Jolly Harbour travel guide and vacation resources
Jolly Harbour, Antigua, is located at 17° North. It’s the place to be for constant sunshine, sea breezes and swaying palms - enjoying the Summer season year round! If you are lucky you may see the "green flash" at sunset as you sip your sundowner. Not sure what a "green flash" is? Ask the dock master, William, once he has berthed you in the marina. Situated on the sheltered Leeward side of the island, the approach to Jolly Harbour Marina is through gorgeous aquamarine water amidst beautiful bays and quiet sandy beaches - all of which are accessible and just a short boat ride away. The Jolly Harbour Marina is only 20 minutes from the capital city of St John’s and 30 minutes from V.C. Bird International Airport. Jolly Harbour is very convenient for clearance, in and out by sea, as the Customs, Immigration and Port Authority services are adjacent to the super yacht dock. Barbuda, the sister island to Antigua, is an easy day sail being only 25 miles to the North of Antigua. A visit to Jolly Harbour before sailing there is a good idea as although you will be stunned by the 9 mile long, pink coral beach you will not easily find a supermarket there. While in Barbuda enjoy a visit to the Frigate bird colony and the highlands on the dramatic Windward coast. Another tip, fill up your watertanks before leaving Jolly Harbour. Jolly Harbour was the vision of Dr. Alfred Erhart, a Swiss national, who turned 500 acres of salt ponds into one of the most complete developments in the Eastern Caribbean, with the marina being at the heart of the complex. La Perla International Living acquired the property in December 2006 and has ambitious plans for further development including villas and well designed marine apartments. This is a full service marina with 130 berths and a storage capacity for 200 boats for long term, insurance approved hurricane storage. The boat yard offers concreted work areas to facilitate engine maintenance and repair, yacht painting, carpentry and duty free fueling services. There is a dedicated Superyacht Dock that can accommodate 9 yachts up to 200ft in length. The many facilities include: Swimming Pool, 18 hole golf course (including club hire), Mini Golf for kids, Kids Club, Tennis Courts, Full service marina, Private mooring alongside villa, Island Hopping Day Trips, Yacht Charters, Excursion office including deep sea fishing, round island eco trips and kite-surfing, Helicopter trips to Montserrat and around the island, Squash Courts, Gymnasium, Mountain bike/scooter and hire facilities, Well stocked supermarket, Beach shop, Antiguan Overseas Bank, Local Art Gallery, The Grand Princess Casino, Electric buggy hire, Regular convenient shuttle service, Gated 24 hour security.
