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.

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!

Wildlife enthusiasts will also love being on this island. It is a natural haven for a number of endangered species, such as the West Indian whistling ducks and red-billed tropicbirds. Great Bird Island is a part of the slang group that belongs to the North Sound National Park, making it a protected offshore sanctuary. And if you have time, visit the adjacent Rabbit Island, and Long Island, which are all part of the National Park, featuring unique wildlife, such as the Hawksbill sea turtles.
Day 3: Green Island
On the last day of your weekend boat charter, enjoy the spoils of Green Island, an uninhabited and unspoiled island located on the eastern coast of Antigua. It is a popular snorkelling destination and has plenty of anchorages. It makes it no problem to spend your last night here or look for a spot as you enjoy water toys around the beautiful crystal clear waters. Green Island's left is Nonsuch Bay, which features barrier reef protection and tranquil waters, making it the perfect spot to try standup paddle boarding. Enjoy the last few hours of your weekend boat charter on Green Island's pristine white beach as you sip some cocktails and watch the sunset before getting back on board and preparing to head back to Antigua in the morning.
Antigua yacht charter for a week
And for the ultimate yacht charter holiday in Antigua, a 7-day liveaboard on a luxury yacht will provide you with an opportunity unlike any other. The calm waters of the Caribbean offer you beautiful scenery, endless options for beaches, and a world of water activities that you can enjoy to your heart's content. Here is a sample itinerary for a one-week liveaboard in Antigua:
Day 1: Galleon Beach on Freeman Bay
Enjoy a day of peace and tranquillity in this secluded sanctuary. Enjoy the crooked palm trees and spend a day relaxing around, swimming, fishing, or snorkelling.
Day 2 & 3: Half Moon Bay and Jolly Harbor
This beautiful beach is perfect for snorkelling and witnessing exotic birds flying over the waters. A resort is found in this bay, where you can enjoy gourmet food and the magnificent bay views. On the next day, head to Jolly Harbor's island, where you can enjoy a few hours of golf or explore the island on a bicycle, and of course, the white sand beach of Jolly beach's one-mile-long shoreline.
Day 4: Dickenson Bay
One of the most popular beaches in Antigua is Dickenson Bay; this is the region's hub for windsurfing and a prime location for all sorts of water sports activities. The beach has a one-mile coral reef that's perfect for snorkelling enthusiasts.
Day 5 & 6: Barbuda
Head south to Barbuda, which is a 2 to 3 hours cruising adventure from Antigua. This low coral island is blessed with powder white sand beaches and is home to only 1,5000 residents, mostly fishermen. Enjoy the local fishing villages, have some freshly caught seafood, get friendly with the locals, and on the 6th day, head over to the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, where a tour guide can lead you to the protected area. You can watch these beautiful birds nesting and frolic around the protected sanctuary.
Day 7: Morris Bay and English Harbor
Before getting back to the marina, drop by Morris Bay for its secluded beach and fresh drinks on the beach, then make your way to the English Harbor and witness the bustling dock before getting back to St. John to end your one-week liveaboard.
Wedding yacht charter in Antigua and Barbuda
Whether you want a private beach as your backdrop, the horizon over the Caribbean waters, or a simple and intimate ceremony on a yacht's deck, a wedding yacht charter is your best option to have the wedding of your dreams in this region.

A superyacht provides you with everything you need, such as a Jacuzzi, a private chef, and endless options for spontaneous adventures in Antigua's waters. A yacht holiday can range from a weekend excursion or a whole week to 10 days of a Caribbean expedition around the Antigua and Barbuda islands.
Though the islands of Antigua may seem small, two large marinas can be found around the islands. Most of these yachts are berthed in Falmouth Harbour marina, which offers 60 berths for boats up to 100 meters, while Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour offers over 50 berths for yachts up to 91 meters. A luxury yacht charter in Antigua is the perfect epitome of a tropical cruising holiday around the islands. It is the best and only way to truly experience the region's beauty and spectacular natural offerings. What makes a luxury yacht charter in Antigua excellent is its capacity to bring you to other nearby islands outside of the region, such as St. Martin and other Caribbean islands, making it the first stop to your ultimate Caribbean sailing adventure.
The bays and beaches of Antigua and surrounding waters are protected and secluded, and with a climate that provides safe cruising grounds all year round.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 save the online booking fee by calling or whatsapping 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.
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. 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.

