Where Charters Went
Yacht charter overnight stops in Antigua and Barbuda
Here is where charter yachts tracked by AIS spent their nights on round trips from Antigua and Barbuda during the 2025-26 winter season. The heat map brings those recorded overnight stops together so you can compare past activity with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Where charter yachts spent their nights
Deep Bay and Nelson's Dockyard led the overnight stops, followed by Falmouth Harbour and Pauls Bay. Dickinson Bay was the most common last night. The furthest straight-line point from base was under 20 nm on 59% of trips, with another 24% reaching 20 to 40 nm.

The marina & destination
Antigua, Jolly Harbour Marina
Based at Antigua, Jolly Harbour Marina , Caribbean . BOTERO is operated by Dream Yacht Charter.
Good to know
- Location
- Antigua, Jolly Harbour Marina · Caribbean
- Licences
- No formal sailing licence required for most charters: operators verify experience via your sailing CV plus a brief on-water handover. A skipper can be added for £150-250 per day.
- Cancellation
- Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).
Getting there
Flights to Caribbean
The nearest international airports for this base, with a quick note on which suits which marina. Final transfer arrangements are confirmed at quote time.
Direct BVI arrival: no inter-island ferry needed. Limited flights; many people connect via San Juan or St Thomas.
BVI alternative via Puerto Rico: direct flights from most major US/UK cities, then a short hop to Tortola. Often cheaper than EIS.
Leeward Islands hub: Antigua, Barbuda, charter to St Martin or St Barths.
Grenadines arrival: Bequia and Tobago Cays charters start here. Limited but improving connections.
Possible routes
BVI & the Caribbean
