About the school
Join us at Ondeck Sailing in Antigua's historic English Harbour for a comprehensive range of RYA courses, from beginner levels right through to Yachtmaster Ocean. We also offer STCW and Boatmaster programs, and if you're keen on racing, you can even join our teams for major Caribbean regattas. It's a vibrant place to learn and get deeply involved in sailing.
The location
Our base at the Antigua Slipway in English Harbour places you right in one of the Caribbean's most famous sailing hubs. The area offers excellent conditions with steady trade winds, providing a superb and reliable environment for all levels of sail training, from basic skills to advanced offshore techniques.
How to get there
When travelling to Antigua, you will arrive at V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU). From there, it's approximately a 35 minute drive to English Harbour and the Antigua Slipway where we are located. Taxis are readily available at the airport, or you can opt for a pre-arranged private transfer or a rental car if you plan to explore further. Remember that driving is on the left in Antigua.
Best time to go
The ideal period for sailing in Antigua is from December to April. These months consistently deliver steady trade winds and dry, sunny weather. Such reliable conditions are perfect for focused sail training and enjoying longer passages, with the added benefit of cooler temperatures compared to the summer months.
