As we kick off the start of the Caribbean charter high season, the Antigua Charter Yacht Show will be showcasing some of the worlds’ finest charter yachts from December 4th through December 9th.
Each year, our charter team attends the Antigua Charter Yacht Show to personally view and gain knowledge of some of the amazing charter vessels that are available. This gives us the opportunity to get to know the condition of the yacht and meet/interview the captain and crew of the yachts. Chefs from around the globe prepare cuisine for us to experience with top-notch service from the crew.
This glimpse allows charter brokers to gain a better insight on each boat’s features to better match up the perfect yacht to each client’s needs for their perfect private yacht vacation. The beautiful Antigua climate creates a wonderful atmosphere for over 80 of the worlds’ most impressive luxury yachts during the show, and the numerous charter brokers and industry representatives alike.
