Explore Sailing Voyages in Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬

Set off early. Put in 2 reefs and small jib. Experienced big swells and winds of 20-25kts but fortunately on beam reach. Generally sailed at 7+kts - hit 10.2kts surfing down a wave. Got drenched by a major squall . Picked up last remaining mooring ball in Deshaies Bay. Very relaxed little town.

Stronger winds and bigger swells today. Very choppy waves leaving Green Island. Run down the coast just on the jib. Pulled into Nelson’s for pre provisiong and checkout before Guadalupe.

Rough night listening to the party at the resort on the beach that went until 1am. Set off on tight reach all the way to the south western tip of Antigua in one long tack. Wind about 15-18kts. Swells built from 1.5 to 2.5m. Go into Rickets Harbour on Green Island around 3pm. Beautiful secluded bay but quite small and 4 other boats already anchored so spent some time figuring out best spot to anchor in case of stronger winds forecast for tonight.

Left Dickenson Bay on broad reach for about 3nm to avoid reefs and then headed up to about 60 degrees AWA. Wind strengthened to 15-20kts with swell of 8’ to 10’. Sailed at 6 to 8kts. Got in just after lunch anchored off the gorgeous beach on Cocoa Point in 15ft of water

Fast reach the coast in 14-20mts of breeze with flat seas. Reached 7,8kts. After St Johns headed closer to the wind to eventually tack into Dickensons Bay. Anchored on northern end in decent shelter. Picked up Pete from the beach to join us.

Short run down from Deep Bay for a lunch stop. Picked up mooring ball just off the resort beach.
