Thank you to the team at Latesail and thank you so much to our loyal staff who are integral to the success of the operation.

Afloat or ashore, sailors and non-sailors... Antigua has it all.

Oz Doc of Cowes on the dock of the Condo

Each year people all around the world have the same conversation: "shall we sail this year?" or "shall we have a land-based vacation?". Quite often it has to be a compromise in order to keep everyone happy, after all, holidays are precious times.   


The perfect way to please everyone on your sailing vacation is to take advantage of Horizon Antigua's special STAY & SAIL package.  The package is unique to our Antigua base and consists of chartering our Bavaria 42 "Oz Doc of Cowes" and combining this with a 2 bedroom, waterfront condo right here in Jolly Harbour; complete with its own dock.


The boat sleeps up to 6 people in 3 double cabins, and the villa sleeps up to four people in 2 double bedrooms.  This is the perfect combination for groups of people with different interests. Some of you will be passionate about sailing every minute of every day, and there are some who would prefer to cruise for a few days and then explore further inland by local bus or rental car; this package has it all.   


Relax on the large sundeck and watch the world go by


The self-catering condo is situated in the heart of Jolly Harbour Marina on the picturesque west coast of Antigua.  Just a 20 minute ride by taxi from the International airport and you could be sitting on the deck with a glass of something cold admiring your yacht and thinking about all the adventures you will have in the next week or so.  


The combined package for 7 nights/8 days is US$4, 965.  If you have the maximum of 10 people split between the boat and the condo, this works out at just US$70 per person, per day!  All linens and towels are included.  


Imagine, after a wonderful day sail, coming back to your dock and stepping onto your jetty - jumping in a hot shower and enjoying the stunning sunsets.  Of course, you can choose to stay at an overnight anchorage after a day of cruising - it's entirely up to you.  

Step from your yacht to the Condo

You can have it all with our Stay & Sail package.
