From 21-25 April 2027, we're heading back out on the water for four unforgettable days of sailing, island exploration and good times — and if Antigua isn't already in your 2027 sailing plans, now is the time to change that.

Antigua Sailing Week has evolved. The legendary location and warm Antiguan welcome remain, but the experience is now more relaxed, more adventurous and all about enjoying the journey.

Think point-to-point sailing, a different destination, time ashore with fellow sailors, beachside fun and plenty of Caribbean spirit along the way.

Whether you want to race, rally or simply enjoy sailing around one of the Caribbean's most beautiful islands — there's a place for you.

What does your entry fee get you?

A lot more than just great racing or cruising. Your entry fee helps us deliver one of the Caribbean's best all-round regatta experiences — top-class race management on the water and plenty of fun ashore.

From the Welcome Party through four nights of post-race celebrations and the Final Prize Giving, crews can look forward to free Happy Hour drinks, daily prizes, great parties and, of course, one of the best Skippers' Bags around — packed with genuinely useful kit and a few fun surprises.

Great racing. Cold drinks. Good prizes. Great company.

Four Days. One Island. A different adventure each day!

If you haven't experienced the new Antigua Sailing Week yet, 2027 is your year.

We've moved away from the traditional week of hardcore racing and created something that lets you experience much more of Antigua from the water.

Sail around the island. Race if you want to. Rally if you don't. Drop anchor somewhere beautiful. Meet up with old friends and make some new ones. Head ashore. Grab a drink. Join the day's activities. Then wake up and do it all again somewhere different.

Antigua Sailing Week heads to Annapolis!

Antigua & Barbuda Tourism is heading to Annapolis this October 15 - 18, and Antigua Sailing Week will be joining the team at one of the sailing world's most anticipated boat shows.
