The International Rolex Regatta, now in its 38th year, continues to offer the perfect combination of competitive racing and a laid-back Caribbean vibe, all set against the backdrop of the stunning U.S. Virgin Islands. Hosted by the St. Thomas Yacht Club, this year’s three-day event, running from Friday, March 25, to Sunday, March 27, promises an unforgettable blend of thrilling races and vibrant island festivities.
Participants will take on race courses that highlight the coastal beauty of the U.S. Virgin Islands, navigating through breathtaking cuts, cays, and islands. Off the water, attendees can enjoy lively shore-side activities, including a reggae concert and an extraordinary Rolex Awards Ceremony, both perfectly capturing the “tropical paradise” spirit.
The event consistently attracts top-tier teams from the U.S. and Europe, but local talent from St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and St. Martin also ensures fierce competition. For sailing enthusiasts, regatta competitors, and Caribbean travelers, the International Rolex Regatta is more than a race; it’s an experience that celebrates the art of sailing and the culture of the islands.
