408  Crewed Luxury Yachts for Charter in Antigua

Antigua Yacht Charters

An Antigua luxury yacht charter offers unbelievable natural beauty and historical landmarks that are unrivalled in the Leeward Islands . Designer shops and lavish restaurants can be found within enchanting streetscapes of pastel facades. Once the Caribbean base of the British Navy, Antigua now boasts both a vibrant culture and a huge variety of beaches to offer a relaxing, sun-soaked charter vacation.

Antigua Luxury Yacht Charter An island with a great nautical heritage, Antigua is home to the only Georgian dockyard in the world. Over a hundred Antigua beaches of powder-soft sand, secret coves and turquoise blue waters are set against a backdrop of volcanic hills and surrounding islands. The A-list population of the island enjoy an average yearly temperature of 28°C, which only reduces to 25°C in January. A summer charter is particularly preferable with 8 hours of sunshine a day and the temperature of the Caribbean Sea around 30°C.

Luxury Yacht Charters in Antigua Antigua luxury yacht charters often start at the popular Jolly Harbour Marina before visiting Dickenson Bay and neighbouring island Barbuda, later stopping at Green Island and the world-famous Falmouth Harbour. Antigua offers stunning Baroque architecture, a National Park and some of the Caribbean’s best diving sites but is most famously home to Captain Nelson’s dockyard which provides a truly unforgettable charter experience. 

Yacht Charters in Antigua

Named Sunsail’s ‘Destination of the Month’ for November, Antigua is certainly one of the finest Caribbean hot spots to enjoy during the winter. Whilst the weather reaches its peak temperatures in the months between December and April, the charter grounds are typically busier. With this in mind, visiting during the off-season means guests can enjoy some tranquility whilst still indulging in an inviting climate.

Charter Itineraries in Antigua With the Monserrat islands south of Antigua, neighbouring St. Kitts, St. Barts , St. Martin and Barbuda, an Antigua yacht charter offers a wealth of opportunities. The unique character of these islands is what makes Antigua such a popular superyacht destination. Parts of the Leeward Islands, such as St. Barts and the Virgin Islands , are particularly popular charter destinations due to their glamour and vibrant culture.

See Why We're the Best Yacht Charter in Antigua! ★★★★★

We had a super day on Jabberwocky. Nice boat, very friendly and helpful people. It included a tasty lunch and an open bar.

Our party was of four adults on the sail boat and it was an amazing time. Simon and Michael were the BEST and extremely knowledgeable about sailing and had some interesting stories as well! The drink were always full and they gave us some snacks as well for our 4 hour charter. Highly recommend!!

Simon and Amanda were amazing hosts for our group of 8. We had a great day touring Cades Reef and Carlisle Bay. They are both very knowledgeable, friendly and fun! Thanks for a great time! Dave and Jen

My friends and I went to Antigua to celebrate our 60th birthdays. While looking for an excursion we debated between a group tour and private charter but wanted a little bit of luxury so we booked the Jabbercat and it was the best day of our trip! Captain Simon, Amanda and Michael were warm and welcoming and made us feel so special! The six of us snorkeled, fished and floated for a day, enjoying the scenery and relaxing. Lunch was delicious and the beverages were plentiful. If you are thinking of a charter I highly recommend you pamper yourself and contact them - you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing amenities, great food, and better people. We will be coming back every year and will only book the charter with them!

My wife and I sailed with Simon and Amanda back in September and we still think about this magical day! The amazing views, the fantastic lunch, and the delicious rum punch made for a birthday I will never forget. Highly highly recommend this excursion and we will be sure to book again next time we are back!

Antigua Yacht Charter Enquiry

Nick, As Cameroon has said, it was indeed a great 10 day charter and I am sure the rest of our party would like to join Sue and I to add “due to an exceptional crew – who worked long hours to high standards, were pleasant with nothing being too much trouble. The food was exceptional and wine was spot on every time. Nicolai, their crew member, added a great dimension in terms of service. He worked tirelessly, with great charm and was a fantastic teacher on the wake board. The fishing aspect was a superb bonus enjoyed by all. SY TIGER LILY / 10 day New year Antigua & BVIs

Types of Yacht Charter in Antigua

At The Moorings, we understand that everyone is different and believe that you deserve to enjoy a unique, exclusive sailing experience that caters exactly to your individual requirements. This is why we offer several charter options, from bareboat to skippered charters, so that you can explore the delights of Antigua in your own way.

Antigua Bareboat Charters

Embrace life on the open waters and take the helm on an exciting Antigua bareboat charter. Without a crew on board with you, it will be your responsibility to guide yourself around Antigua and surrounding islands, although you have our full support every step of the way, from your pre-charter briefing to our 4-hour commitment.  

