We're excited to announce the GLY World Odyssey 500, a collaborative around-the-world rally between all of the yacht builders of the Grand Large Yachting Group!

The adventure begins September 2021, commemorating the 500th anniversary of the first round the world voyage by Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastian Elcano, and the 20th anniversary of Grand Large Yachting.

Participants of the Odyssey will receive a suite of support services and events during stopovers, and the enjoyment of a community traveling around the world together while still having the freedom to customize plans. The rally is organized along two different routes (Tropical or Southern), four organized starting points (Cherbourg, La Grande-Motte, Séville or Key West), but of course with the flexibility to join in along the route and detour to visit your dream destinations along the way. Requests to join the full rally or just a few legs will be considered.

This round-the-world sailing event is also a great opportunity to take part in scientific, educational and community projects along the way, all related to the "One Planet - One Future" theme. Learn more here.
