The St. Maarten Heineken Regatta is one of the iconic RORC races held in the Caribbean, following the Caribbean 600—an event in which Celeste will also participate.
As the largest sailing event in the Caribbean, the regatta offers a perfect blend of thrilling daytime races and lively social events ashore in the evenings.
You have the option to join the boat in Antigua on March 1 for the cruise to St. Maarten at no additional cost. The journey covers approximately 110 nautical miles, providing a wonderful opportunity to familiarize yourself with the boat and enjoy a leisurely day of sailing.
Alternatively, you can board the boat directly in St. Maarten on March 3. The schedule for the event is as follows:
March 3: Crew arrival
March 4: Training and boat preparation
March 5: Training and boat preparation
March 6: Race Day 1
March 7: Race Day 2
March 8: Race Day 3
March 9: Race Day 4
A prize-giving ceremony will take place at the end of each race day.
During the regatta, you’ll stay onboard, allowing you to connect with your fellow crew members. The boat will be operated by a professional and certified crew fluent in both Scandinavian languages and English.
After the regatta, the boat will sail to Guadeloupe, covering a distance of 180 nautical miles. You are welcome to join this post-event cruise at no extra cost.
The price includes accommodation onboard for the duration of the event, a professional crew, all boat and race-related expenses, as well as meals while racing. Additional costs include flights, transfers, meals and accommodation ashore, and personal insurance.
