Let’s Set Sail Together; Sports, People and Nature on the same team
The Aruba Regatta Foundation announces the 16th Aruba International Regatta. The event takes place from Friday July 10 to Sunday July 12, 2026 at Surfside Beach, Aruba.
Sailors from Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and the region come together for two days of racing and Caribbean celebration. The regatta is open to all levels, from young Optimist sailors to experienced yacht crews.
Sailing classes include: Optimist, SailQube, F11, Beachcats, Sunfish, Laser, Yacht Racing, Yacht Cruising, Yacht Live Aboard, Multihull, and new this year: Wingfoil.
A special part of the regatta is the Miniatuurboot race, organized by our partner Stichting Rancho. These small handmade sailboats are a proud Aruban tradition and a beloved part of the event for young and old.
The Regatta Village at Surfside Beach is the heart of the event with registration, entertainment, food and drinks under the tent. Friday evening opens with drinks and snacks, music and networking. Racing takes place on Saturday and Sunday on the waters in front of Surfside beach.
