Vive Les Voiles 2025

Les Voiles de St Barths 2025 has sadly been cancelled. Despite this delay, we are thrilled to announce an exciting alternative for all sailing enthusiasts.

In the spirit of camaraderie and love for the sea, we have joined forces with other sailing enthusiasts for some casual and friendly racing around the stunning waters of St Barths. This collaborative event will provide an opportunity for sailors to come together, share experiences, and enjoy the thrill of the sport in a laid-back atmosphere. This event is ideal for those who are not yet prepared for a full regatta but want to challenge themselves beyond cruising.

The start and end dates have been confirmed but alterations may be made to the dates between.
