Our trip to Antigua with Aqua Panda was truly unforgettable, one of a kind, and once in a lifetime! Our hosts Peter and Kata were beyond generous and made us feel very comfortable and welcome from the start. Their attention to detail, level of preparation, and knowledge of the island made for a very organized and fun adventure. We were able to see so many beautiful places we would not have been able to get to without a boat and start each day bright and early with our favorite water activities. Whether it was snorkeling, paddle boarding, or kitesurfing we could do it all from the boat. They are such genuine, kind, and warm people to be around. We had many good laughs together and are so grateful this trip introduced us to them. We miss our new friends and hope one day we can sail on Aqua Panda again!

Kata & Peter were fantastic hosts, they went way beyond just providing accommodation . We spent time sailing together, we shared food together and they were very happy to show us the best places to socialise and snorkel in Barbuda. We had an amazing time and will definitely return. We would recommend their accommodation to anyone looking for fun and exciting sailing adventures. Sarah & Nick

We had the most unreal week with Aqua Panda in Antigua. From day one it was pure freedom: sailing around the island, seeing those shoreline views you only get from the sea, hopping off to explore little beaches, and somehow ending up at a floating cocktail bar like it was the most normal thing in the world. We got seriously blessed with wind and kitesurf conditions. My personal highlight was Green Island — absolutely brilliant. Proper flat water, solid consistent wind, boat launch or beach launch whatever you prefer, almost no other kiters, just tons of space and that dreamy “is this place even real?” vibe. It’s been a while since I last experienced this! And it wasn’t just sailing and kiting. The snorkelling was amazing too. Proper “wow” water: azur blue, crystal-clear, and full of life. Saw tons of coloured fishes, stingrays, a blue-spotted ray, sting, and at one point I genuinely got outswum by a turtle😂 We even caught lobster and conch and turned it into the freshest lunch ever — nothing hits quite like eating what you just caught! Hanging with the Kata, Peter, the other guests and most importantly Choda was such a big part of what made it special. A great mix of like-minded water enthusiasts and kiters — the kind of crew where everyone’s stoked, everyone gets it, and the vibes stay high from sunrise to sunset. Great energy, loads of laughs, evenings filled with card plays, while being looked after during the day with healthy meals. Basically: epic sailing, insane kiting, unforgettable snorkelling, amazing people, and a trip that somehow felt both adventurous and effortless. THANK-YOU!! Already looking forward to coming back. 🌬️⛵️🪁🐢🍹🦞

Katalin and Peter are one of a kind host. They were flexible with my reservations and were so responsive to my request and needs. Not only that, this trip will forever live in my heart with the accommodations provided!! I'm already planning my next visit! Csoda, the dog, is so precious and friendly as well! Already miss her morning greetings!

Katalin and Peter were very gracious hosts. The Aqua Panda was as beautiful as the surroundings. If you are into kite surfing, this is the place for you!

Kata and Peter were amazing hosts, couldn't ask for someone better! They went out of their way to even pick me up right by the airport, and helped shuttle me back and forth to the island where I was attending an event during the stay. The Aqua Panda is a beautiful vessel and of course the surrounding environment is awe inspiring. The bed was comfortable and, in spite of it being quite warm outside (about 80 degrees), I was able to sleep comfortably. It was just me on the boat, but I'd definitely book with them again if I was returning to the BVI with a group, too. They've got a stand up paddle board, various water sports equipment, and a friendly dog, Choda. Overall an amazing trip - only wish I had more time to hang out with them and enjoy the Aqua Panda life.

The wind moves the sails and the sea moves the boat —
