Grenada Sailing Week
Grenada Sailing Week takes place Late Jan - early Feb 2027 (confirm on the official site; the event traditionally runs at the end of January) in St. George's, Grenada. The dress code is Relaxed tropical casual and swimwear throughout; there is no smarter tier to this event. Typical cost ranges from 300 to 2500 EUR per person.
A small, unhurried regatta at the southern end of the Caribbean chain, sailed off Grenada's south coast and based at Camper & Nicholsons Port Louis Marina in St George's. The fleet is largely cruisers wintering in Grenada plus a handful of visiting racers, and the shore programme runs on beach parties and rum rather than sponsor tents. It is the antidote to the bigger, glossier Caribbean events.

How to attend
Base yourself around Port Louis Marina in St George's; shore parties at Grand Anse and the south-coast bays are open and welcoming, usually with a small cover charge. Watch racing free from the south-coast beaches and headlands. To race, register a boat through grenadasailingweek.com - this is one of the friendliest regattas for cruisers and first-timers - or find a crew berth by asking around the marinas, which works better here than almost anywhere else in the Caribbean.
Racing is free to watch from the south-coast beaches and the shore parties charge a small cover on the night, so there is no ticket to buy in advance.
Insider tip
Grenada sits below the hurricane belt so hundreds of boats overwinter here - crew places are genuinely easy to pick up just by asking around Port Louis Marina and the Prickly Bay bars in the fortnight before.
