Kitesurf Cruise Antigua Barbuda
Kitesurf Cruise Antigua Barbuda – The ultimate kite trip for all advanced kiters and their companions
On board our luxurious sailing catamaran, you will explore the best spots of Antigua and Barbuda with a small group of like-minded individuals. Our kitesurf cruises start in the legendary English Harbour on Antigua. From there, our sailing tour first takes us to the spots on the east side of Antigua: Green Island, Iguana Island, and Hells Gate. From there, we head to Barbuda. According to our guests, the spots there are among the best they have ever seen. On the way back, we sail along the west side of Antigua, for one last kite session at the Secret Spot, before returning to English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard.
Our skippers and coaches are extremely knowledgeable about the area and ensure that each of your kitesurfing sessions is not only safe but also at the best spot of the day.
Kitesurfing in Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua and Barbuda offer consistent trade winds throughout the year. The best wind conditions are from November to July, so you’ll find optimal kitesurfing conditions almost daily. Known for their numerous untouched beaches and bays, many of which offer not only dreamy anchorages but also perfect kite spots, Antigua and Barbuda boast warm, crystal-clear turquoise waters, so you can definitely leave your wetsuit at home. Our kite cruises in Antigua and Barbuda include up to 6 different spots per week. From perfect flat water to small but great waves, there’s something for everyone.
As a guest on our yacht, you’ll kite at spots that you often only have to share with the fellow kitesurfers on our boat. There are no crowded spots in Antigua and Barbuda. The islands are characterized by a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that is typical of the Caribbean. The locals are known for their hospitality, and the rich culture and history of the islands offer additional experiences away from the water.
Kite Spot Guide Antigua & Barbuda
Green Island
Just a short sail away from famous old English Harbour, the first Kite and Wingfoil Spot of our cruise awaits. Green island is an easy accessible spot, where you can enjoy nice flat water conditions inside a large lagoon. A perfect location for a first session.
Windy Cove
The name says it all…
Amongst a maze of little islands and reefs, you´ll find perfect conditions to go out and explore the area. Hop from little island to little island and kite in front of the stunning scenery of Hells Gate.
Spanish Point – Barbuda
Spanish Point on the southern tip of Barbuda is always a highlight of the Cruise. While the Yacht will be anchored nicely sheltered inside the Lagoon, Riders have the choice of enjoying flat water conditions inside the Lagoon or venture outside and find some breaking waves and swell to play with.
Palmetto Point – Barbuda
The second Kite and Wingfoil Spot on Barbuda is situated on the norther tip of the island. Palmetto Point again, offers endless flat water conditions inside the lagoon as well as breaking waves for the more experienced Riders behind the Point.
Antigua – Secret Spot
As a last stop of our Antigua / Barbuda Kitesurf and Wingfoil Cruise, we will stop at the Secret spot. Only accessible by Yacht, this spot is for sure one of our favourites in the Caribbean!
Trip Overview Kitesurf Cruise Antigua Barbuda
A typical day
A typical day in the Kitesurf Cruise Antigua Barbuda starts off with a swim in 26 degree crystal clear, warm water at our berth. In addition to that you can partake in a morning yoga session on the bow of the Catamaran while the crew prepares breakfast.
After breakfast we start into our first kitesurf session of the day. Depending on which spot we choose, our instructors will help you launch the kites from the boat or you will be shuttled to the beach in our small dinghy for setting up your kites. Our experienced coaches will keep an eye on you throughout each of your sessions to keep you safe and ensure that it’s a fun session.
At noon we set sail and while you peacefully enjoy a boosting snack on board, we are heading to our next anchorage point and kite spot. Depending on your motivation you can either have a second kite session or explore the island by yourself or with one of our guides.
At sunset we usually meet with everyone on board to end the day with a sundowner drink on deck and start our evening.
We then either have dinner on board, or if you like, go ashore to find a nice restaurant or a fisherman’s hut for dinner. We organize a small, private ‘rum tasting’ before we hitting the hay.

Living at sea vs. living in a hotel on shore
Imagine waking up each morning to the gentle sway of the ocean, the sound of waves lapping against the hull, and the sight of a breathtaking sunrise over an endless horizon. This is the reality of living onboard a sailing catamaran for your vacation—a reality that offers a level of relaxation and disconnection from the daily grind that is unparalleled by any shore-based holiday. A sailing catamaran serves as your private, floating oasis, far removed from the hustle and bustle of crowded beaches and tourist hotspots. The spacious decks and cabins provide a sense of freedom and privacy, allowing you to unwind and savor each moment.
Living on a catamaran immerses you in the natural world like never before. Each day, we anchor in the best Kitesurfing and wingfoil spots you can imagine, swim in crystal-clear waters, and explore pristine beaches that are often inaccessible from the shore. The sights, sounds, and smells of the sea become a constant backdrop, helping you reconnect with nature and appreciate its simple, yet profound beauty.
One of the greatest benefits of living onboard a catamaran is the opportunity to truly unplug. With limited access to the internet and a lack of constant digital distractions, you can disconnect from the demands of daily life. This digital detox allows you to focus on the present moment, enjoy the company of likeminded people and focus on whats truly important.
