Superyacht Challenge in Antigua

The Superyacht Challenge Antigua is an invitational event, open to superyachts in excess of 30 metres but yachts of 25 metres can also request entry. The Oyster 82 Zig Zag (25m) is expected for her eighth regatta in a row. Last year Zig Zag won the Gosnell Trophy for the second time.

The Superyacht Challenge has one clear objective; to provide all the facilities to stage an ideal event for an exclusive selection of superyachts with superb racing and excellent laid-back parties ashore.

The final race of the 2023 Superyacht Challenge Antigua was held off the South Coast of Antigua on Sunday 12 March. The weather this year was more Mediterranean than Caribbean but the spirit of regatta was unchanged. Now in its 12th edition, the Superyacht Challenge Antigua is an exciting, friendly event, designed to be solely for the pleasure of superyacht owners, their guests and crew.
