The St. Maarten Heineken Regatta is an annual sailing event. For four days, in early March, crews from around the world gather on the island of St-Marteen to race monohulls, multihulls, and large yachts.
Turquoise waters, steady trade winds, a pure Caribbean backdrop… the conditions are ideal. On shore, the atmosphere blends high-level competition with a festive island vibe.
This year will already be the 46th edition of this iconic regatta.
Experience the event from the inside aboard the ORC57 Avel Vaez: you’ll likely finish among the front-runners…
Racing will start on March 5, 2026. We invite you to join our crew a few days beforehand: you’ll be able to settle in comfortably on board, get to know everyone, and take your first sails to get familiar with the catamaran.
Early 2026, the Heineken Regatta will be the perfect opportunity to test our catamaran in real racing conditions!
