‘When you come to Antigua, you’re coming to paradise’, comments Ann-Marie Martin, National Parks Commissioner, and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. 

Brimming with stunning landscapes and a beach for every day of the year, this Caribbean destination is nothing short of paradise. In episode one of Antigua & Barbuda InDepth, we hear from those at the heart of the island, as they shed a light on what makes Antigua so special as an unmissable charter destination. 

‘The beautiful thing about Antigua is that you can sail around it. There are a number of coves and bays that you can sail into and be almost alone for a whole day or a couple of days’, Hon. Henry James Fernandez, Minister of Tourism, discusses, ‘but it goes way beyond the beaches…’

'Our people are really really welcoming…as we like to say, our people are our ambassadors.’

Not only beautifully picturesque and incredibly welcoming, these islands also offer a diverse and rich cultural history: home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of English Harbour and the iconic 350-year-old Nelson’s Dockyard.

‘The sheer history of Nelson’s Dockyard… when you walk in, it's like going back in time.’ 

Abundant with some of the best cruising waters in the Caribbean, Antigua is not shy of presenting a wealth of superyacht-capable facilities to cater to its attractive surroundings, with several safe harbours and marine facilities located conveniently around the island.

For those looking for adventure further afield from the bustling marina hubs, the viewpoint location of Shirley Heights offers stunning views by day and lively island-style parties by night; or head to the markets to sample the local cuisine.
