    Day 1 – Welcome on board (Marina Kotor).
    Upon your arrival in Marina Kotor, you’ll be welcomed on board the IMOCA 60. Get to know the boat, meet the crew, and settle in. After a safety briefing and a first familiarization tour, enjoy some relaxing time on deck while soaking up the spectacular views of the Bay of Kotor. Dinner onboard or in town to kick off the experience together.

    Days 2 & 3 – Fleet Arrivals + First Sails at Sea.
    ⛵ The Ocean Race teams are expected to start arriving in Kotor. You’ll have the chance to witness the excitement of the boats entering the bay and docking at the marina. Between arrivals, you can join short sailing trips aboard the IMOCA, take the helm, and participate in maneuvers alongside the crew — a unique opportunity to learn and feel the thrill of ocean racing yourself.

    Day 4 – Fan Day.
    A day fully dedicated to the fans. Join in the celebratory activities around town and at the Ocean Live Park: meet sailors during signing sessions, visit the racing yachts up close, enjoy family-friendly entertainment, and share the passion for ocean racing with enthusiasts from all over the world.

    Day 5 – Ocean Live Park (Kotor).
    Throughout the week, the waterfront of Kotor transforms into a lively Ocean Live Park. Take time to explore the exhibition areas, experience interactive activities, meet the race teams, and discover more about sustainability programs, ocean protection, and high-tech sailing. The Ocean Live Park atmosphere is festive, with food stalls, music, and special events.

    Day 6 – Sailing Day: IMOCA Experience at Sea.
    Spend the day sailing in the Bay of Kotor and beyond aboard the IMOCA 60. Learn the basics of offshore maneuvers, trim sails, and steer the boat under the guidance of a professional crew. This immersive session will allow you to experience what it’s like to be part of an actual racing team.

    Day 7 – Morning Sailing Session + Final Scoring Race.
    ⛵ Start the day with a hands-on sailing session — hoist sails, practice maneuvers, and feel the adrenaline of offshore cruising.
