English Harbour, on the south-east coast in the parish of Saint Paul, is the most famous corner of Antigua. It's home to Nelson's Dockyard, the restored Georgian naval base that's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and to one of the island's largest expat communities: British and North American retirees, yacht owners and crew, and a lively winter social scene around the marina. With Falmouth Harbour next door, it's the centre of island sailing.
Because so many people here are relocating or setting up a home rather than sending the odd barrel, most moves to English Harbour are full households and furniture. We connect you with one vetted partner who packs and protects everything in the UK, ships it, clears it and reassembles it at your new home near the harbour.
Full and shared containers do most of the work here, with furniture handling built in.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.
Shared or full 20ft and 40ft for a large load or a home.
Coming home for good? Bring used effects in under the concession.

Setting up a home by the harbour usually means shipping furniture, and that's where the handling matters. Your vetted partner export-packs each piece, builds made-to-measure crates for fragile, heavy or high-value items, and dismantles and reassembles beds, wardrobes and large tables. For a full relocation, a shared or full container carries the lot. A local broker clears it at Deep Water Harbour, with returning nationals bringing used effects in free of duty and ABST, and others budgeting for duty and 15% ABST. Your partner manages the run from the city across to the south-east.
From Deep Water Harbour in St John's, your goods travel about thirteen miles across the island to English Harbour, Falmouth and the surrounding hillsides, on roads that wind down to the coast. Your partner handles access for villas and marina properties. Moving to nearby Falmouth or elsewhere? Browse every area on the Antigua and Barbuda hub.
Relocating to the harbour usually means dealing in more than one currency. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency, so you keep more of what you change. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
A move to English Harbour usually means a full home and furniture, so it deserves an experienced mover. We connect you with one partner suited to the route, holding FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark for international movers audited by Ernst and Young, with BAR Overseas the UK marker. Their crews crate, ship and reassemble, and a local broker clears at Deep Water Harbour.
