Chase The Race Sea Tours

What better way to get a taste of ASW’s 50th edition races than to actually be out on the water alongside the racing yachts! For the first time, ASW is offering the opportunity to Chase The Race EVERY day. On Mon., Tues., Thurs. and Fri. you have the additional excitement of a great beach party as well.

Sunday sees the start of the racing with our traditional Chase the Race, setting off and returning to Falmouth along with two other boats starting from hotels around the island. You return at around 3 pm.

Make your way to Falmouth Harbour on Sun., or you will be picked up from the beach at Dickenson Bay, Hawksbill, Jolly Beach, Cocos, Curtain Bluff, or Carlisle Bay and taken to the races where you will spend a couple of hours watching some of the best sailors in the world pitching their skills against each other.

On Mon., Tues., Thurs. and Fri. at around noon, you will then set off for a beautiful sail along the coast before enjoying a delicious Caribbean lunch on board and then you will head off for some Antiguan fun on the beach! Each day, there is a party on a different beach – with a different DJ and games – but the same warm waters, warm smiles and all-inclusive bar. Plus each beach will have a cash bar if you fancy treating yourself to a quintessential Pina Colada or other delicious cocktails!

Your boat will then set sail for home at around 5 pm and no doubt the party will continue on board as the bar reopens for the homeward stretch!

English Harbour Rum Prize Giving Day 1 & the English Harbour Rum Fest @ Antigua Yacht Club
Apr 30 @ 3:00 pm – May 1 @ 10:00 pm

The brand that is totally synonymous with Antigua Sailing Week – English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum – will kickstart the afternoon prize giving by hosting the English Harbour Rum Fest at the Antigua Yacht Club. Daily 1st, 2nd and 3rd place class winners will be invited on stage to collect their winners’ burgees along with a bottle of English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum for 1st place winners.

Bars open at 3 pm and at 4 pm a crew bartender competition will provide some light entertainment and maybe even some great comedic moments. Crews are invited to submit their teams of three for the chance to win, from Antigua Distillery, a “Cask of Gold” containing a bottle each of Cavalier Gold Rum, English Harbour 5 Year Old Rum, English Harbour 10 Year Old Rum and the latest two additions to the family – English Harbour Sherry and English Harbour Port. A prize definitely worth entering for! Points are awarded for creativity, presentation and taste among other categories.

DJs Jack and Kenny D will create an intoxicating party atmosphere to keep you entertained. As the sun sets, live music from 1761˚ will get the crowd dancing to Reggae, Soca, Pop, R&B and even a bit of Rock ‘n’ Roll. The Rum Bar will keep the drinks flowing and when hunger strikes Bar-B’s and Club Sushi will be able to feed the hungry monster inside.

The next day is a bank holiday, so everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the party
