The most spectacular tradition of December 31: a 24-mile pursuit race around the island bringing together racing yachts and superyachts, just hours before the New Year's Eve festivities. The turn of 2026 set a record with 226 superyachts over 78 feet at anchor — the largest gathering of yachts anywhere on the planet that evening. The event spills straight into the parties of Gustavia and Saint-Jean.
Line-up : Superyacht owners and charterers (2026 fleet record: 226 yachts over 78 feet); billionaires and celebrities aboard vessels chartered through Edmiston, Burgess, Fraser, Camper & Nicholsons
Participation by invitation or registration (sailing yachts and superyachts); free viewing from Gustavia, Shell Beach and Fort Karl
