Warm turquoise water, trade winds, stunning island scenery…if this sounds like the panacea needed after a few years of being stuck at home, join us for a week of fabulous racing and remarkable camaraderie – March 23rd - 29th, 2026. It’s game on and we’re ready to race! Register now HERE.
Longtime sponsor Nanny Cay Resort and Marina will again be the host of the 2026 event which will be 100% focused on world-class racing, delivering the top-notch experience to which sailors and regatta followers have become accustomed over 50 editions of this beloved regatta.
With a modified format, the Sailing Festival will begin with the Scrub Island Invitational Regatta, a fun race taking the fleet to the eastern islands, such as Virgin Gorda, before arriving at our host for the day, Scrub Island Resort and Marina where sailors can enjoy an afternoon of festivities, food, and music at the resort.

Registration has opened for the 2026 BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival, one of the Caribbean’s top regattas. The event has moved forward a week from previously published dates and will take place March 23-29. This move away from the Easter period should make it easier to attend in terms of flight, accommodation, and boat availability.
With over 60 islands and cays, and sheltered sailing waters, the British Virgin Islands are known as the ‘Sailing Capital of the World’. The Regatta attracts a diverse fleet of international racing boats in addition to a strong bareboat fleet. Sailors can enjoy the two-day Sailing Festival, the three-day BVI Spring Regatta, or all five days of racing.
The Scrub Island Race will kick off the Sailing Festival on Tuesday, March 24, and the Nanny Cay Cup Round Tortola Race will take place on Wednesday. After a Lay Day on Thursday, the three-day BVI Spring Regatta kicks off on Friday, March 27.
While most sailors compete on their own boats, a sizeable number of the annual fleet compete on charter boats, and there are plenty of charter options available, from bareboat to performance race boats.
