The ninth edition of the Superyacht Challenge Antigua will take place from Jan 30 – Feb 3, featuring a programme of four races held over four days for yachts of 80 feet and over. The fleet for this spectacular regatta has now assembled in Antigua. With just over a week to the first race, boat captains and their team are readying themselves, and the magnificent yachts, for a memorable celebration of superyacht action and fabulous evening entertainment.

The racing off the south coast of Antigua will be magnificent; the trade winds have been blowing for many weeks. Warm air, solid breeze and a good sea state promise perfect conditions for the powerful fleet. Designed to be solely for the pleasure of superyacht owners, their guests and crew, the Superyacht Challenge Antigua organises competitive racing and laid back parties. Nelson's Dockyard, the UNESCO World Heritage site, is party central with festivities organised at the Super Yacht Dock beach. The historic Admiral's Inn hosts the Welcome Party at Boom Restaurant, and a Prize Giving amongst the 18th century pillars of the famous hotel.
