There
are several operators here in Antigua who offer this tour
but we feel that this is by far the best one. Departing the
West Coast you get an amazing view of the protected leeward
side of Antigua with its many hotels and small towns. Passing
the North Shore you will see the North Sound's amazing offshore
islands and reefs as you pass through Little Bird Island channel.
Once outside the channel it's a short ride in the deep dark
blue of the the Atlantic ocean. See flying fish take off along
side the big cat's twin hulls as you pass the famous Devil's
Bridge towards Green Island. It's
now time for snorkeling and then a delicious creole lunch
at this large deserted island. After lunch is a cool cruise
down wind towards the historic English Harbour. On this tranquil
sail its common to see dolphins to surfing the bow wakes.
After English Harbour you'll pass the beautiful Rendezvous
Bay and the undeveloped and mountainous South Coast. You will
then pass Curtain Bluff, 2-mile long Cades Reef and Cades
Bay, followed by some of Antigua's best beaches as you tighten
up on the sails for your cruise back home along the leeward
coast. Jolly Beach and Five Islands Harbour approach on starboard
and its soon time to be dropped back to your hotel.
This tour is the best way to see the whole coast in a day
and it gives you a great picture of how diverse our geography
actually is. If you like sailing, snorkelling, meeting people
and exploring then this tour is for you. Average of 38 people.
