The experience
You board the Mystic II at Dickenson Bay and are handed a glass of sparkling wine from the open bar. The catamaran has a sun deck and plenty of quiet corners, so you can sit with a group or find a spot for two.
The boat cruises the calm water off Antigua's north-west coast as the light changes — palm trees on the shoreline, white-sand beaches, and the green hills behind them. Hors d'oeuvres are served as the sun drops below the horizon and the Mystic II turns back for port.
It is 2.5 hours, which makes it an easy evening rather than an excursion. Wear shorts, because your feet may get wet when you board.
What to expect
Antigua has some of the most dramatic sunsets in the Caribbean, and the best place to watch one is on the water. The Mystic II sails from Dickenson Bay at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, with sparkling wine on boarding and hors d'oeuvres as the sun goes down.
