Horizon Yacht Charters is very excited to announce the arrival of three new catamarans to their fleet.

Antigua welcomes a 2010 Orana 44- this catamaran, designed by the renowned Joubert/Nivelt team, can comfortably sleep 8-10 people.  A light and airy saloon along with a large deck area makes this an ideal choice for a family or large group of friends.

Grenada welcomes a 2006 Leopard 4000 – This award winning 4 cabin, 2 head catamaran has great ventilation and abundant light. The cockpit is very well designed with 360 degree visibility from the helm and with a fully opening salon door, it can easily integrate with the galley and salon creating one very large living space.

BVI welcomes a 2008 Voyage 500 – this bright and extremely spacious catamaran sleeps 8 in comfort and style. All four cabins have the luxury of an en-suite with shower, ensuring complete privacy for couples aboard. A fifth double cabin can also be found between the two forward cabins. A modern galley and saloon, along with a sophisticated navigation system, completes the look.

Horizon Yacht Charters has now officially expanded into the American market.  Managing Director, Kenny Feld, along with the founding directors, Sylvia Driver and Andrew Thompson, welcomed a whole host of industry partners, the media, yacht owners as well as  members of the general public, to celebrate the opening of the new office.

The base in Yacht Haven Marina in Eastport, Maryland, will serve as the U.S. arm of  Bavaria Yachts and charter guests will have a choice of Bavaria boats in the 2011 Cruiser range.

The base is also an American Sailing Association (ASA) accredited sailing school, offering instruction to those wanting to learn to sail or wanting to improve on their sailing skills.  A comprehensive yacht management programme is also available.

Durley Dene, a Bavaria 36 in the Horizon Yacht Charters fleet in the BVI, won its class with five wins in the 40^th anniversary BVI Spring Regatta which took place April 1 – 3.  Durley Dene, crewed by staff, family and friends of Horizon Yacht Charters and the smallest yacht in her class, won each race by minutes not seconds, beating other yachts up to seven feet larger.

Here’s a little movie I put together that sums up why Antigua is such a special cruising destination… I hope you agree!

Horizon Antigua – discover Antigua.

If there’s a heatwave where you are and no breeze, then you should plan for a trip to the glorious Caribbean islands of Antigua & Barbuda this October.  With easterly trade winds cooling the islands, we offer the perfect October time sailing destination. Plus, the temperature is a steady 26 – 28 degrees year-round!

Where else can you be the only yacht anchored in crystal clear blue water alongside 11 miles of pristine white sand? Where else can you explore Antigua’s 18th century dockyard and relive Nelson’s naval history? Where else can you discover a myriad of offshore islands home to families of sea birds? Step back in time this October and enjoy the Caribbean as it used to be with our super ‘summer sailing’ specials.

Just US$1800 for 7 nights in October on a small monohull up to 44′ and US$2500 for all other monohulls in our fleet – subject to availability.

With direct flights from Atlanta, Charlotte, Newark, Miami and San Juan – what are you waiting for?  The waters warm, come on in!

Antigua & Barbuda…. so many possibilities…

Dean 44 Catamaran arrives Antigua soon!  Charter from our stunning Antigua base from new season 09/2010.
