The Antigua Charter Yacht Show
From 4–9 December 2026, Antigua’s English and Falmouth Harbours will host the Antigua Charter Yacht Show across three of the island’s premier marinas.
About the Antigua Charter Yacht Show
The Antigua Charter Yacht Show is one of the Caribbean’s longest-running industry events, held each December ahead of the winter charter season. The 2026 edition marks 65 years since the first yachts gathered in Antigua in 1961.
The show is centred around three marinas in the island’s southern harbours: Nelson’s Dockyard Marina in English Harbour, Falmouth Harbour Marina and Antigua Yacht Club Marina. These locations provide the setting for yacht viewings, broker meetings and industry events throughout the six-day programme.
Boatbookings’ Charter Experts attend the show each year to tour the yachts and meet their crews. These visits give our team firsthand knowledge of each yacht’s layout, accommodation, amenities, water toys and onboard service. We use these insights to help match our clients with the right yacht for your Caribbean charter.
Although the show is not open to the general public, we are happy to share our impressions of the yachts and trends from each edition. We can also provide photographs and further details to help you make an informed charter decision. Please contact our Charter Experts if you would like to discuss your plans.
