The two separate islands that make up the joint country of Antigua and Barbuda may be within a 30 mile easy reach of each other, but they are world’s apart when it comes to character and lifestyle. Antigua is a party place where you can join the locals in a ‘jump-up’, dance to steel drums all night and enjoy duty-free shopping and all kinds of watersports. The unspoiled sister island of Barbuda with perfect pink sandy beaches and wild birds is where to go when you really want to get away from it all.
With warm, steady trade winds and so many idyllic safe harbors, Antigua is a fantastic yachting destination. Neighboring Barbuda is so undeveloped that it sometimes seems deserted, a tranquil paradise with pink beaches and complete solitude. Both islands offer a great range of anchorages.
Antigua Race Week
This local sailing week has evolved into an international event attracting competitors from all over the world. Thousands flock to enjoy the party atmosphere and the non-stop social scene. The boats involved are packed with Olympic and round the world sailors so it’s a chance to compete against the cream of the crop.
Racing enthusiasts return year after year from all over the world for this major event in the worldwide yachting calendar to compete in the perfect conditions of warm, steady trade winds. Click here for more details.
Provisioning
Provisioning can be done locally at either of the nearby mini-markets located approximately 5 and 10 minutes from the base, but for a wider range of fresh produce it is best to head for the markets of the capital, St. John's, where you’ll find several supermarkets. Or, make it easy on yourself and use Sunsail's online provisioning service where you can shop online to have your items delivered right to your yacht.
