Antigua
Barkentine Antigua
Day trips, 95 guests, 32 persons in cabins
The Antigua was built in 1957 in Thorne, Yorkshire (U.K.) as a fishing boat and was in service for many years. Looking at this elegant barkentine today, it’s hardly recognisable as the working vessel it once was.
Between 1993 and 1997 the ship was reconstructed - with a magnificent sense for maritime detail - into a beautiful sailing ship with all the comforts of a modern passenger vessel. Sixteen double cabins offer every form of comfort. The Antigua is recognisable for its convincing lines and stylish interior, which ensure your stay will be an exclusive maritime experience.
