Caribbean Sailing Vacations!

From our base in Antigua, we are perfectly placed to the the north of the Windward Islands, and the south of the Leeward Islands, to offer everything you could wish for in a Caribbean Sailing Vacation.

We understand that our idea of your perfect sailing vacation is not necessarily the same as yours. Our intention is to give you the holiday of a lifetime, and it is therefore important that we work with you to tailor your expectations to your dreams and aspirations to suit your tastes and budget.

Believe it or not, the Caribbean Island Chain comprises over 7,000 islands, islets, reefs and cays! From our base we are ideally situated in the centre of the chain to show you the vast majority of them.

It is all about how far would you like to go, and your imagination!

Caribbean Sailing Vacatoion Holiday Options

• Sun – Fortunately it shines often and brings with it warm air and gentle breezes, not to mention the all important tan!
• Sea – Unbelievably clear and blue presenting great sailing conditions. Swimming, snorkelling, diving, fishing, kite boarding, surfing, are just a few of the many water activities that our waters are perfect for.
• Sand – The geological formation of the chain has created both white and black sandy beaches. In some places there is even a hint of pink where sea shells have been ground down over the ages. Our sand is soft, warm and luxurious.
• Sailing – Possibly the best sailing grounds in the world. The constant Trade Winds waft across the Caribbean from the east and, with minimal tides and currents, create relaxed sailing conditions that you cannot fail to enjoy.
• Scenery – Simply breathtaking with enormous variety. From the flatlands of Barbuda and Anguilla to the north, to the towering pinnacles of Mont Pele, Martinique, and the Pitons, St. Lucia, to the south, each island offers its own unique landscape with fantastic photo and hiking opportunities.
• History – Over the centuries many different peoples have discovered and settled throughout the Caribbean Islands. South American Indians, Chinese, Africans, Italians, British, French, Spanish, Dutch, to name a few, have all played a part in the development of the region. One cannot forget the legendary Pirates either!
• Culture – Given the many influences from history, it is not surprising that the culture of the Caribbean is as diverse as the peoples that have contributed to it. Fundamentally, however, our culture is based on warm welcomes, colour, carnivals, religions of many callings, Creole cuisine, “liming”, but most importantly, a relaxed pace of life that does not understand the meaning of stress.

Best Reasons for Choosing a Caribbean Sailing Vacatoion Holiday

• Relaxation – The pace of sailing is as chilled as the Caribbean itself. It is wonderful way of combining relaxation with a hint of excitement and adventure.
• Flexibility – Subject to weather conditions, changes of plan are possible at any time. There are no fixed schedules, no flight plans, no connections to meet, no baggage to lose in transit. Popular destinations can be savoured and unpopular ones left as quickly as you arrived.
• Companions – You choose the holiday companions you wish to share those moments of romance, solitude and fun, both when sailing and ashore on isolated beaches, or busy bars. There are plenty of opportunities to meet new people on excursions ashore, but you remain safe in the knowledge that your private domain awaits you upon your return to the yacht.
• Variety – The scope of your destinations is enormous compared to a vacation in a hotel. Each day will bring a different bay, a different landscape and a different experience.

Best Reasons for Choosing Miramar Sailing for your Caribbean yachting Vacation Holiday

• Location – Our base on the west coast of Antigua is ideal. Unlike the south and east coasts, we are sheltered from the rolling seas of the Atlantic Ocean, yet still enjoy a gentle breeze as it wafts across the island.
• Reputation – Over 250 five star reviews on Trip Advisor from previous guests should be all you need to know about our ability to deliver your dream vacation experience.
• Value – Our rates reflect our love of what we do and in that context are reasonable and realistic. There are no hidden extras because we tell you what you get for your charter fee and make sure it is delivered.
• Quality – We satisfy the highest standards in terms of vessel inspection and crew qualifications. We are more than happy to publish all relevant documentation if reassurance is required.
• Experience – Over the years we have sailed the entire Caribbean Island chain. We know the likely conditions and the favourite places. You can explore or relax as you choose. It is your vacation after all.
• Service – We aim to make your whole trip as easy and carefree as possible. We will take the strain while you sit back and enjoy, unless, of course, you wish to take some of it as well!
