If it's SAILING, it's MIRAMAR!

We offer private, exclusive, informal and relaxed Day and Holiday Sailing cruises from the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua.

From our base in Antigua we work with each of our guests to develop an individual itinerary to suit your needs, including mouth watering menu, a choice of drinks, cruising locations, snorkeling spots, and any activities or stops you may want to include in your cruise.

YACHT RACING
Caribbean sailing is awesome! When you add in the excitement of close quarters, cut and thrust racing it becomes even better!!
We offer something for all enthusiasts of yacht racing, whether they be race crew or spectators. There are several options for enjoying the thrill of racing on one of our yachts. “Single Berth” charter for individuals; “Whole Yacht” charter for established crew teams, or groups of friends; and “Customised Corporate” charter for companies who seek to reward or build teams in a unique, challenging, and exhilarating environment.
When we are not enjoying the excitement, and fun, of cut and thrust, on the edge racing, we need to transfer our yachts between events. This brings abundant opportunities for all types of crew to hone skills, build miles and gain experience. We have several passages, both long and short around the Caribbean and Mediterranean, including transatlantic passages in both directions.
Caribbean Regattas that we participate in include:
Rorc Caribbean 600, St Maarten Heineken Regatta, BVI Spring Cup, Les Voiles de St Barth and Antigua Sailing Week to name but a few. Our schedule is flexible so let us know where you want to race and we'll be there!
