Antigua Slipway Ltd.

The season may have slowed down, but we certainly have not.

Our cul-de-sac is now fully booked as we embark on a summer of extensive refits, repairs, and major projects here at Antigua Slipway.

For generations, this area has been known as the “Hurricane Hole” of the Caribbean — a reputation earned since the 1700s. Sheltered, secure, and purpose-built for serious marine works, it remains one of the safest and most protected dockage workspaces anywhere in the Eastern Caribbean.

From classic yachts to modern superyachts, summer at the Slipway is all about craftsmanship, hard work, and keeping vessels ready for the seasons ahead.

ATHOS at Antigua Slipway.

The largest two-masted schooner in the world made a powerful impression at our fuel dock today.

At 64m / 210ft, ATHOS is where classic sailing soul meets world-class engineering — a global voyager, designed by André Hoek, built by Holland Jachtbouw, and refitted by Royal Huisman.

From her carbon rigging and push-button sail handling to her crow’s nest elevator and unmistakable profile, ATHOS is not just a yacht — she is a statement.

Proud to welcome her to Antigua Slipway.

Humans of Slipway - Episode 15

Meet Shaloy.

Shaloy joined Antigua Slipway in 2022 and has steadily grown into his role as Assistant Yard Manager, becoming a quiet force at the heart of our operations. Born and raised in English Harbour, his connection to the yard and the sea runs deep, and it shows in everything he does.

He is a cornerstone of our trailer and railway operations, guiding each haul out with precision, care, and an instinct that only comes from true hands on experience. From routine maintenance to complex lifts, and even diving beneath the surface when needed, Shaloy ensures that every vessel is handled safely and with confidence.

There is a natural rhythm to the way he works. Always focused, always present, often with a tool in hand, he carries a mechanical intuition that keeps the yard moving forward. Over time, he has taken on greater responsibility with quiet determination, earning the respect of both colleagues and clients alike.

A proud owner of a classic Toyota Hilux, Shaloy embodies the spirit of someone who builds, fixes, and improves with purpose. Dependable, grounded, and deeply committed, he is as much a part of the Slipway as the railway itself.

In the video, he can be seen maneuvering Argo, the Mini Globe Race vessel, a moment that reflects the calm control and capability he brings to every operation.

Shaloy is not just a leader in the yard, but a trusted presence, someone who carries the weight of responsibility with humility and strength.

Thank you, Shaloy 👏

Meet Carmen.

Carmen is our Facilities Attendant, responsible for the cleaning and sanitation of our restrooms, staff quarters, chandlery, and office spaces. Her role is essential in maintaining the standard and presentation of the yard, ensuring both staff and clients experience a clean and comfortable environment.

With a strong attention to detail and an attentive nature, Carmen approaches her work with care and consistency. This is her first season with us, and she has been working hard from day one.

A proud mother of four, three daughters and one son, Carmen brings warmth and positive energy to the team. She enjoys Christian music and can often be found listening to her favorite songs while keeping the yard in order, adding a touch of rhythm to her day.

Always open for a conversation and full of Latin spirit, Carmen carries herself with kindness and a smile. If something is not quite right, she is always ready to step in and make it better.

Thank you, Carmen 👏
