Nelson's Dockyard & English Harbour Sailing Charter

Sail a private yacht around Antigua's dramatic coastline to the Georgian-era Nelson's Dockyard, a living naval history museum framed by turquoise water.

What to expect

Your captain sails you along Antigua's south coast past hidden coves, pausing to snorkel a quiet reef before docking near English Harbour. A short walk brings you into Nelson's Dockyard, the only working Georgian dockyard in the world, where restored naval buildings now house galleries and rum bars. Champagne and local snacks are served aboard on the return sail.
