Antigua Charter Yacht Show

Date: 4 December 2026 – 9 December 2026

Location: Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour, Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda

The Antigua Charter Yacht Show is a trade event rather than a public boat show. Charter brokers travel to Antigua at the start of each winter season to walk the docks, inspect yachts and meet crews before recommending boats to their clients. The 2026 edition, the 65th, runs from 4 to 9 December across three neighbouring marinas: Nelson's Dockyard, Antigua Yacht Club Marina and Falmouth Harbour Marina, with a shuttle service linking them. Close to a hundred sailing and motor yachts are expected, all polished and provisioned ahead of the Caribbean charter season that follows immediately after. Nelson's Dockyard itself is a working Georgian naval yard and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which makes the setting unusual among yacht shows. Attendance is restricted to industry professionals, so this is one to know about rather than visit, unless you happen to be a broker.
