Regatta Charters

There’s something electric about being on the water during a major sailing regatta. These charters put you right in the action at events like Antigua Sailing Week, the Rolex regattas, or Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. You can either participate in the racing itself—complete with experienced crew who know how to handle competitive conditions—or position yourself at the best vantage points to watch the fleet round marks and battle for position. Either way, you’re not observing from shore; you’re part of the scene.

Beyond the racing, regattas are as much about the atmosphere as the competition. These events draw sailing enthusiasts from around the world, and the social calendar rivals the racing schedule. Evening prize-givings, dockside parties, and informal gatherings at waterfront venues create a festival atmosphere in places like English Harbour or the port of Saint-Tropez. Your yacht becomes your base for the entire event—wake up in the harbor, head out for the day’s racing, return for sunset cocktails, then step ashore for whatever the evening brings.

These charters work best when timed around specific regatta dates, typically running from late winter through early summer depending on location. The yachts are performance-oriented sailing vessels equipped to handle both spectating and racing, with crews who understand the rhythms of regatta life and can navigate you through both the sailing and social aspects of these storied events.