The largest yachts owned by tech billionaires, from Mark Zuckerberg to Jeff Bezos
- Megayachts have become a status symbol for the richest of the rich.
- In recent years, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg have splurged on enormous boats.
- These are the biggest yachts owned by tech billionaires.
The average Joe celebrating a personal renaissance after, say, the end of a long-term relationship or when approaching a fresh decade might commemorate it with an ankle tattoo or a sports car. But if you're a billionaire, you may instead spend hundreds of millions on a yacht .
A few years after he and his wife divorced, Jeff Bezos shelled out on a megayacht. Last year, Bezos debuted the 127-meter vessel "Koru," a Māori symbol that signifies a fresh start — perhaps referring to that with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez.
Earlier this year, just before his 40th birthday, Mark Zuckerberg became the rumored owner of a yacht originally built for a Russian oligarch.
Superyachts have increasingly become ultrawealthy status symbols , providing highly secluded leisure and networking sites. They are — even more so than real estate — the single most expensive asset you can own.
"It's a bit of a celebration of your success in life, of wealth," Giovanna Vitelli, the chair of the Azimut Benetti Group, the world's biggest producer of superyachts, told Business Insider.
While many tech billionaires have bought yachts, the richest of the rich, like Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison, have gone bigger. Their boats are virtual palaces at sea, decked with amenities like gyms, spas, pools, nightclubs, and movie theaters.
A look at these megayachts — broadly defined as over 70 meters long, mostly custom-built, and often costing nine figures — offers a glimpse into how the .00001% lives. It's something few others will ever get to experience. Even chartering a yacht of this size for a week typically costs upwards of $1 million.
One major thing that hundreds of millions of dollars can buy is privacy. There are likely yachts that have not been publicly recorded or registered — for example, Evan Spiegel is rumored to own the 94-meter megayacht Bliss. In an industry ruled by discretion , deciphering who owns what is typically an exercise in stringing together many clues.
Here are the largest yachts owned by tech billionaires, listed in order of length.
Jeff Bezos: Koru and Abeona
Amazon founder Bezos' $500 million megayacht, the 127-meter Koru, made a splash last year as she crisscrossed the Mediterranean in her first summer at sea, with her 75-meter support vessel Abeona in tow.
The sailing yacht, which is hard to miss thanks to her massive size and unique design, was host to Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez's famous friends . The couple held an engagement party on board, which reportedly drew guests including Bill Gates, Ari Emanuel, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Just a week later, they were seen on the streets of Dubrovnik, Croatia, with Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, and Usher.
Even before her completion, Koru made headlines. She drew the ire of some Dutch people, who vowed to hurl eggs after she was announced a historic bridge in Rotterdam might be taken apart to allow the Oceanco boat through. Luckily, the shipyard made alternative plans, and an egg crisis was averted.
Among yacht world insiders , Koru is widely praised for her craftsmanship.
"I heard back in 2018 or something that somebody had ordered a classic sailing yacht," one superyacht expert told BI. "You order 125 meters, that's not really going to be classic. But it is. I think it's pretty cool."
Mark Zuckerberg: Launchpad
Earlier this year, the yacht world was rife with rumors that Zuckerberg purchased Launchpad, a 118-meter superyacht originally designed for a sanctioned Russian businessman.
The ship made her maiden voyage in March, going from Gibraltar to St. Maarten and mooring in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Little is known about her interior, but photos show a large swimming pool and helipad. Her price, too, has been kept under wraps but is said to be nine figures.
Eric Schmidt: Whisper
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt made waves last year when he agreed to buy the Alfa Nero , the yacht of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, for $67 million in an auction conducted by Antigua and Barbuda. But he backed out of the deal following legal issues over her true owner. He quietly purchased Kismet instead. The 95-meter-long Lürssen-built boat was formerly owned by the Jacksonville Jaguar's billionaire owner Shahid Khan . Schmidt renamed her Whisper.
The ship can fit 12 guests and a crew of 28, according to Moran Yacht & Ship, which oversaw her construction. She features a master deck with a private jacuzzi, full-service spa, lap pool, movie theater, and outdoor fireplace.
While her final sale price was not public, she was listed for 149 million euros (about $161 million at current exchange rates), and at a charity auction in January, one week aboard the ship went for $2.4 million, according to industry outlet Yacht Charter Fleet.
Barry Diller: Eos
Barry Diller , the chairman of digital media company IAC, co-owns the megayacht Eos with his wife, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg , who is immortalized by a figurehead sculpture by Anh Duong.
