Antigua Bermuda Race

The Antigua Bermuda Race is less about shore-side spectacle than about the drama of a serious ocean passage and the satisfaction of watching boats arrive in Bermuda after several days at sea. Because the course is long and conditions can shift, the race carries a genuine expedition feel rather than a harbor-sprint atmosphere.

For travelers already on the island, the best part is the arrival energy around the finish and local yacht-club scene, where crews trade ocean stories and Bermuda briefly becomes the finish line for one of the western Atlantic’s classic bluewater tests.
