October 5–11, 2026
Bonaire’s biggest sporting event adds even more action on the water this year. Caribbean Rampage debuts as a new multi-sport competition, bringing several water-sports disciplines together for serious and recreational athletes. The expanded focus on youth sailing includes new facilities at Kas de Regatta and a long-term ambition to bring the Optimist World Championship to Bonaire, further establishing the island as an international sailing center. Traditional favorites remain, from yacht, Sunfish and boto di piskado racing to the Swim to Klein Bonaire, Regatta Run, Flag Parade and waterfront festivities in Kralendijk.
