CURTAIN CALL
In its sixth decade, the 62nd Antigua Charter Yacht Show is preparing the scene for the 2023 event at the historic Nelson’s Dockyard
Established in 1961, the annual event now celebrating its 62nd edition, takes place from 4th – 9th December 2023 at the start of the Caribbean sailing season. It is a celebrated meeting and is the world’s largest multinational networking event for charter yacht brokers, captains, vendors and press. Registration for the 2023 event will be opened on 1st June with an early discount.
The 2022 Antigua Charter Yacht Show was a great success; everyone was excited and we are all now back on track after the pandemic. We want to say a special thank you to all the 2022 sponsors, yachts, brokers, marine vendors and stakeholders who continue to support the show.
Set in the historic surroundings of Nelson’s Dockyard Antigua, the show attracts attendees from North America, Europe, and the Caribbean islands. Antigua has direct flights from major international airports and there is a wide range of hotel and villa accommodation within walking distance of the show. While the time honoured district still conjures up images of its 18th century past, there’s nothing dated about its amenities. Superyachts can now set anchor in Nelson’s Dockyard itself, thanks to the creation of a larger, upgraded dock. The marinas boast an abundance of maritime services with a chandlery and high flow rate fuel, plus a supermarket, gym, boutiques, laundromat, and medical centre. Everything the visitor or crew may need.
