Museum of Antigua and Barbuda
Inside the 1750 courthouse that serves as the museum, one finds stone tools dating back 2,000 years, to the Archaic Age. These treasures share space with pottery, shells, fossils, and even a full-sized model of an Antiguan fishing canoe. The museum also hosts an extensive research library, a place to turn when curiosity strikes. It promises big things—to tell the story of the islands from “geological birth to political independence”—and delivers. Long Street, St. John’s 268.462.1469 • antiguamuseums.net

None other than Admiral Horatio Nelson stayed here in the Naval Officer’s House, which is still standing today, among many other fully restored historic buildings from the time period. Nelson’s Dockyard is a historic attraction, the gem of the Antiguan National Park system, but it’s also the oldest working dockyard in the world, dating back to the Georgian era. Shops and restaurants fill the buildings today, while hiking trails lead to various historic military outposts throughout the park. English Harbour 268.481.5021 • nationalparksantigua.com

If you’ve got two and a half hours and a thirst for adventure, the unique Antigua rainforest canopy ecotour is a must-visit. The long tour begins after a walk across an “Indiana Jones-inspired” suspension bridge, just to get the juices flowing. Then, it’s out above the gorge, 200 to 350 feet in the air, sometimes as long as 300 feet on one go. Reservations are recommended, and safety regulations are strictly enforced.

Indian Town National Park
Hiking trails stretch through the park, offering a unique experience in a place where land and sea eternally battle. The extreme eastern shore of Antigua is the most rugged part of the island, the place where the prevailing subequatorial easterly winds push the waters of the Caribbean relentlessly into the exposed bedrock. Erosion created the Devil’s Bridge, a naturally curved limestone arch, and, at their highest, the tides shoot rushes of water into geyser-like spouts through the porous rocks that dominate the area.

As there are two nations controlling separate sides of the island, the best avenue would be to err on the side of caution: Be sure that all aboard have passports. More importantly, crew members joining a boat have sometimes experienced difficulty with Immigration officials if they are unable to show an onward ticket. Captains of yachts expecting crew are advised to contact Immigration in advance. On the French side, all yachts must clear in and out of St. Martin, and all captains should report to Customs and the gendarmerie. Immigration is situated in the ferry building at the dock, open from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and 2 to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. No clearance is necessary for yachts transiting from St. Martin to St. Barths. On the Dutch side, there are two ports of entry. In Great Bay, Immigration is located just outside the port gates, open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week. The Clearance Office is open from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to noon on weekends. In Simpson Bay, Immigration is located in the Police Station (599.542.2222) and monitors VHF 12. Be sure to also check in with the Simpson Bay Lagoon Authority (599.545.3183). Clearance is necessary for yachts moving from the Dutch side to the French side.

Quickly broken down, the major themes of St. Martin’s history are the early inhabitants, slavery, the salt industry, and everything that has come since the end of the salt industry. The native Arawaks predated the French and the Dutch. When the latter arrived, they brought slaves and the birth of the salt industry. The museum hosts exhibits on 2,500-year-old ceramics, the wreck of the HMS Proselyte, and the power of Hurricane Luis, which struck the island in 1995.

Sint Maarten Zoological Park
The largest zoological collection in the Caribbean does not disappoint. It starts with the local species, like the red-footed tortoise and the mongoose, and expands from there. The gardens on the premises are the key, a mix of zoological, botanical and floral that offer a wide habitat range for numerous Caribbean and American animals. The largest gathering of tropical parrots in the Caribbean is supported by capybaras, green vervet monkeys and a rainbow boa. Arch Road Madame Estate, Philipsburg stmaartenzoo.com • 721.543.2030

BEST of the
Last year, as many of you know, CAPTAIN’S GUIDE produced a video: “Chartering in the BVI.” It was so wellreceived, viewed and shared that we paired with the BVI Tourist Board again this year to produce a follow-up video that answers the question: “Now that we are here, what should we do?” Our good friend Charles Tobias, founder and CEO of Pussers, suggested using the amazingly talented Tom Lowe out of Massachusetts to shoot and produce the video. Tom has more than 35 years of experience in filmmaking, and as an added bonus he is just as in love with the BVI as we are! So, this past March, Tom and I experienced and filmed all of the best activities the BVI has to offer. ON THE WATER The BVI is a sailor’s paradise, and Captain Gary of the 50-foot luxury catamaran Kuralu specializes in creating custom adventures. As he says, you bring the sunblock—they do the rest! We had an amazing day of peaceful sailing and stunning video shoots. kuralu.com For a faster pace, Dean at C&D Power Boat Rental provides day charters on a fleet of powerboats, everything from 12-foot inflatables to 32-foot luxury speedboats, available with or without skippers. cdpowerboats.com UNDER THE WATER Mike and Keith Royal at Blue Water Divers took us to their favorite dive spots. With 35 years of experience in the BVI, you are guaranteed a safe and spectacular day below the turquoise waters. Whether you are an avid diver with many years’ experience or a novice looking to learn and become certified in one of the world’s best diving locations, Blue Water Divers are your underwater experts! bluewaterdiversbvi.com IN THE WATER We were thrilled to meet Manuel Gilbert at Dolphin Discovery in Road Town. We had a great time learning about and interacting with dolphins in such a beautiful natural environment. dolphindiscovery.com ABOVE THE WATER One of the most thrilling adventures was the helicopter ride with Rick, the owner of Antilles Helicopter.

Dolphin Discovery
It’s an adventure that can only be undertaken in the right climate. While dolphins swim the seas the world over, it’s the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin that we romanticize, we love. At Dolphin Discovery at Prospect Reef, swimming with these magnificent marine mammals is where the adventure begins. A dolphin tow can have you moving through the water at speeds you never imagined you’d reach without a Jet Ski. Swimming with dolphins offshore is a possibility; doing so at Dolphin Discovery at Prospect Reef is a certainty. Prospect Reef, Tortola dolphindiscovery.com • 998.193.3360

Anchoring in Cane Garden Bay, one is faced with a small, seemingly undiscovered white sand beach ringed with restaurants that serve seafood specialties on openair decks just feet from the water. A single street away is the Callwood Rum Distillery, as it has been for more than 200 years. The Callwoods themselves began the process of turning sugar into rum in the early part of the 19th century, and their process has never changed. Cane Garden Bay, Tortola

The Islands

They both underwent invasions after World War II, when the sleepy offshore places were “discovered” by families looking to build second homes in the prosperity of the times. Today, the names of both islands are synonymous with escapism. In season, they lose their true character, the identity by John Galluzzo that only the year-rounders know. On both islands, pushes are on eography says that Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket for historical preservation and are not very far from each other. Google Maps says landscape conservation.
