Ondeck Ocean Racing Antigua
About
Operating from the spectacular sailing waters around Falmouth and English Harbour — the undisputed yachting heartland of the Eastern Caribbean — Ondeck Ocean Racing Antigua is a natural first call for anyone looking to race, charter, or simply spend a day on the water in one of the region's most beautiful sailing grounds.
Caribbean Regatta Race Charters
Ondeck specialises in placing individuals, small groups, and full crews aboard racing and race-cruiser yachts for the Caribbean's premier regattas. Events covered include Antigua Sailing Week, the RORC Caribbean 600, Barbados Race Week, the Grenada Sailing Festival, Heineken Regatta St Maarten, Rolex St Thomas, BVI Festival, Les Voiles de St Barths, and Chase the Race. Whole yachts are available for bareboat or skippered race charters, and individual berths can be booked for those wishing to join an existing crew — making competitive offshore racing accessible even with relatively modest prior experience.
The fleet ranges from nimble race cruisers to fully-equipped offshore yachts including a Farr 65, well suited to the demanding passages and competitive starts that define Caribbean regatta sailing.
Private Yacht and Motorboat Charters
For those seeking a more relaxed day on the water, Ondeck's 40-foot race cruisers are available on half-day, full-day, and sunset private charters departing from the English and Falmouth Harbour area. The itinerary can be tailored entirely to the group — visiting the less-travelled beaches along Antigua's coastline, swimming and snorkelling in sheltered bays, or simply sailing in the warm trade winds with drinks and lunch on deck. Motorboat charters on a 34-foot cruising vessel are also available, offering generous shade and sunbathing space for those who prefer power to sail.
Year-Round Operations
Ondeck runs charters and courses every week throughout the year, making it straightforward to arrange sailing time regardless of when a visit to Antigua falls. The home sailing area encompasses Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour, Falmouth Harbour, and the island's picturesque south-east coastline — widely regarded as among the finest cruising grounds in the Caribbean.
