Soak up the Caribbean sun as a soft breeze rustles the palm trees, and the sound of waves creates the perfect backdrop for a weekend of island fun. That’s what you can anticipate at the 32nd Annual St. Croix International Regatta from April 11–13, 2025, at the St. Croix Yacht Club. 

And this is no simple race. It’s a celebration and a chance to enjoy the Caribbean’s liming lifestyle.

Sailing, Sunshine, and No Worries

For three amazing days, the clear waters of Teague Bay will be buzzing with excitement. Sailors will adjust their sails, chasing the wind through the stunning Buck Island Channel. With different types of boats competing — from fast one-designs to big cruising yachts — every race is filled with strategy, skill, and island magic.

Don’t know how to sail? Fret not. There's no better view than from the shore with a drink in hand, cheering for the pros as they go for gold. The atmosphere is electric, and the competition is intense. But at the heart of it all is that easygoing Caribbean vibe — warm, inviting, and full of joy.

"The regatta extends beyond the racecourse, fostering a sense of community engagement." — Mike McCarty, Regatta Organizer and Sailing Enthusiast.

The Party Begins After the Races

When the racing ends, the real excitement kicks off. Every evening, the St. Croix Yacht Club comes alive with island culture. Live music fills the air, fire dancers take center stage, and you can smell the fresh seafood sizzling on the grill. Picture a slow-roasting pig, the beat of steel drums, and the refreshing tang of rum punch — that’s what life in the Caribbean is all about.

And this is where liming truly comes to life. Hang out with friends, old and new. Share stories, have fun, dance, and enjoy life. Whether you’re a competitor or a spectator, join in and feel the island vibe.

A Regatta for Everyone

The St. Croix International Regatta isn’t just for experienced racers. Young sailors get to show what they can do, too!

With a special Optimist class racing series, kids get to test their skills on the calm waters of Teague Bay. It’s a fantastic way to introduce them to sailing while keeping that fun Caribbean spirit alive.
