About Leeward Islands

The Leeward Islands—Antigua, St. Kitts, Nevis, Aruba, and their neighbors—blend Caribbean beauty with Old World charm. Antigua is the sailing hub of the Eastern Caribbean, host to the legendary Antigua Sailing Week. Colonial architecture, local culture, and world-class restaurants define this entire region.

The sailing is a bit more challenging than other Caribbean destinations (stronger trade winds), making it perfect for intermediate sailors. But first-timers shouldn't be intimidated—charter companies here are excellent at working with all experience levels.

You'll experience authentic Caribbean culture: local markets, steel drum music, historic forts, and genuine island hospitality. The pace is slower, the islands are less crowded, and the character is more distinctly Caribbean.

What to Expect

  • Stronger trade winds and more interesting sailing
  • Less crowded than mainstream Caribbean
  • Rich colonial history and local culture
  • Authentic Caribbean markets and dining
  • Dramatic volcanic landscapes
  • Excellent anchorages and protected bays
