Nelson's Dockyard is the world's only continuously working Georgian dockyard, and it sits at the head of the most sheltered harbour in the Caribbean. Barbuda, 40 miles north, has a pink-sand beach and a frigate bird sanctuary that sees almost no traffic. English Harbour pickup, straight to where you want to go.
Prices from, for 1 to 12 guests — firm quote within hours (captain, fuel, insurance, fees included).
Antigua has two main harbours for private boats: English Harbour (Nelson's Dockyard, UNESCO) and adjacent Falmouth Harbour. The north coast (Dickenson Bay, Jolly Harbour, St. John's) is 25–35 min away. Barbuda is the premium day-trip destination.
Arriving at English Harbour by boat is exactly how admirals arrived for 250 years. The dockyard, the pillar-hill view, the reef entrance — all seen first from the water.
The commercial ferry only runs on weekends in high season. A private boat goes when you want, stays as long as you like at the pink-sand lagoon and the frigate bird colony.
Antigua claims one beach per day of the year. A boat is the fastest way to string them together — Darkwood, Half Moon Bay, Pigeon Beach — without a long drive.
