Established in 1961, the 2022 Antigua Charter Show is back, following it’s 21st Jubilee in 2021. The annual event takes place at the start of the Caribbean sailing season. The celebrated meeting is the world’s largest multinational networking event for Charter Yacht Brokers, Captains, Vendors and Press. Showcasing the world’s finest Charter Yachts, the 2022 Antigua Charter Show attracts about sixty attending yachts, ranging from under 50ft to 231ft and over.

The six-day schedule includes numerous network opportunities organised via the dedicated Hospitality Desk. Situated at The Copper & Lumber Store Hotel in Nelson’s Dockyard, the Hospitality Desk completes registration and provides information including schedules, show guides, and dock maps. Charter Yacht viewings are made directly with yacht teams, often with advance bookings.
