Antigua Charter Yacht Show 2025: Superyachts.com’s Official Round-Up
As the 64th Antigua Charter Yacht Show draws to a close, Superyachts.com looks back on another unforgettable edition that once again transformed Nelson’s Dockyard, Falmouth Harbour, and Antigua Yacht Club into a dynamic showcase of luxury, innovation, and Caribbean spirit.
The 64th Antigua Charter Yacht Show ran from 4–9 December 2025, once again uniting brokers, captains and industry professionals across Nelson’s Dockyard, Falmouth Harbour Marina and Antigua Yacht Club Marina. Framed by Antigua’s tropical backdrop and steady trade winds, the docks hosted some of the winter season’s most eye‑catching charter yachts, including 80m BATELLO, 73m STARFIRE fresh from a transformative refit, 67m AMOR A VIDA making her world premiere, and 63m SOUNDWAVE unveiling an extensive refurbishment.
Before the show officially opened, Superyachts.com set the tone with an evening that brought the island’s energy to the fore at Catherine’s Café on Pigeon Point Beach. Crews from a selection of attending yachts gathered for the Superyachts.com Sunset Showdown, a pre‑show crew party that paired light‑hearted beach games and tug‑of‑war with barefoot dancing in the sand, showcasing Antigua’s off‑duty lifestyle exactly as charter guests experience it.
Once lines were cast and the show was underway, attendees enjoyed six days of yacht viewings, broker meetings and dockside hospitality across the three marinas. The atmosphere was characteristically Antiguan: relaxed yet purposeful, with the island’s “land of sea and sun” identity reflected in everything from casual lunch meetings on board to sunset cocktails overlooking English Harbour.
As the horns sounded to mark the end of yacht viewings and the final parties drew to a close, Antigua once again affirmed its role as a cornerstone of the winter charter calendar. For Superyachts.com, ACYS 2025 was not only a chance to connect with the global charter community, but also to celebrate the island’s unique blend of natural beauty, warm hospitality and world‑class yachting: on the docks, on the water, and barefoot in the sand.
We at Superyachts.com were delighted to attend such an incredible charter show to mark the end of 2025, and cannot wait for the 65th edition.
