SVG Sailing Week
SVG Sailing Week is a multi-event sailing series held each spring across the islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, bringing together competitive yacht racing and vibrant Caribbean cultural celebrations. The nine-day event links two signature regattas, creating one of the region’s most dynamic sailing festivals.
The series begins with the Canouan Cup, staged in the waters around Canouan. This opening championship features international yacht racing and offshore passages through the Grenadines, showcasing the steady trade winds and scenic sailing conditions of the southern Caribbean.
Following the Canouan Cup, the action shifts north to Bequia for the renowned Bequia Easter Regatta, a long-standing Caribbean sailing tradition featuring racing for classes such as J/24 sailboat class, J/80 sailboat class, the Surprise sailboat class, and traditional double-ender boats that reflect the region’s rich maritime heritage.
Beyond the racing, SVG Sailing Week is known for its lively shoreside celebrations, with beach parties, cultural events, and prize-giving ceremonies that bring together sailors, locals, and visitors in a festive island atmosphere.
