In the heart of the Leewards, Antigua and Barbuda pair history with natural beauty. Antigua is famed for its 365 beaches and the historic charm of English Harbour, while Barbuda remains an unspoiled paradise where pink sands stretch for miles and frigatebirds soar over quiet lagoons.
Antigua and Barbuda sit at the heart of the Leewards, offering a mix of sailing heritage, natural beauty, and easy passages. Antigua is famous for its 365 beaches – one for every day of the year – and for English Harbour, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Nelson’s Dockyard remains the Caribbean’s best-preserved Georgian naval base. Today the harbor is a vibrant yachting hub, alive with regattas, waterside restaurants, and a deep sense of history. Beyond the harbor, palm-lined bays and sheltered coves wrap the coastline, each one offering another spot to drop anchor and dive into warm, clear seas.
Barbuda, just a short sail north, reveals a striking contrast. Here, pink-sand beaches stretch for miles with hardly another soul in sight, and Codrington Lagoon shelters one of the Caribbean’s largest frigatebird colonies. Life moves at a slower pace, with unspoiled nature as the main attraction. Together, Antigua and Barbuda deliver the perfect pairing: one island vibrant with culture and sailing life, the other a sanctuary of quiet beauty. For charter guests, it means days that flow easily between exploration, relaxation, and pure Caribbean escape.
Begin in English Harbour, where Georgian-era history meets bustling yachting life. Cruise to secluded bays along Antigua’s coast, swim in waters glowing at golden hour, and unwind in anchorages lined with palms. A short hop north brings you to Barbuda, where Codrington Lagoon shelters one of the Caribbean’s largest frigatebird colonies, and pink sands stretch as far as the horizon.
Trade winds and tropical warmth
Expect consistent temperatures between 77 and 86°F, with steady trade winds ideal for sailing. Peak season runs December through April. May, June, and November offer a slower pace and strong value. Hurricane season is June to November, with the highest risk late summer.
A charter here blends Antigua’s vibrant sailing culture with Barbuda’s natural serenity. Anchor in historic harbors, snorkel colorful reefs, or wander pink sands where it feels like you have the island to yourself. The short passages and well-placed moorings make this an inviting destination for both seasoned sailors and those new to the Caribbean.