Along with the added responsibility, Antigua bareboat charters often come with a greater level of privacy and intimacy. In essence, a bareboat yacht charter offers the chance to immerse yourself in the true essence of sailing, self-discovery, and exploration, creating lifelong memories to cherish forever.

Skippered Yacht Charters in Antigua

Skippered yacht charters offer the very best of both worlds when it comes to sailing in Antigua. You will be joined by one of our experienced skippers who will navigate the crystal clear Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean while you relax up on deck as a couple, sip cocktails with friends or play games with family. All you have to do is take in the breathtaking views as you sail around Antigua and Barbuda.

However, what makes a skippered charter in Antigua special is that you can choose how long you hire your skipper for which means you can still take the helm and challenge yourself for part of your sailing vacation.

Are you looking for the ultimate all-inclusive sailing vacation? We offer crewed yacht charters in destinations such as Grenada , Croatia and Thailand .

Set sail on one of our state-of-the-art yachts in Antigua

What Guests are Saying

Antigua is amazing. The Moorings base in English Harbour is in one of the most spectacularly beautiful locations anywhere. The Moorings staff were exceptionally helpful, especially Britiney and Jerome. Our boat was a 3-cabin, 40-foot (39+ ft) Leopard catamaran that was approximately 4 years old. It had been chartered many times, judging by the hours on the engines, but it was , for the most part, still in excellent condition and handled very well on our sail to Guadeloupe and Les Saintes. Boating is synonymous with small mishaps or questions of one kind or another, but we managed them with little trouble and a few phone calls back to the base. Cell coverage was surprisingly good everywhere we went, including the open water between Antigua and Guadeloupe. One tip: if you don’t have to, avoid traveling to another country on your charter: we spent many extra dollars and a great deal of lost time clearing out and in and out and in again. The process is slow and your crew must stay locked up on the boat while the captain goes ashore to do the paperwork. And sometimes the customs and immigration officials are very busy and have limited hours. The weather was superb. Good winds, plenty of sunshine, and temperatures between the low to mid seventies at night and the mid eighties during the day. Snorkeling at Pigeon Island in Guadeloupe is a unique experience. It’s like swimming in a tropical-fish aquarium. Amazing. Bring plenty of sunscreen—the kind that is reef- and coral friendly is a must. Highly recommended.

There were a couple of hiccups but the Moorings staff bent over backwards to make everything right. Britiney the site manager was exemplary in both customer service and team leadership skills.

It was a great week of sailing around Antigua and crossing to Bermuda. Everything went smooth with no bad surprises. The Moorings Base staff were impeccable, responsible and polite. The bare sailboat we chartered worked almost perfect. It had a couple of minor things that were broken, but it didn’t affect us, and in our experience, that is typical of a chartered boat. We would do it again.

We were a week sailing on a Moorings 45 foot catamaran from the Antigua base. The manager of the base, Brittany, the dock support team and our Moorings sourced skipper, Kishawn, were excellent. The boat was in very good condition, clean and comfortable. The base was well organized and clean, in the beautiful location of English Harbor. It makes for a wonderful week exploring the coastline, beaches and harbors of Antigua.

Love it! Everything from the marina, to the team of awesome employees, to the vessel, to the location, and all the sailing we did. Loved it! Thank you!!

We had a lovely trip to Antigua. Brittany and Bob, at the base, were wonderful. Brittany did a great job checking in on us and helping us when our generator was not running. Bob did a wonderful chart review and boat check. The base at English Harbour is much smaller than the BVI but is historical and beautiful. Our boat had electrical problems but we managed to overcome the issues and made the best of it! Antigua is beautiful with turtles everywhere! Will definitely like to return in the future!

Antigua and Barbuda Yacht Charter

Top antigua anchorages and their features.

Not only will you see gorgeous beaches (365 ! one for every day of the year) and natural wonders — Antigua also has beautiful anchorages.

Book the private excursion you’ve been dreaming of — hop from one island and enjoy attractions on and off the shores.

Green Island

Located on the east coast of Antigua, the Green Island is hard to beat when it comes to beauty. It’s a must visit for every Antigua and Barbuda yacht charter .

From the English Harbour, it is just 8 miles to windward, but getting there can be a bit hard when the trade winds are blowing.

The mainland is exclusive to the members of the Mill Reef Club, but the north and northwest side is open to the public and for yachtmen’s use. Nevertheless, the solitude you can experience on the white beaches will make the trip worth it.

On top of that, you can access Harmony Hall, an art gallery/craft shop and restaurant complex, through the dinghy dock on the west.

Five Islands

Do you want to escape the crowd? Drop anchor at the Five Islands. You will find five beaches to explore.

At the entrance of the bay, there are two anchorages that can accommodate larger yachts. They can be uncomfortable anchorages, however, they can be manageable during an occasional groundswell. Now, there’s a nice anchorage at the Maiden Island.

