Spice it up in Grenada for Grenada Sailing Week on the Isle of Spice!

Established in 2012 by a group of sailing enthusiasts and marine representatives, Grenada Sailing Week continues the keelboat regatta first organised in 1993 by the Grenada Sailing Festival.

The first GSW event took place in January/February 2013, and since then, it has become firmly established. Participant numbers have grown, courses have been fine-tuned for more challenging racing, classes added to accommodate a wider range of yachts, and venues selected to showcase the best of Grenada.

In 2019, the regatta saw 50 registrations, with over 350 sailors from more than 15 countries. Come aboard and join the excitement and fun as this popular event goes from strength to strength! The regatta features five days of fun and sailing frolics around the island. Four of these days include different races followed by evening parties, while the remaining day is a lay day with activities. Our package includes four days of training.

Grenada is a beautiful island shaped by its intriguing history of South American and European settlements. It boasts rainforests, lakes, waterfalls, mile-long beaches, and fabulous cuisine, both local and international.

  • European Mile Builder Leg 6: Malta to Gibraltar
    AAAA
    October of 2023
    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
