How to Choose a Boat in Antigua

Quick summary: First decide what kind of vacation you want in Antigua (relaxing stops, active sailing, family or party), the size of your group, and when you’ll go. Then pick a yacht that fits the waters around Antigua, your comfort needs, and the season.

Vacation type — what to aim for

  • Island hopping & relaxing: Catamarans are good choices for smooth anchorages, deck space, and comfort for days spent between Antigua’s bays and beaches.
  • Snorkeling, diving, marine exploration: Choose boats with shallow draft, reliable tenders/dinghies, storage for gear, and good access to reefs and calm coves around Antigua.
  • Active sailing & passages: Monohulls or performance catamarans with solid rigging, navigation gear, and experienced crew help if you want to explore farther or deal with stronger trade winds.

Waters & local areas:

  • Waters around Antigua include protected bays, reefs, and some open sea. Shallow reefs require good charts and boats with draft low enough not to get stuck.
  • English Harbour, Falmouth Harbour, Nonsuch Bay, Carlisle Bay and other anchorages provide sheltered stops. Sailors should be ready for stronger winds and possibly swells when moving between islands or across open stretches around Antigua.

Group size & comfort:

  • Private cabins and heads (bathrooms) matter especially for families or mixed groups. Confirm how many people sleep “comfortably,” not just “maximum capacity.”
  • Catamarans usually offer more communal living space, better balance, and shade, which helps when groups are bigger or want downtime aboard Antigua-bound yachts.

Season & weather:

  • High season (November through May): Best winds and weather in Antigua, with more predictable trade winds, lower rainfall, and calm seas.
  • Shoulder months (May-June): Still good, fewer crowds, slightly more rain, manageable conditions.
  • Off-peak / hurricane season (July-October): More risk of storms, shorter weather windows; plan flexibly, check insurance, and be prepared for occasional disruptions.

Practical checklist before booking:

  • Verify the boat’s draft, safety gear, electronics, tender, anchor setup, and condition. Antigua has some tricky reefs.
  • Decide whether you need a skipper/crew. Even if Antigua bareboat charters don’t always require formal certification, a sailing resume is usually requested.
  • Check provisioning, fuel and water capacity, mooring or docking fees, and services close to your base in Antigua (English Harbour, Jolly Harbour, etc.).

Final tip: Define your style and group size first, then pick boats that match Antigua’s waters and the season. Compare a few yachts about cabin layout, equipment list, and passenger limits before you commit.
