Antigua Sailing Week, organisers, are thrilled to announce the launch of its newest addition: the Antigua Cruising Rally.
This inaugural event, will follow the same scheduled dates as the regatta, offering a unique experience for sailing enthusiasts who enjoy a more leisurely pace on the water while exploring the island’s stunning landscapes.
Designed for sailors who prefer relaxed adventures over competitive racing, the Antigua Cruising Rally provides a perfect complement to the high-energy regatta.
Participants will embark on a carefully curated sailing journey around Antigua, experiencing the pristine coastlines, white sandy beaches and secluded anchorages.
The seven day itinerary will allow participants to access points of the island not usually encountered during the regatta.
Starting and ending in Falmouth and English Harbours, the week will include three beach stop offs around the island including.
To ensure crews don’t miss out on the midweek fun, a return to Falmouth Harbour will ensure access to Reggae in the Park and Lay Day.
The week will be a fantastic mix of blue water sailing, laid back limes and celebrations.
This is not a race, so seasoned sailors can assemble a crew of non-racing family and friends as this activity is perfect for those who want to spend time together and cruise in company around Antigua.
Later start times and daily challenges on the way to the scheduled rendezvous point each evening will keep crews entertained.
Upon arrival at your destination, you can keep the party intimate and onboard or head ashore to organised activities through the week.
Plus for those who insist on competition on the water, a time trial option will be available.
For the participants support, a dedicated rally team will be available offering logistical assistance, safety guidance, and local insights throughout the voyage.
