General Conditions

In addition to captivating clear-blue waters and short passages between anchorages, an Antigua yacht charter vacation also delivers line-of-sight navigation. Roughly 14 miles long and 11 miles wide, Antigua is enrobed by 54 miles of superior Caribbean coastline blessed with 365 uncrowded and unspoiled beaches.

There are a number of premier marinas with all the modern amenities scattered throughout the cruising grounds, as well as a copious supply of uninhabited harbors and secluded bays just waiting to be explored. An Antigua charter vacation makes it easy to enjoy the best of both worlds – from onshore to on-the-water, from lively to leisurely.

In combination with the carefree vibes, stunning views, and diverse offering of activities, the desirable conditions that persist year-round set Antigua apart as one of the world’s top sailing destinations for charter guests and competitive sailors alike.

Throughout the year, enjoy steady trade winds, warm weather ranging between 77°F – 88°F from day to night, and an idyllic water temperature averaging 81°F. North-easterly winds of about 15 – 20 knots (17 – 23 mph) are the norm from November to May and tidal ranges are typically slight, between 12 to 18 inches.