One of the largest private sailing yachts in the world, the three-masted Lürssen schooner measures 93 meters long. She took three years to be built before being delivered to Diller in 2009, and since then, little has come to light about her interior and features.
The power couple has hosted many celebrities on the Eos, which spends her summers crisscrossing the Mediterranean and New Year ' s Eve in St. Barts . Over the years, guests have included Oprah Winfrey, Emma Thompson, Anderson Cooper, and Bezos, leading some to believe she provided inspiration for his Koru.
Jim Clark: Athena
Netscape founder Jim Clark purchased the 90-meter sailing yacht Athena in 2004.
"I could easily have built a 50- or 60-meter motor yacht that would have had the same space as Athena, but I was never really interested in building a motor yacht," he told Boat International in 2016. "To my eye, she's one of the most gorgeous large sailing yachts, maybe the most gorgeous large sailing yacht in the world."
Athena has room for 10 guests and 21 crewmembers, and the only change Clark says he'd make in her design is adding more space for his kids.
"If I was forced to change something, I would convert the office on the lower deck into a children's room," he said.
The former Stanford professor tried to sell her at various points — listing her for $95 million in 2012 , $69 million in 2016, and $59 million in 2017 — but she has yet to change hands.
Larry Ellison: Musashi
Oracle founder Larry Ellison has owned several superyachts over the years, including the Katana, the Ronin, and the Rising Sun — which he sold to fellow billionaire David Geffen .
He purchased his current boat, Musashi, in 2011 for a reported $160 million from custom-yacht giant Feadship.
Named after a famous samurai warrior, the 88-meter-long yacht has both Japanese and Art Deco-inspired design elements. She also boasts amenities including an elevator, swimming pool, beauty salon, gym, and basketball court.
Ellison is known for his extravagant spending — private islands, jets, a tennis tournament — and yachting is among his favorite and most expensive hobbies. He took up racing them in the 1990s and financed the America's Cup-winning BMW Oracle Racing team .
Laurene Powell Jobs: Venus
Steve Jobs' wife, investor and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, inherited a nearly finished 78-meter yacht named Venus when the Apple cofounder died in 2011.
After spending years vacationing on Ellison's yachts, Jobs wanted one for himself. He designed Venus with French starchitect and decorator Philippe Starck , and she was worth $130 million at completion.
"Venus comes from the philosophy of minimum," Starck said of her design. "The elegance of the minimum, approaching dematerialization."
Jobs and Starck began working together in 2007, the designer told Vanity Fair , and held monthly meetings over four years. Venus was delivered in 2012 to Jobs' specification: six identical cabins, a design to ensure spaces of absolute silence, and the most up-to-date technology.
"There will never again be a boat of that quality again. Because never again will two madmen come together to accomplish such a task," Starck told the magazine. "It was not a yacht that Steve and I were constructing, we were embarked on a philosophical action, implemented according to a quasi-religious process. We formed a single brain with four lobes."
Charles Simonyi: Norn
Early Microsoft employee Charles Simonyi has purchased two megayachts from the German shipyard Lürssen: the 90-meter Norn and 71-meter Skat.
Delivered in 2023, Norn is full of luxe features, including an outdoor cinema and a pool floor that lifts to become a light-up dancefloor. She shares a militaristic style with Skat , which Simonyi sold in 2021.
Skats's name is derived from the Danish word for treasure, and she had a listing price of 56.5 million euros and was launched in 2002.
"The yacht is to be home away from my home in Seattle, and its style should match the style of the house, adapted for the practicalities of the sea," Simonyi once said .
Sergey Brin: Dragonfly
Google cofounder Sergey Brin has built a flotilla of yachts, boats, and toys known as the "Fly Fleet."
Named after a once-secret Google product , the largest of Brin's armada is the sleek Dragonfly , which boasts a movie theater and a helipad. The 73-meter-long vessel was built by the Australian shipyard Silver Yachts and can fit up to 18 guests and 16 crew members, according to SuperYacht Times.
Also in his fleet is the superyacht Butterfly, a mere 38 meters long. Often moored in the Bay Area, her crewmembers spend their downtime kitesurfing and giving swimming lessons to local kids.
The rest of his marine lineup includes a smaller boat called Firefly, as well as Jet Skis, foilboards, dinghies, and kiteboards. She takes a team of 50 full-time employees to manage, steer, and maintain the entire operation.