At the head of the bay, you can get a tan on the secluded beach. You can soak in the shallow waters, which is 6 feet to be exact.

The coast along the Five Island Harbour is a superstar with its many coves, beaches with turquoise waters, and fancy resorts. Enjoy them all once you book an Antigua yacht charter .

The only anchorage in this 300-acre private island, the Jumby Bay features a sandy bottom that shoals towards the shore. 100 feet from the shore, boats drawing eight feet can drop anchors.

The island has a luxury hotel, Jumby Bay Island. It is also home to members of the Jumby Bay Club, including Baron Sainsbury of Turville David Sainsbury and merchant banker Sir Roland Franklin.

Arrange private sea excursions and lounge under the Caribbean sun. Snorkel, dive, and explore the treasures the small island has to offer.

Falmouth Harbour

Located on the southern coast and west of the English Harbour, this natural, horseshoe-shaped bay is the largest in Antigua.

Anchoring is possible anywhere, except for the channels and the exclusion area of the marinas and the Antigua Yacht Club.

When entering the harbour, watch out for the Bishop Shoal, east of the entrance. Marked by a large, red buoy, it is almost always easy to spot except when the water is at its calmest and waves break over it.

Keep in mind that the colours of the buoy follow the American system, where the green buoys are to port and the red ones are to starboard on entry.

English Harbour

Only a walking distance from the Falmouth Harbour, the English Harbour is a beautiful spread with a rich historical background.

It’s name originates from the British Royal Navy’s base of operations during the 18th century.

Nelson’s Dockyard, it’s best-known spot, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the site, you will find restored historical buildings. You will also get to know other historical facts that date back to the dockyard’s colonial period.

Meanwhile, did you know that docking regulations mandate that boats either come stern to the quay or off the channel?

Yachts are required to anchor at Freeman’s Harbour and raise the Q flag. Only the captain can go ashore to clear a yacht charter.

Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.

You can book safely and securely online directly on this website. It provides live availability and instant booking confirmation so you can plan the rest of your stay knowing that your charter is secured. 50% of the cost of the tour plus booking fee is taken at time of booking, the balance is due on the morning of the tour, or you can call or WhatsApp us on the number below and we can take your details from you. The balance is charged to your card on the day of the tour.

Our current launch spot is located in Jolly Harbour, on the SeaDream dock, right in the middle of the commercial centre.  We do not operate a shuttle service, but if you require hotel or port pick up then we can organise that for you at an additional cost, the rate depends on location and number of guests,  and we can add that to your booking.  There is parking near our dock.

Your private charter time starts at the time as stated during booking. Morning or 6 hour tours start at 10.00am and Sunset cruise start time is dependent upon the season. the start time should be stated in your booking confirmation., 

You will need a bathing suit, towel, sunscreen (no spray cans please, that stuff, although quick and handy is awful for the boat and even worse for the environment!) and sunglasses. Most people wear their bathing suit under their clothes when they arrive to save time, although there are changing facilities on the boat.

Both of our vessels have powerful engines to ensure that we get safely to our destination, whatever the weather. Antigua is located in the tropics. As such, we can often receive the blessing of a "lickle rain'. Don't worry, it won't spoil your fun! If the weather conditions mean that it is unsafe for us to reach our planned destination then we may offer an alternative stop in a more secluded cove, reschedule, or offer a full refund.

Our motor yacht is far more stable than a mono-hull sailboat, and handles the waters around Antigua with ease. Our Catamaran is a narrow hulled performance car, that cuts through the water much smoother than a regular car. However, if you usually get seasick then we recommend you take non-drowsy seasickness medication such as dramamine or bonine 1 hour before boarding. Once aboard then we recommend you drink plenty of water and ginger ale to help. 

You can advise us of any special dietary requirements when you book and we will contact you to discuss your options. We MUST be advised in advance of any food allergies.

If we need to cancel your charter due to bad weather or due to any unforeseen circumstances then we will issue an immediate and full refund of any monies paid.

If you need to cancel then you can cancel with a full refund providing that you give us at least 7 days notice before the date that your charter was due to take place. A cancellation within 7 days of the date of the charter will for any reason will mean that we have to charge the full amount due to your card. In this age of travel uncertainty we highly recommend that you take out travel insurance before you leave your home country. The only exception to this will be if you are planning this trip as part of a cruise ship excursion and your cruise ship fails to port in Antigua on the day of the tour. In this case, we will offer a full refund.

Please note that our departure times are local time, which may differ from cruise ship time.

Life changes, we get it. Maybe you met some new friends on your trip that want to share this experience with you? Maybe you fell out with your vacay buddies? 

Please let us know as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours so that we can try to accommodate your request.
