The barkentine Antigua has sailed European waters for over fifty years. Originally built as a fishing vessel in Great Britain in 1957, the ship was transformed in 1993 into the classic three-masted vessel we see today. During this restoration, the Antigua was reconfigured into a beautiful and unique ship enhancing its elegance and sailing performance. In 2021, a new deckhouse was added, providing a cozy, sheltered space where guests can stay warm and dry while taking in the views.
