Antigua Sailing Week (ASW) the Caribbean’s longest-running regatta, prides itself on offering something for everyone. This bucket-list event attracts yachts from around the globe to the heart of Caribbean racing, Antigua & Barbuda. These vessels range from high-performance racing yachts - monohulls to catamarans, cruisers to sports boats, and one can be a part of the competition as a member of a highly-trained crew or as a Corinthian sailor along with family and friends.
If the idea of an active vacation piques your interest, consider chartering a yacht so you can ‘Rock up and Race’ with us. Browse www.sailingweek.com/charteroptions to connect with of one of our reputable yacht charter companies and choose from a skippered race charter, a bareboat charter with Sunsail or an individual place.

Not a sailor? Not a problem. Spectators are encouraged to get involved on land or the sea.
