Where better to de-stress than on the tropical island paradise that is Antigua. Nestled in the middle of the island chain, Antigua makes the perfect start point for any Caribbean sailing cruise – north, west or south. Now, to make it even more tempting and stress-free, we have teamed with Ashtanga yoga specialist Leilani to offer a complementary, one-on-one yoga session or a relaxing neck, back and shoulder massage. What better way to relax after an exhilarating sail, cruising the glorious waters of Antigua? This promotion is for new charter bookings taken between now and the end of May 2010. One massage or yoga session per new charter. The great thing is that Leilani – Californian born – can teach from the earliest beginner, up to advanced level.

Horizon Antigua adds ASA 105 to its Learn to Sail curriculum
Saturday, November 21st, 2009 | Author: JackieHorizon Antigua is an American Sailing Association (ASA) certification sailing school. We’re delighted to add the ASA Coastal Navigation Theory 105 course to our Learn to Sail Curriculum. Students of the ASA 105 will be able to demonstrate the navigational theory required to safely navigate a sailing vessel in coastal or inland waters.
Our Learn to Sail programme has structured levels of sailing standards including ASA 101 Basic Keelboat, ASA 103 Coastal Cruising, ASA 104 Bareboat Chartering and now the ASA 105 Coastal Navigation, which are examined at progressive certification levels.
Our ASA Instructor Dave has an impressive sailing resume with over 30 years experience sailing and instructing around the world. We offer the American Sailing Association ‘learn to sail’ courses to groups of friends or family. Courses are also available with a 2 bedroom villa option if guests prefer not to have overnight accommodation onboard a yacht. Drop me an email for more information; Jackie at info@antiguahorizon.com

ASA Learn to Sail with a twist!
Monday, November 2nd, 2009 | Author: JackieWhat’s the twist, I hear you ask! So many times we are asked if it would be OK for our guests who are keen to take sailing courses (we offer ASA 101-104 from here), to bring other guests who do not want to take any ASA Learn to Sail courses. Well, Antigua is just perfect for that scenario as you can take a waterfront condominium with your own 50′ dock and your non-sailing, non-learning friends can either chill out or they can choose to come along with you for a day or perhaps more. Jolly Harbour Marina in Antigua is perfect for this. Non-sailors can enjoy two white sand beaches, large swimming pool, 18-hole golf course, tennis courts and gym… to name a few activities, and choose from numerous restaurants and bars. The waterfront condominiums sleep four people in 2 double bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Not only that, but there’s also a/c, TV/DVD and waterfront patios – perfect for outdoor dining or fishing! We’ll be putting more information about this on our What’s New page so look out for that and you could just have the dream vacation you’ve been looking for! Something for everyone… and you get plenty of practice docking on your own dock!
