Our new registration portal, which was launched last year, has made registering for the show easy! The new portal is much more user-friendly than the previous one, making the entire registration process quicker and easier. Simply hit the 'register' button on our home page and if you signed up in 2024, you can simply log in using last year’s log-in details.
If you didn’t attend last year, you’ll need to sign up to the portal as a new user. Even if you’ve registered in previous years (prior to 2024), you’ll have to re-register on the new system. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be able to quickly log in when returning to the portal in the future. Complete a simple online form and submit.
We'll then send you a confirmation email and you’ll be able to log back into the registration portal and pay via card. You’ll simply need to complete the following steps:
-
Log into the registration portal
-
Click on the 'complete payment' tab on the left
-
Click on 'Pay' to pay for a single registration, or 'Pay for multiple registrations' to pay for more than one
-
Next, click on 'Make card payment'
-
You'll then be able to enter your card details and make your payment
When signing up for the first time, you’ll need to set up a new account, so you’ll be asked for your full name, email address and phone number. You’ll then need to choose a username and password for your new account, followed by your company name and details including address, email address, phone number and website.
For detailed information on all rates charged, important information, payment methods, our cancellation policy, the new trading regulations and dockage, please visit our registration page.
What’s next?
Once you’ve signed up for the show, the next thing to focus on is getting everything in place to ensure you can get there, you have somewhere great to stay and that you know how to get around during the show.
Firstly - book your flights! Whether you’re coming from the US, UK, Europe, or the wider world, there will be several airlines for you to choose from. Check out our transport page to discover airlines that fly to Antigua from the US, Canada and the UK. If you’re coming from anywhere else, Google ‘flights to Antigua’ and go from there.
Consider what dates you’d like to arrive and depart and what times of day you’re happy travelling. Have a think about whether you’d like a few days on the island before or after the show to chill out, and adjust your dates accordingly. If your flight isn’t direct, check the stopover times and make sure they’re suitable - you don’t want to be caught out with a long stopover you’d overlooked!
Once you’ve secured your flight, accommodation is the next thing to book. You’ll have an amazing time wherever you stay, but coming back to lovely accommodation at the end of each day will make the trip extra special.
To make searching for the perfect place a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favourite hotels that are conveniently located for the show. Ranging in style from beautifully historic to modern luxury, all our recommended accommodation options are fantastic.
When you arrive…
Airport Meet & Greet
We host airport meet and greets for brokers and sponsors arriving in Antigua for the show. We’ll provide updates and further details on this nearer the time, so keep your eye on our social channels.
Hospitality Desk
Upon arrival at the show, attendees must come to the Hospitality Desk which is located in the Copper & Lumber Store Hotel, Nelson’s Dockyard, to check in. On the 4th of December, early attendees can check in from 2.30pm to 6.30pm. On all other show days the Hospitality Desk is open from 7.30am to 5.30pm.
When you check in at the registration desk, you will be given your Show Identity Pass and a Show Bag. Please note that your identity pass must be worn at all times and to all functions. The Show Catalogue and marina maps can be viewed on our website and downloaded - please note that these will be added just before the start of the show.
Getting around the show
You can opt to hire a car or utilise taxis and the range of shuttles that are provided for show delegates. If you’re interested in getting a hire car, it’s a good idea to book it for collection from the airport as that saves the need to get a transfer as well. There are a number of car rental companies to choose from - check them out on our local transport page and get a few quotes before deciding which to go for. A hire car is a particularly good idea if you’re taking an extended holiday before or after the show and fancy exploring the island.
Show shuttles
Show shuttles will be provided from 5th-8th December and can be identified by ACYM banners that are positioned on the sides of the buses. These shuttles will transport you between Nelson’s Dockyard Marina, Falmouth Harbour Marina and the Antigua Yacht Club Marina. The shuttles wait in front of each marina and this service is available between 9am and 6pm.
Evening shuttles are available between 6pm and midnight to take you back to your hotels from Nelson’s Dockyard or Antigua Yacht Club. These shuttles will be waiting in front of the marinas and there is also a number you can call in your show program on the shuttle page. Please note that if you need transport to your hotel after midnight, a fee will be charged. You can utilise Sheppy Taxi out of hours - call 1 (268) 723-0312.
St James’s Club also provides their own shuttle service for guests. On the days of the show - 5th-8th December - there will be a shuttle bus leaving St. James’s for the Marinas at 7.30am and 9.00am, and leaving Nelson's Dockyard for St. James’s between 6.00pm and 7.00pm.
There will be golf carts with chauffeurs standing by at Nelson's Dockyard Marina to shuttle show attendees down the docks to view the yachts. The golf carts will circle the marina picking up and dropping off passengers along the way. This should give you more time to view the yachts and less time walking to them. Show attendees are free to flag down the golf cart shuttles and hop in for a ride to their next location on the marina.
Water taxis will be available between Antigua Yacht Club Marina and Falmouth Harbour Marina between the 5th and 8th December, from 9am to 6pm daily.
Evening social events
Our attendees list the evening social events as one of the show highlights every year. They’re always well-attended and lots of fun. They also provide fantastic networking opportunities, giving you the chance to meet a wide range of industry peeps. Check out the event schedule for details of each social event, allowing you to plan your outfits. This is particularly important for the After Show Party - keep your eye on our social channels for updates on this year’s theme!
