Grenada Sailing Week returns from January 31 to February 5, 2027, bringing six exhilarating days of racing and shoreside celebration to Grenada and Carriacou. With Port Louis Marina in St. George’s serving as an event location, this cherished regatta invites local supporters, visiting crews, seasoned sailors, and curious first-timers to share in Grenada’s warm maritime spirit.
Out on the water, the tri-island state provides a spectacular natural arena. Expect competitive sailing through blue seas, with courses designed to showcase both Carriacou and Grenada. The established format combines racing around Carriacou, an offshore passage south to Grenada, a lay day, and energetic around-the-cans competition off Grenada’s southern coast. Trade winds, shifting tactics, and a diverse fleet ensure there is always something compelling to watch.
The excitement continues when the sails come down. Grenada Sailing Week is equally loved for its sociable atmosphere, where competitors and spectators gather over cold drinks, swap stories from the day’s racing, reconnect with old friends, and dance to local bands. It is the kind of event where international crews and Grenadian sailors quickly become part of the same spirited waterfront community.
You do not need to be an experienced sailor to enjoy the week. Follow the fleet from scenic coastal viewpoints, spend time around the marina, or make the occasion part of an island escape filled with beaches, local food, and sunset drinks. Those eager to compete will find a welcoming regatta open to professionals, experienced campaigners, and newcomers alike.
Mark your calendar and prepare to “Spice it up” on the Isle of Spice. Grenada Sailing Week pairs Caribbean racing with effortless island hospitality, delivering an experience that feels thrilling offshore and warmly familiar on land. Whether you arrive to race, cheer, socialize, or simply admire the yachts, this is Grenada at its breezy, beautiful best.
