Registration momentum is building for the 37th Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta, and we are delighted to share that many classic yachts have already confirmed their place on the starting line for April 15-20, 2026.

Among those already registered are Ticonderoga of Greenwich, Aschanti IV, The Blue Peter, and Saharet of Tyre, with more entries arriving each week.

With entries coming in from across the Caribbean, North America, and Europe, the 2026 fleet is shaping up to be another exceptional gathering of beautifully maintained classics, historic designs, and passionate sailors. As always, the regatta promises spirited racing by day and the unmatched camaraderie of Nelson's Dockyard by night.

If you are planning to join us, now is the perfect time to register. Yachts that register and pay before March 1, 2026 are eligible for the Early Bird discounted entry fee.

Register your yacht here and secure your place in the fleet.

The Notice of Race is now available and includes full details on eligibility, fees, and racing format. Access the NOR here. If you are unsure whether your yacht qualifies, the eligibility guidelines are also available online, and our team is always happy to assist with questions.

Founded in 1988, the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta remains true to its roots: celebrating sailing heritage in a welcoming, sailor-run regatta set within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Nelson's Dockyard. Each year, it is the shared experience ashore and on the water that keeps owners, crews, volunteers, and supporters returning.
