St. Vincent and the Grenadines announces its first-ever SVG Sailing Week, a weeklong celebration of sailing, culture and maritime heritage April 13–21, 2025.
The event features two race series: The Bougainvillea Cup (April 13–15), from St. Vincent through the volcanic landscapes and pristine turquoise waters of Mayreau, Canouan, Union Island, and Bequia; and the traditional Bequia Easter Regatta (April 16–21), featuring the Around Bequia Race and the Admiralty Bay Triangle.
Beyond the races, SVG Sailing Week offers post-race events featuring local music, authentic Caribbean cuisine, and island-style festivities. The event will also highlight Vincentian maritime heritage such as Bequia’s boat-building history, which features local shipyards producing handcrafted wooden boats that are still active today. Participants and visitors are invited to enjoy a wide array of attractions, including hiking lush rainforest trails, snorkeling in marine sanctuaries, and unwinding on secluded beaches.
