Set to be a tremendous event, the Antigua Charter Yacht Show is just around the corner as it marks the beginning of the Caribbean sailing season. The show is a long-lived tradition of beauty, culture and partnerships, setting the stage for some of the world’s finest charter vessels.

From Monday the 4th to Saturday the 9th of December, the Antigua Charter Yacht Show returns for its 62nd Anniversary. It is an invitation-only event, where key players of the yachting industry join at the luscious locations of English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour. Attendees have the opportunity to partake in endless networking opportunities, celebrating the charter market of the superyacht industry. 

The 2023 show is shaping up to be just as exciting as previous editions, featuring a diverse range of activities that showcase all aspects of the industry. Attendees can marvel at the 50+ yachts on display at the show, ranging from 18 to 90 metres, as the most incredible offerings of the charter market gather in the Antiguan waters. Expect to see notable names of the industry, including NERO, PROJECT X and SAMSARA. Alongside the vessels themselves are a host of Marine Vendors, showcasing specialised products and services to suit all seafaring needs. 

The Antigua Charter Yacht Show is a hub for brokers to seek out the best yachts for their clients, with around 2,000 crew members and captains attending the show every year. 

'Our show provides brokers with the ideal opportunity to discover what each yacht offers their charter guests. You’ll be given a tour of the yacht, during which all the key features will be highlighted, as will the various activities that can be undertaken as a guest.'

Returning for the 23rd Annual Event, the Concours de Chef and Tablescaping Competitions remain a highlight of the Antigua Charter Yacht Show. Showcasing the exceptional dining opportunities within the yachting industry, this year’s competition is focused on global cuisine inspirations with an emphasis on sustainable products, largely in keeping with the growing importance placed on sustainability within the yachting industry. 

There are a number of social events and parties curated specifically for attendees of the show, including a festive evening with steel pan music and a Ken & Barbie dress-coded After Show Mingle, designed for guests to not only make the most of their time on the island, but to ensure the perfect ambience is created for guests to unwind, network, and forge long-lasting relationships.
