Following our trip to St Kitts & Nevis, we boarded our Private Charter flight to Anguilla.

The flight was approximately 40 minutes and the flight path took us over some breathtaking scenery including the islands of St Barts & St Martin.

Antigua is a relaxed intimate caribbean island where the weather remains warm and dry for most of the year and ’beach life and watersports’ is what it’s all about. Yachting and sailing facilities are fabulous and Antigua hosts many international yachting events and regattas throughout the year. We hired a ‘dingy’ for the day and sought out a secluded cove to achor for a wonderful day of peace and quiet. continue reading…
