Charter yachts in Antigua and Barbuda from 50,000 euros per week open one of the Caribbean’s most storied sailing destinations to guests aboard compact, well-crewed yachts of 20 to 28 metres. Three yachts are available at this rate from Antigua, each suited to the trade-wind passages and protected anchorages that make this corner of the eastern Caribbean a perennial charter favourite.
The fleet at 50,000 euros per week includes sailing monohulls and small motor yachts capable of reaching Barbuda in a morning passage and returning via Green Island in the afternoon. Cabins for six to eight guests are finished with ensuite heads and air conditioning, and each vessel carries a dinghy for shore landings at beaches and the historic dockyard quays of English Harbour.
The 50,000 euro weekly rate covers crew, insurance and standard equipment. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly 30 percent, around 15,000 euros per week, covers fuel for the itinerary, provisions, marina fees at Falmouth Harbour or English Harbour and water sports. The Antigua charter season runs from December through April, with settled trade winds and low rainfall.
Antiga and Barbuda offer compact, immensely varied cruising at this boat size. Day passages from English Harbour reach the pink sand beaches of Barbuda, the snorkelling reefs of Cades Bay, the anchor in Five Islands Bay and the sheltered overnight anchorage at Nonsuch Bay, all within 30 nautical miles of the island’s south coast.
