Antigua

“i have a group of sailing friends and we have been doing a bareboat charters around the world together each year for the last 20 years.
this year we went to Sunsail: Antigua
first let me talk about the base – nelson’s dock yard is a wonderful, protected landing and a nice place to start and end the journey – interesting things to see, easy access to stores to provision and buy souvenirs, lots of fun restaurants to try. the team at sunsail put the boat on and off the dock before handing the boat over (kind of like having a pilot coming into a major harbor), so while our crew may have enjoyed the challenge, we were also fine not having the drama of docking a boat we did not have a lot of experience with.
next antigua – plenty of great sailing detinations – the winds and weather did not disappoint. lots of easy to navigate to anchorages…..just easy and fun and interesting.
the boat – we had a Sunsail 44 with a 4 cabin layout. it was in good working order, clean, intelligently laid out and sailed very nicely. one of the nicest roomiest monohulls for its size.
the team at Sunsail – the team at the base were friendly and helpful and professional. there is a lot more paperwork and explicit focus on safety then in the old days. however the team was thorough in their boat and map briefing and didn’t rush it and took our followup questions and made us comfortable. we enjoyed their smile and enthusiasm seeing us start our charter and their smiles and help winding things up.
another great holiday – thanks Sunsail.”

“We just came back from a week flotilla in Croatia. Our lead crew was amazing, Esme was on hand for bookings, Fraser welcomed us into every dock showing remarkable patience when the boys line throwing went wrong and Miha visited every night to check on all things technical”

“Huge thanks to Amy Smith for the fun and professional course with Sunsail Agana ! Amy is a very talented and thorough instructor. Her calm and patient approach certainly helped to get all Comp Crew and Skippers Ticket candidates across the line ! Thank you Amy ! You are a gem 😊”

“We sailed as a family for a week with Rob from Sunsail. The children earned their RYA “Competent Crew”, my wife and I “Day Skipper”. We had a great time and learned a lot. Rob was great with the kids.”

“Thank you to Michael, Imogen, and Carraig for their support on our Krka flotilla. Lovely destinations and good times….”
