Nelson’s Dockyard is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for full marina services, keeping sail, motor, and larger yachts safe. Indeed, it is a great place for anchoring in the Caribbean.

Falmouth Harbour, near the Antigua Yacht Club, is more convenient for most yacht services. Many businesses sell duty-free dry goods there as well. A wide range of marine services are here, with happy hours and jump-up nights.
