Antigua Sailing Week has been held annually at the end of April since 1968. It is one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious regattas with more than 100 yachts participating annually. The event is centred around five days of competitive racing off the rugged south coast of Antigua.
Since 2016 Peters & May has been the official shipping and logistics partner working with the Minister of Tourism and key industry stakeholders, as well as the Port Authority and the Antigua and Barbuda Marine Association to ensure a personal and professional service is delivered to all clients.
Peters & May also sponsor the Peters & May Round Antigua Race (link here: https://www.sailingweek.com/roundantiguarace) which takes place on first Saturday of the regatta. Open to all boats, whether they are participants of Antigua Sailing Week or not, the race is open to classic boats finishing their season following Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta, and boats present in Antigua in advance of the Antigua to Bermuda Race in May.
Discount for ASW competitors
As a proud sponsor, Peters & May offers a participant yacht shipping discount for any boats fully entered for Antigua Sailing Week, with a further discount for a round-trip transatlantic shipment.

We recognised some years ago the importance of yacht transport options to and from Antigua, especially at the end of the season after Antigua Sailing Week, to provide yacht owners with an option to ship their boats from Antigua to their next destination following the close of the Caribbean season. We work alongside Peters & May with the Minister of Tourism and key industry stakeholders, as well as the Port Authority and the Antigua and Barbuda Marine Association to determine how we can deliver the best service for our visiting yachts. We are therefore delighted that Peters & May is backing us and extending its commitment to Antigua Sailing Week, by sponsoring the Peters & May Round Antigua Race which kicks off our week of racing.
