Bay of Islands Sailing Week
19–23 January 2026

Bay of Islands Sailing Week is one of New Zealand’s premier sailing regattas, bringing together sailors, spectators, and sailing enthusiasts for a week of world-class racing in the spectacular Bay of Islands.

Held annually, the event features competitive racing across multiple yacht divisions, set against the region’s sheltered waters, island-dotted coastline, and ideal summer sailing conditions. The regatta attracts both national and international competitors and is a highlight of the New Zealand sailing calendar.

Beyond the on-water action, Bay of Islands Sailing Week is known for its vibrant shoreside atmosphere, social events, and strong sense of camaraderie, making it just as enjoyable for visitors and spectators as it is for competitors.

Registrations are now open, and sailors are encouraged to secure their place early.
