Antigua Rigging

Over the last 24 years, Antigua Rigging has built a well-earned reputation as one of the Caribbean’s “go to facilities” for all rigging services, as well as refit / repairs and project management services.

The late Stan Pearson's team offer a wide range of skill sets alongside a great depth of professional experience shared by Stan himself.

Services include full project management / refit & repairs - for yachts of any make and size. Although a completely independent refit & rigging operation, Antigua Rigging repeatedly attract service and repair contracts (both in out of warranty) from major yacht brands including Oyster, Discovery, Swan and several others. Their rigging loft is located next to a good yard and haul-out facility.

Our heartfelt thoughts to Stan's family, friends and work team at Antigua Rigging with his recent passing, in February 2024. 

For over 20+ years, 'Stan-The-Man' built a well-earned reputation as one of the Caribbean’s “go to facilities” for rigging services. As a business principal, Stan shared his wide range of skill sets alongside a great depth of professional rigging experience with his team. As one Captain shared, "It's Stan’s sailing experience that puts Antigua Rigging in a class of its own."

Stan was a world class racing yachtsman, indeed, when not at the helm of Antigua Rigging, he regularly helmed some of the highest profile superyachts on the racing circuit, always in demand for Superyacht racing!

Stan was also one of the founders and organisers of The Superyacht Challenge, with Paul Deeth. It is now well-established as one of the major superyacht race events of the Caribbean winter season.
