Antigua’s shoreline is washed almost exclusively by the Caribbean Sea, is part of the Windward Islands, and is hugged by 95 miles of superb coastline. Her sister Barbuda, is surrounded by protective reefs and features a large lagoon and Frigate Bird sanctuary. The islands are best known for their friendly and welcoming people, pink and white-sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and the most satisfying and enjoyable climate in the world.

WE OFFER YOU TWO EXCITING ITINERARIES FOR ANTIQUA & BARBUDA!
ITINERARY NO 1 IS FOR 7 NIGHTS/8 DAYS.
DAY 1: We welcome you in Antigua at English Harbour with lunch on board Namaste. Soon after, we will set sail for Carlisle Bay and anchor for the night. You’ll find a quiet beach with one end occupied by the high-end Carlisle Bay Resort, which offers a public spa. You can also take a walk on the beach or enjoy water sports before admiring the sunset.
DAY 2: After breakfast, enjoy a nice sail to Cades Reef, a popular designated underwater park, for snorkeling. For lunch, we head to Crab Hill beach, which is known for its beautiful beaches and unique beach bars. Then, we’re off to Five Islands Harbour to enjoy the evening.
DAY 3: We set sail to Deep Bay for lunch and afterward we can snorkel the wreck of the Andes, which sits in less than 30 feet of water. You can enjoy dinner ashore at one of the many great restaurants at Dickenson Bay, which will be our last stop of the day.
DAY 4: Today, we will enjoy a beautiful sail to North Sound. This peaceful wildlife haven is protected by a reef and myriad offshore, uninhabited islands. Dinghy to Great Bird Island for a short hike to the top.
DAY 5: Today, we have a long day of sailing to reach the unique and isolated Green Island. Enjoy the peace and quiet and take a nap on the pristine white sand. Green Island is well known as an excellent location for kitesurfing and snorkeling.
DAY 6: Spend more time around Green Island and explore other bays by tender. It is a wonderful location for kayaking, snorkeling, or trying out our 3 Seabobs. Or hop onshore to visit Betty’s Hope, a sugar plantation established in 1650. One of its two sugar mill towers has been fully restored, complete with sails
DAY 7: We set sail for Falmouth Harbour and stop for lunch along the way. Choose to anchor at either Falmouth Harbour or English Harbour. Both of these quaint parts of Antigua invite exploration. Visiting Shirley Heights is considered a must in Antigua. The buildings have been adapted to function as a restaurant and bar, and its famous Sunday evening party is always a hit. Drive up to Shirley Heights and stroll around the old military fortifications. You can view breathtaking scenic landscapes at 360°.
DAY 8: Enjoy breakfast on board and consider a quick hike on Carpenter’s Rock Trail to the Mermaid Pools before your departure.
This itinerary is flexible and can be customized to suit your flight wishes or excursion requests. English and Falmouth Harbour are popular locations for Christmas and New Year’s because these vibrant towns celebrate the holidays with many festivities.
