Antigua Bermuda Race

We’re thrilled to announce that we will be racing for the first time in the Antigua Bermuda Race, the fifth running of this classic ocean challenge. The race starts from Antigua, offering an extraordinary offshore sailing experience across the western Atlantic.

Managed by the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club in association with Antigua Sailing Week, and supported by the Bermuda Tourism Authority, Goslings Rum, and Fairhaven Shipyard, the event attracts yachts and crews from a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels.

If you’ve ever dreamed of ocean racing, this is your chance to join us. Experience the thrill of leaving the shore behind, riding the trade winds, rolling with the seas, and navigating under the night sky with Bermuda as your goal. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or looking for your first offshore challenge, this race promises unforgettable adventure and teamwork.

Exceptional, complete, hard and demanding. A challenge that requires the capacity for suffering, the navigation is continuous without respites or stops, guard changes every 4 hours, warm bed. IT IS AN EXPERIENCE TO REPEAT after recovery
