Antigua Charter Yacht Show: What a Success!

A Caribbean Charter Community

The Antigua Charter Yacht Show once again proved to be a key gathering for the international charter community. Set in Nelson’s Dockyard, the event brought together brokers, managers, crew and industry partners for yacht viewings, professional exchanges and networking across several days. The programme was jam-packed, involving a full schedule of briefings, competitions and marina activity. With yachts displayed across multiple locations and a series of social events fostering meaningful connections, the show stood out for its vibrant atmosphere, thanks to strong attendance and smooth organisation.

Highlights from the Show

  • - 'Informative Hour' every morning provided insight on a variety of pertinent subjects. From crew well-being to delivering personalised itineries, each session was useful, engaging and enlightening. 
  • - ABUNDANCE and TESNI welcomed brokers and professionals on board for intimate lunches. This was a unique opportunity to meet the crew and to experience life as a charter guest. 
  • - ATLANTIC had the busiest schedule of BGYB's yachts, with a lunch, cocktail reception and sail day against the Windrose of Amsterdam. It became clear that this is a yacht that can do it all, whether that be entertaining or racing. To read more, see her dedicated article. 
  • - A-PLAN may not have been an official participant of the show, but she was nonetheless displayed in Falmouth Harbour and welcomed many a visitor into her brand-new interior. We cannot wait to see what she has in store for the season ahead. 
  • -Evening social events were where the community network really flourished. The first night kicked off the show with the Sundowner's Evening at Boom Restaurant. Day two was the Welcome Networking event, with a Caribbean supper and live music. The 5 days drew to a close with the ACYM After Show Party, where brokers said farewell to a successful show in the presence of a live DJ. 

The BGYB Team returns with new knowledge, professional connections, and an excitement for the winter season ahead. We look forward to hopefully returning to the golden shores of Antigua in 2026.
