jolly Harbour by the end of the day.
