2026 Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race

The Annapolis Bermuda Ocean Race is an event like none other! The 753 mile race provides a unique combination of inshore and offshore racing through its route down the Chesapeake Bay, across the Gulf Stream, and onto Bermuda. The race, held bi-annually, is technically challenging, physically taxing, and alternatively boisterous and serene. It is not just a boat race, it is an aspirational event that enables many sailors to fulfill a lifelong ambition: a blue water passage to a coral island with pink sandy beaches and legendary hospitality.
