Island hopping from/to Antigua

Enjoy a richly varied sailing voyage through some of the most fascinating islands of the northern Caribbean – a route that brings together cultural diversity, spectacular nature and a relaxed island spirit.

From Antigua we first set course for St. Kitts, an island full of colonial history, Caribbean colour and striking landscapes. Next comes the mysterious volcanic island of Saba, whose sheer cliffs and small mountain villages create a truly special atmosphere – a real highlight for nature lovers.

On St. Barth you will find a French way of life in the middle of the Caribbean: fine beaches, elegant boutiques and charming cafés define this stylish island. Barbuda offers a striking contrast, with endless, almost deserted beaches and turquoise water that promise complete peace and relaxation.

Back in Antigua, your voyage ends where it began – full of impressions that could hardly be more different.

A cruise that harmoniously combines cultural highlights, Caribbean natural paradises and the unique Sailing-Classics sailing experience.

Itinerary

Every sailing trip follows the conditions of nature. The itinerary shown is a non-binding orientation and can change depending on wind and weather.

Travel to Antigua and transfer to Falmouth Harbour. Once on board, you meet the crew who will look after you over the coming days. At the welcome dinner on deck you savour your first Caribbean impressions, with a view of the historic harbour of English Harbour.

After a leisurely breakfast on deck, it’s time to cast off. We set sail along Antigua’s picturesque coast and enjoy our first hours on the warm Caribbean Sea. After a swimming stop in a sheltered bay, we set course for Barbuda, Antigua’s tranquil sister island.

Barbuda welcomes us with miles of almost deserted beaches. The famous Low Bay impresses with its faintly pink sand and crystal-clear water. If you like, you can visit the unique frigatebird sanctuary in the mangrove lagoons, or simply enjoy a relaxed day on the beach and in the water.

With the steady trade wind behind us, we leave Barbuda and set course for St. Barth. During a long day of sailing we take in the vastness of the Caribbean, watch out for dolphins or sea turtles if luck is on our side, and simply unwind. In the late afternoon we reach the elegant island of St. Barth, often called the “St. Tropez of the Caribbean”. In the harbour of Gustavia, French flair, luxurious yachts and the easy-going atmosphere of one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive islands await us.

Today there is time to explore the island. Dreamlike bays, elegant boutiques, little cafés and magnificent viewpoints set the scene. Alternatively, enjoy a relaxed day at the beach or life on board.

The voyage continues to Saba, one of the most extraordinary islands in the Caribbean. Rising steeply from the sea, this volcanic island captivates with its spectacular scenery.

In the morning there is time to get to know this unspoilt island with its small villages and lush mountain slopes. Afterwards we set course for Antigua. During the crossing we once more enjoy the relaxed life on board and the wide expanse of the Caribbean. We spend the Captain’s Dinner and our last evening on board in Falmouth Harbour.

The trip ends after breakfast. With unforgettable memories of turquoise bays, striking volcanic islands and relaxed days under sail, you set off for home or extend your stay in the Caribbean.

Important information

British Airways fly to Antigua almost daily from London and Antigua is also easily accessible via Canada/Toronto. One or more overnight stays before the sailing trip (e.g. at Nelson’s Dockyard) in English Harbour are a good idea.

The cruise price includes: costs for the nautical crew and service, accommodation on board in the booked category, sea transport, full board on board / one evening per week to discover the local cuisine at your own expense, water, tea, filter coffee. The price does not include: arrival and departure, transfers, soft drinks, Nespresso and alcoholic beverages, water sports from on board, shore excursions and gratuities.

The best time to travel to the Caribbean is between December and April – ideal for soaking up the sun in winter. It is then tropically warm with water temperatures of 24-26°C and air temperatures of 24-30°C – occasionally there are short tropical rain showers. The constant trade winds ensure perfect sailing conditions.

Life on board the Sailing-Classics yachts is very safe and well organised. The vessels meet the highest safety standards and are inspected annually. The captain and helmsman are graduates of a professional maritime college and undergo continuous professional development. The rest of the crew also receive intensive training in how to deal with emergencies. A compulsory safety briefing takes place at the start of every voyage. Furthermore, despite their speed, the yachts sail with remarkable stability – even in heavy weather, hardly any water comes on deck.

Both German and English are spoken on board the Sailing-Classics yachts. The language used amongst the international crew is English, whilst they communicate with guests in both German and English. On the KAIRÓS, we cannot always guarantee communication in German.

Meals on board Sailing-Classics are organised on a full-board basis and are included in the tour price. The day begins with a generous breakfast buffet, followed by a light two-course lunch and coffee and cake in the afternoon. In the evening, the on-board chef prepares a three-course dinner. On the final evening, the festive Captain’s Dinner is the culinary highlight. Once a week, a dinner is held ashore to sample the regional cuisine – this is not included in the tour price. Special dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for if notified in advance.

Sailing-Classics organises shore excursions using the crew’s motorised dinghies. On request, the crew will take you ashore and collect you again free of charge – simply let the team know in good time. In addition, in many sailing areas, the crew organises guided shore excursions with a local guide or accompanied by a crew member. The price per participant is communicated in advance and charged to your on-board account. Of course, you are also welcome to explore the surrounding area on your own.

The cabins on board the Sailing-Classics yachts are comfortable and practically furnished. Each cabin has its own en-suite bathroom with a toilet and shower cubicle, individually controlled air conditioning, a wardrobe, a hairdryer, and hand and bath towels. 230-volt sockets are available for charging electronic devices. A reusable water bottle is provided in every cabin and can be refilled at the water dispenser in the saloon.

At Sailing-Classics, you’re warmly invited to get actively involved in sailing – no prior experience or sailing licence required. You can help set and trim the sails, take the helm yourself, or lend a hand with other tasks on deck. The crew will be happy to explain the basics of sailing to you, show you how radar navigation works on the bridge, or give you a tour of the engine room. Those who prefer to relax can simply enjoy the passing scenery – the motto is: ‘Everything is possible, nothing is compulsory.’

To cancel your sailing holiday with Sailing-Classics, please send your cancellation request by email to info@sailing-classics.com. Written notification is required so that the cancellation can be processed officially. Depending on when the cancellation is made, Sailing-Classics’ tiered cancellation terms and conditions will apply. We strongly recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance to protect yourself financially.
