Antigua is one of the most well known yachting islands in the Caribbean. This British based colony offers all the main types of yacht charters such as motor, sailing, crewed yachts, catamarans, power boat, sailboat, luxury yachts and off course super yacht charters. Located half way down the Leeward Islands of the Eastern Caribbean chain, Antigua is a hive of the yacht charter activity. Many yacht charters begin with the glistening beaches and highlife of Antigua before sailing northwest toward the Virgin Islands or south toward the Windward Islands. Sailing and weather conditions around Antigua are excellent with an annual rainfall averaging only 45 inches, making it the sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean Islands. The northeast trade winds are nearly constant year round, wavering only in September. Antigua's coastline consists of miles of white sandy beaches, coves and secluded anchorages - ideal for any for yacht charter vacation.
