The Antigua–Bermuda Race is a 935 nautical mile race which provides the opportunity to experience true blue-water sailing in a supportive, mixed-experience team.

When you book onto this race you are fully committing yourself, you will not be a passenger on this race entry. The team feel strongly that clients should feel that this is your boat to race and they facilitate that in every way they can. There will be only 5 people in the crew, and the result of this race will depend on each crew member!

As a long-distance race, the crew will be operating a watch system. This normally means that a crew is split up and alternates being on/off watch. Often it’s 4hr shifts with shorter shifts from 16.00-18.00 and 18.00-20.00 to ensure that you are not always on watch at the same time of day/night.

The race starts from Antigua on 29 April 2026, perfectly timed with Antigua Sailing Week and finishing in Bermuda just in time for the world-class SailGP events (9–10 May).

Covering around 935 nautical miles, this legendary Atlantic crossing is suitable for sailors who may be new to offshore racing but are ready for a meaningful challenge. After the training day the skipper will allocate roles to the team based on their performance during training.

After leaving Antigua and passing Barbuda, land disappears and the real adventure begins: warm trade winds, rolling Atlantic swells and unforgettable nights under a star-filled sky.

Offshore yacht racing can be difficult, and every crew member must fully acknowledge their physical condition and experience and take responsibility for all their actions on the boat. You’ll learn, grow and gain confidence as part of a focused team, sharing watches, responsibilities and the quiet magic of ocean sailing.
