The experience
The west coast is where Antigua's calmest water is, and the Mystic takes its time along it. You sail past small bays with virgin sand, stop to swim, then carry on to a second beach where the crew anchor while lunch is prepared.
Lunch is a lobster buffet — succulent lobster with a glass of sparkling wine — served on deck. The open bar stays open through the afternoon, and there is time to swim, snorkel or simply lie on the sand before the sail back to St. John's.
It is the most relaxed of the catamaran days, and the one most often booked for anniversaries and birthdays. Private charters of the Mystic are available for groups who want the whole boat.
What to expect
A slow day along Antigua's west coast aboard the Mystic, with two stops at quiet beaches and a lobster lunch buffet served on board. The lobsters are bought locally, and the bar is open all day.
