Caribbean Perfection
The BVI Spring Regatta is the one Caribbean Regatta that has some thing for everyone who attends. Whether you race, cruise, practice or just come to party, we have it all!

Race & Cruise your way through the BVI

The weeklong BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival takes you throughout the beautiful British Virgin Islands. Starting at Nanny Cay the Sailing Festival races up the Sir Frances Drake Channel to the renown Bitter End Yacht Club.

After the warm up, the BVI Spring Regatta kicks off three days of some of the best racing in the Caribbean. Only the best survive to take home the Gold and the Glory, along with great stories and experiences that keeps sailors coming back year after year.
