Once more for 2025, Antigua Sailing Week and CalvinAir get high above the Caribbean sea with an adrenaline filled aerial chase for individuals or groups of 6.

Tours are about 30 minutes long and leave from the western coast at the CalvinAir launch pad.  En route to the racing area, you will get a breathtaking view of the Antiguan landscape as you make your way to the southern coast.

If you’ve never had a helicopter experience there’s no better first-time than during ASW races.

Price per person US$215.

Places are limited – so to reserve your spot call  l 268 789-4354 and reference ASW CHASE THE RACE . You can also email reservations@calvinair.com to be a part of  this exciting adventure.

NOT A SAILOR. NOT A PROBLEM!

There’s no better way to get a first-hand experience of Antigua Sailing Week’s (ASW) races than to actually be out on the water alongside the racing yachts!

From Sunday 27 April  through Thursday 1 May, Chase the Race sets off and returns to Falmouth Harbour so you will be completely immersed in the activities of a typical race day. Without the anxiety of needing to cross the finish line in good time.

Board daily at 9am and head out to the start line of races where you experience the exhilaration of boats as they fight to get the best position before they cross the start line. Then you will be able to spend a couple of hours watching and photographing some of the best sailors in the world pitching their skills against each other.

You will then set off for a beautiful sail along the west coast for a beach stop and be served a delicious Caribbean lunch on board before your boat sets sail back to the docks at around 3 pm. All in time to get to the Antigua Yacht Club for some cold ones and join in the afternoon prize-giving festivities.

All boats have shade, on board toilets, life jackets, trained First Aid personnel and serve unlimited water & drinks.

Tickets for this incredible experience will be available soon. So check back in the near future if you don’t want to be left on the docks!
