Aruba International Regatta. Bigger crowds and stronger regional participation headline this year’s regatta off Aruba’s Surfside Beach. New for 2026 are an expanded Regatta Village tent, enhanced shoreside activities, and increased entries from neighboring islands. An estimated 75 to 100 sailors will compete in Optimist, Sunfish, Laser, Beach Cat, SailQube, F11, yacht racing, yacht cruising, live-aboard yacht, and multihull classes. “We’re seeing stronger participation from across the region and have expanded the venue to accommodate that growth,” says organizer, Rik van der Vaart. aruba-regatta.org
