I have been sailing with Miramar 3 times now & will definitely book again. Great instructors, great location & great fun, what else could you ask for.

We booked the Ladies Lunch Sail with Miramir Sailing for our day in Antigua. What a fantastic day with Captain Kevin and Wayne aboard his beautiful sailboat. Kevin was entertaining with stories of the islands, sailing and history of the area. A perfect day snorkeling and sailing with my sister and our daughters, just the 5 of us enjoying our...

Four of us (two couples) signed up for a Comp Crew course and a Coastal Skipper course. Pippa was our Instructor. As the weather was lively, Pippa was very understandjng and adjusted our itinerary to ensure minimal discomfort whilst still competing the syllabus components. Phoenix (our home for a few nights) was an older model but extremely robust (and felt...

In October, 2014, I had the privilege of attending an RYA course on one of Miramar Sailing's three training boats. We got the 1980s Beneteau 40 "Miramar", which I enjoyed at it was a stout vessel and the instructor, Ian, was cheerful and very competent. Alas, we got only 4 out of 5 days as day 1 was interrupted by...

Dear Marc D,
Thank you very much for reviewing your recent RYA sailing course with us. You certainly picked an exciting week, luckily these storms are very rare in Antigua. We were pleased to hear you enjoyed the yacht and Instructor Ian.
We hope to see you back again for a "less eventful" first day next time.
Thanks again and...

My wife and I had a great time at Miramar with our instructor Ian. Since we've been just 2 persons beside Ian, we learned a lot and feel fully capable now to charter a yacht. Miramar is nicely located at Jolly Harbor. Just plan your stay in advance - waterfront villas are booked heavily. We can recommend to everybody to...

If you have the following ingredients: Great weather, good regular winds, a beautiful scenery and good boats, you're doing quite well as a sailing school.
What makes Miramar very special is the quality of the instructors. They are the best. Competent, obviously, many have crossed the Atlantic a number of times and have decades of sailing experience. But competence is...

Simply put, when it comes to sailing there is now place more ideal than the Caribbean and these guys are professionals. I came with very little sailing experience and left with a wealth of knowledge and new found confidence. Our Captain Ian was very passionate and knowledgeable about sailing. He knew alot about the nuances of customs and immigration going...

The good? Excellent sunset and photo opportunities. Quite spectacular. Wonderful 2 man crew, though only Wayne really interacted with us. Nice yacht with lots of room.
The not so good? Very rushed. Was supposed to be 3 hours, but ended up closer to 2, maybe 2 and a half. Which meant we had to wait another half hour at the...

My partner and I chartered Hawnalea for the day - a 47ft classic ketch of 30+ years age. This yacht is very spacious with adequate deck room for lying in the sun and plenty of room down below. We chose to take the 8 hour sunset cruise which took us South from Jolly Harbour to just beyond Turner's beach and...

Dear Tony,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We are all very happy you enjoyed your cruise with Captain Kevin. You describe your day perfectly and your photos are just brilliant! Hawnalea can be your private yacht anytime and we are sure the idyllic surroundings of Antigua will remain the same for your next...

found this sailing school on the internet and trusted the excellent reputation on tripadvisor: expectations were totally met. I had a great 5 days sailing course (competent crew level) with a very experienced captain really passionate about teaching sailing and about the island.
Other than pure sailing, we also had cheerful dinners and generally speaking circumnavigating Antigua is an amazing...
