New to our show?
If you are new to the Antigua Charter Yacht Show or have not attended for a couple of years, here’s how It works.
The Antigua Charter Yacht Show has an excellent selection of charter
yachts ready for:
1. Charter broker and press inspection and crew interviews.
2. Non-Exhibiting Vendors go boat to boat introducing their product or service.
Arriving at our event
1. On arrival all show attendees must come to the Hospitality Desk which is located in the Copper & Lumber Store Hotel, Nelson’s Dockyard. On the 4th of December, early registration day attendees can register from 2.30pm to 6.30pm. On all other show days the Hospitality Desk is open from 7.30am to 5.30pm.
2. When you register at the Hospitality Desk you'll be given your Show Identity Pass and a bag containing a range of welcome items. The Show Catalogue, which includes the schedule of events, a list of exhibiting yachts, brokers, non-exhibiting vendors and press, and other useful information, can be downloaded from the website nearer to the show date, as can the Dock Plans.

Brokers, Press & Vendors

12. Evening yacht hops. Brokers and press are invited to all open house yacht hops.
13. It is at the yacht's discretion as to whether the non-exhibiting vendors are invited to these events, please ask the yachts if you wish to attend and are not a yacht broker.
