Antigua to St. Martin: 7-Nights

The Perfect Blend

Pink Sand Meets French Caribbean Chic

The Leeward Islands offer one of the most dynamic yacht charter routes in the Caribbean—seven islands in seven days, each with its own unique allure. From the pink-sand beaches of Barbuda to the refined French flair of St. Barths, this itinerary is the ultimate island-hopping experience.

The best time to cruise this region is December through May, when the trade winds are consistent, the seas are manageable, and the islands are at their most vibrant. With short cruising distances, diverse cultures, and a blend of quiet anchorages and high-end glamour, the Leeward Islands offer a charter experience that’s both adventurous and luxurious.

Experience the ultimate juxtaposition, from the rugged, volcanic peaks and historic forts of St. Kitts and Nevis to the pure, refined luxury of St. Barths and Anguilla's white sands.
Explore the dramatic, steep terrain of Saba (The Unspoiled Queen), known for world-class diving around volcanic pinnacles and challenging cloud-forest hikes.
Discover Barbuda's famous pink-sand beaches and the largest Frigate Bird Sanctuary in the Caribbean, offering untouched natural beauty and unparalleled seclusion.

Day 1

Antigua: Classic Caribbean Welcome

Begin your journey in Antigua, known for its 365 beaches, British colonial history, and vibrant yachting culture. Board the yacht at Nelson’s Dockyard—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and enjoy a scenic afternoon cruise along the island’s dramatic southern coast.

Drop anchor in Carlisle Bay or Falmouth Harbour for a relaxed beach afternoon or a sundowner at Sheer Rocks, one of the island’s most stylish restaurants. Antigua is the perfect launch point for your Leeward adventure.

Day 2

Barbuda: Barefoot Luxury & Pink Sands

Cruise 30 miles north to Barbuda, Antigua’s low-lying sister island known for its endless pink sand beaches and untouched natural beauty. Anchor off Princess Diana Beach—a 17-mile stretch of rose-tinted shoreline named in honor of her favorite retreat.

Enjoy a beach picnic, explore the island’s Frigate Bird Sanctuary (home to the Caribbean’s largest colony), or snorkel the reef-strewn coastline in crystal-clear water. With few crowds and even fewer developments, Barbuda is barefoot luxury at its finest.

Day 3

Nevis: Volcanic Views & Colonial Charm

Make your way west to Nevis, one of the Caribbean’s most serene and charming islands. With its volcanic peak, lush rainforest, and plantation-era history, Nevis feels worlds away from the typical tourist track.

Anchor off Pinney’s Beach, where you can enjoy lunch at Sunshine’s Beach Bar, known for its legendary “Killer Bee” rum punch. Optional inland excursions include the Botanical Gardens, the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, or a visit to the historic Montpelier Plantation for afternoon tea.

Day 4

St. Kitts: Rainforests, Forts & Rich Heritage

A short cruise brings you to St. Kitts, the larger sibling to Nevis, known for its dramatic mountainous landscape and deep colonial roots. Anchor near White House Bay or South Friars Bay, where you can enjoy watersports or explore ashore.

Highlights include Brimstone Hill Fortress, one of the best-preserved military structures in the Americas, a rainforest hike, or a ride on the scenic St. Kitts Railway, the last of its kind in the Caribbean. For dinner, consider the cliffside restaurant at Romney Manor, overlooking the lush valley below.

Day 5

Saba: The Unspoiled Queen

Next stop: Saba, the smallest island in the Dutch Kingdom and arguably one of the most unique in the Caribbean. Often referred to as “The Unspoiled Queen,” Saba is rugged, steep, and absolutely stunning.

While there are no sandy beaches, this island offers some of the best diving and hiking in the region. Dive the volcanic pinnacles below the surface or hike the Mount Scenery trail, which takes you through cloud forest to the highest point in the Netherlands. With only 2,000 residents and no cruise ships, Saba feels like a secret worth keeping.

Day 6

St. Barths: French Flair & Island Glamour

Cruise north to St. Barths, the crown jewel of the French West Indies and a favorite of the jet-set crowd. Dock in Gustavia, where luxury boutiques, superyachts, and chic cafés line the harbor.

Spend the day beach-hopping to Colombier, Shell Beach, or Gouverneur Bay, followed by a sunset cocktail at Eden Rock or dinner at Bonito. Whether you’re shopping, beaching, or simply soaking in the scene, St. Barths offers the ultimate blend of European sophistication and Caribbean cool.

Day 7

Anguilla: White Sands & Turquoise Perfection

Anguilla, just a short hop away, is known for having some of the best beaches in the entire Caribbean. Anchor off Maundays Bay, Meads Bay, or Shoal Bay East, where the powdery sand and clear turquoise water are postcard-perfect.

For lunch, we recommend Blanchards Beach Shack or Straw Hat, then spend the afternoon snorkeling over coral heads or paddleboarding along the coast. Anguilla offers a refined, relaxed escape—a place where time slows down and the water always sparkles.

Day 8

St. Martin: Disembark in Marigot or Simpson Bay

Cruise into St. Martin, a dual-nation island where French finesse meets Dutch energy. Disembark in either Marigot (French side) or Simpson Bay (Dutch side), depending on your flight plans or onward travel.

Before you go, enjoy a farewell breakfast on board and a final morning swim in the warm Caribbean Sea. Whether it’s the culture of St. Kitts, the mystery of Saba, or the sparkle of St. Barths, your Leeward Islands journey will linger long after you’ve stepped ashore.
