Dates announced for 2012 Caribbean Superyacht Regatta & Rendezvous

29 July 2011

Following the unprecedented success of the inaugural Caribbean Superyacht Regatta & Rendezvous we are delighted to announce that the second edition of this unique event will take place March 14–17, 2012 at the brand new YCCS Virgin Gorda, in the British Virgin Islands.

Organized by Boat International Media and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), the Caribbean Superyacht Regatta & Rendezvous will once again bring together sail and motor yachts owners for four days of racing, fun activities and glittering social events in the idyllic surroundings of Virgin Gorda and her neighbouring islands.

What a fantastic time at the Caribbean Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous – gorgeous location, amazing weather, beautiful yachts, great racing and fun catching up with friends – can’t ask for much more than that.’ – Kevin and Teresa Jaffe, owners of Marama

Developed by Victor International, the new YCCS on the northeastern tip of Virgin Gorda boasts a state-of-the-art marina with total dockage of 762 meters (2,500 ft) accommodating yachts up to 100 meters (328 ft) in length, as well as a variety of convenient services designed specifically to serve the yachting community. The club and marina will be linked to the Oil Nut Bay Resort Community and Beach Club as well as Biras Creek Resort, a Relais and Châteaux property

Transatlantic Superyacht Regatta confirmed for November 2011

YCCS and Boat International Media continue to expand our portfolio of sailing events for superyacht owners in the new Virgin Gorda location, partnering for the inaugural Transatlantic Superyacht Regatta. A diverse fleet of sailing yachts over 80ft in length will set off from the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands on November 21, 2011 and navigate approximately 2,600 nautical miles of the North Atlantic Ocean to the finish line off Virgin Gorda. A warm welcome will be waiting for all participants with the official opening of the new YCCS Virgin Gorda Clubhouse which offers spectacular views over North Sound.
