Set Sail for the 62nd Antigua Charter Yacht Show

The 62nd Antigua Charter Yacht Show is set to take place from the 4th to the 9th of December, 2023, at the historic Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This prestigious event showcases the world’s finest charter yachts, bringing together yacht brokers, charter managers, and potential charterers.

The yacht show was first held in 1961, with just a handful of yachts on display. Over the years, the show has become one of the premier yachting events in the Caribbean. In 2023, the show will feature over 70 yachts from all over the world.

This event is more than just a yacht show. It is also a networking opportunity for yacht professionals and a chance for potential charterers to see what the world of luxury yachting offers. The show also features many social events, including cocktail parties and dinners.

Despite the recent fire at the Antigua Yacht Club Marina Business Complex in October, the show is still scheduled to go ahead as planned. The organizers have assured attendees that there will be no impact on the line-up of yachts or the show’s operation.
