Antigua & Barbuda Day Charters Enjoy a "Day on the water" whilst visiting Antigua and Barbuda
To charter a yacht means to rent it for the day, (or longer,) in order to enjoy a multitude of sights, sounds and experiences which would not be visible, or apparent to you on dry land.
Antigua and Barbuda are to be found in the centre of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean. Antigua is approximately 14 miles long by 11 miles wide and is the largest of the Leeward Island, (which are English speaking, making for ease of communication.) Barbuda is around 30 miles north of Antigua and both islands enjoy superbly temperate climates.
Put these two crucial ingredients together and you have the perfect recipe for your next memorable vacation. When searching for the perfect break, look no further than an Antigua day charter which would give you the opportunity to see for yourself the beauty that is Antigua and Barbuda.

Transport from your hotel or villa can or-course be arranged.
Tailored Exploration – Unlike a standard tour, there is no fixed track. Depending on the winds and your preferences, your captain might navigate toward the calm, crystalline waters of Deep Bay for a morning swim over a shipwreck, or head windward to the pristine, uninhabited shores of Green Island.
Gourmet Island Dining – Expect more than a simple lunch. Most Nicholson Yacht Day Charters feature a chef-prepared meal showcasing local flavors, think fresh-caught lobster, tropical fruit platters, and different bar options. You can choose to dine on the shaded aft deck or have a beach picnic set up on a secluded sandbar.
All-Inclusive Leisure – From high-quality snorkeling gear and paddleboards to plush towels and reef-safe sun protection, everything can be provided. Your only responsibility is to relax while the crew handles the navigation, the service, and the scenery.
