Private charters

See Antigua and Barbuda from the Deck of Your Own Yacht

Antigua is one of the Caribbean's best-known sailing islands, with sheltered harbors, reef-protected bays and beaches all the way around its coastline.

A private charter puts that coastline within easy reach. Instead of joining a crowded tour, your group has the yacht, the crew and the day to itself: cruise to a quiet bay, swim and snorkel, have lunch at anchor, or stay out to watch the sun go down.

Yachts Antigua helps you plan the charter around the people coming and the occasion. Tell us your date, group size and what you would like to do, and we will suggest suitable yachts or catamarans and confirm availability, timing, inclusions and price for that specific booking.

Yacht Charter Questions

Quick answers for planning a private charter in Antigua and Barbuda. See the full charter FAQ for more.

What kinds of yacht charters can I arrange in Antigua and Barbuda?

Most requests are for private day charters, half-day cruises, sunset cruises, snorkeling and beach trips, sportfishing outings, and celebrations such as birthdays, proposals, anniversaries and group events. Longer or multi-day trips can also be discussed. Which options are possible depends on the yacht you choose and your dates.

Do I need boating experience to charter a yacht?

No. The charters we arrange are run by the yacht's professional captain and crew, so you can simply relax and enjoy the day. The size of the crew depends on the yacht and is confirmed in your quote.

How much does a private yacht charter in Antigua cost?

There is no single price. The cost depends on the yacht, the length of the charter, the date, your group size and any extras such as food, drinks or decorations. Send us your plans and we will provide a quote for the specific yacht and date you are considering.

How far in advance should I inquire about a charter?

As early as you can, especially for the busy winter season, holidays and major events such as Antigua Sailing Week in late April. Earlier inquiries usually mean more yachts to choose from. Short-notice requests are still worth sending, because availability changes.

How many guests can join a charter?

Every yacht has its own guest limit, so the right vessel depends on your group size. Smaller yachts in our listing suit couples and small groups, while the larger yachts can host bigger parties. Tell us how many people are coming and we will only suggest yachts that can carry your group.

Is the yacht private to my group?

Yes. Yachts Antigua focuses on private charters, which means the yacht and crew are booked for your group rather than shared with other passengers. Your quote will confirm the details for your booking.

When is the best time of year for a yacht charter in Antigua?

Antigua is warm all year. December to April is the drier, busier season with steady trade winds. May to November is quieter, and the Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, so flexible plans are sensible at that time of year.

Can a charter go to Barbuda?

Barbuda lies roughly 27 miles north of Antigua across open water, so a visit usually calls for a longer charter and suitable sea conditions. Whether it is possible depends on the yacht, the length of your trip and the forecast. Ask us and we will tell you what is realistic for your dates.

Are food and drinks included?

It varies by yacht and by package. Some charters include refreshments, while food, drinks and catering may be arranged as extras on others. We confirm exactly what is included, and what can be added, in your quote.

Can I choose where the yacht goes?

Yes, you can tell us the kind of day you want, such as beaches, snorkeling or a sunset view, and any places you would like to see. The final route is decided by the captain, who considers the charter length, the weather and safety on the day.

What happens if the weather is poor on my charter day?

The captain decides whether it is safe to sail and may adjust the route to calmer areas. If a charter cannot go ahead, the options available, such as moving to another date, depend on the terms of your booking, which are explained before you confirm.

How do I request a quote?

Use the inquiry form, call or WhatsApp +1 (305) 515-4735, or email info@YachtsAntigua.com. Include your preferred date, number of guests, the type of charter or occasion and any yacht you are interested in.
