Summer Camps

Where Adventure Meets Awareness 

Ready to trade ordinary summer plans for an unforgettable island adventure?

Join Second Star Sailing Antigua for a 14-day sailing experience that’s all about exploring, learning, and living in the Caribbean lifestyle.

You’ll sail around Antigua, anchor in hidden coves, hike to incredile lookout points, and take part in eco-tours that connect you to the ocean, all while earning three internationally recognized RYA certifications!

Discover Antigua by Land and Sea
Each day brings a new adventure. Set your course for Antigua’s crystal blue waters, snorkel vibrant reefs, and explore its lush coastline by boat. You’ll visit our world famous harbour, English Harbour, discovering the island from both the deck and trail. When the anchor drops, it’s time to dive in, explore ashore, or just relax under the Caribbean sun.

Adventure with Purpose
This isn’t your average summer camp, its an eco powered sailing journey. We are partnered with a variety Eco conscious organizations and together we will;

• Kayak through Antigua’s mangroves in a floating classroom tour
• Travel to Barbuda to visit the Bird Sanctuary
• Snorkelling to see Antigua’s marine life and reef restoration. 
• Joining in community outreach for beach cleanups, then recycling it into creative art projects. 

Just to name a few. 

Life on Board

You’ll live aboard our training yachts with a small crew of fellow adventurers. Cook meals together, swim during breaks, and fall asleep under the stars after a full day of sailing. It’s the prefect mix of fun, friendship, and freedom, with the ocean as your classroom.

Earn Royal Yachting Associations (RYA)

Learn by doing and gain real seamanship skills while exploring Antigua’s coastline. By the end of camp, you can earn up to three RYA certificates. 

1. RYA Competent Crew Course: Ready to become a key member of a sailing crew? You’ll steer the boat, trim the sails, learn knots, and tackle maneuvers like docking, anchoring, and man overboard drills. From nautical terms to basic navigation, you’ll learn it all—and have a blast doing it. 
2. RYA VHF Radio Course: Get the certification for marine radios! This course teaches you how to use a VHF radio — communication with marinas and other boats, using distress signals in case of emergencies and more.  
3.  Sea Survival Course: What would you do in an emergency at sea? This one-day class teaches you how to stay safe, use life rafts, signal for help, and keep calm while waiting for rescue. It’s hands-on, practical, and boosts your confidence on the water. 

Bonus Course 

(OPTIONAL AFTER THE CAMP, BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT!): 

1. RYA Powerboat Level 2: This two-day course provides hands-on training in powerboat handling and safety. Learn techniques for docking,  anchoring, planing-speed maneuvers, collision avoidance, docking, and man overboard recovery drills.
