Jolly Harbour sailing - an unique experience
Superyachts and Megayachts have easy access and ample maneuvering space to dock at the Superyacht Terminal. An 18 hole golf course just behind your yacht, a splendid beach, excellent provisioning and flights to almost everywhere, makes Jolly Harbour Marina, Antigua the preferred destination for Superyachts. The superyacht terminal, with 9 stern-to and along side berths, is situated in the totally enclosed lagoon of Jolly Harbour, a secure community on the protected West side of the island of Antigua. The entry is easy and straight forward through an 11 foot dredged channel. If draft is a concern speak with the Marina Manager. In front of the superyacht terminal there is ample room for maneuvering and flawless docking of mega yachts up to 200 ft. At the dock there is water, electricity (220 volt 100 amps), wireless network, telephone and cable television. There is also a mobile duty free fuel service. Visitors to Antigua do not have to imagine yachts, shops, and history all in one place, it is there in historic English Harbour. The harbor is a main draw for the island and a favorite of yachters. Antigua, with the large Antigua Sailing Week and the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta, remains a popular destination for oceangoers. The island has options for both experienced and non-experienced yachters and sailors. Those with ocean experience will find Antigua's rugged east coast to be adventurous sailing, while others may stick to the areas on the island's popular western coast. Due to it's popularity, there are several ports of entry through which you can enter Antigua, among which Jolly Harbour. The VHF channel for these ports is 16. Simple common sense procedures suggested by local authorities can help keep the beautiful waters and shores of Antigua clean. Receptacles and tanks are provided on shore for both waste oil and garbage, so be sure to carefully dispose of waste in appropriate containers. Black and grey water tanks should only by pumped out before or after entering the anchorage. Also, be watchful to ensure that all of your fuel makes it to your tank instead of the water. Only Antiguan nationals may spearfish in the water of Antigua and Barbuda, and the coastline between the Pillars of Hercules and Mamora Bay is a no fish zone. Travelers should always keep nautical maps on board their ships so as to avoid coral reefs. The Barbuda area can be particularly hazardous because of coral growth. Always exercise caution and try to have someone on board who is familiar with local waters. Caution should also be taken when navigating the rugged terrain of offshore islets, especially on the island's east coast. As always, beware of harsh trade winds and stronger waves on the northern and eastern coasts of the island.
