Sailing & Boating

Fair Winds and Good Vibes

More than 400 years ago, Bermuda was found by a crew of hardy shipwreck survivors. Today, our island still beckons sailors to its shores. With temperate weather all year long, calm and clear waters, and a rich maritime heritage, Bermuda is the perfect place to hoist your sails or drop anchor. Cheer on your team in the Bermuda Sail Grand Prix, embark on a sightseeing cruise, or island-hop like a VIP on a private excursion.

Sunset & Sightseeing Cruises

Prefer to be a passenger? Glide over Bermuda's colourful reefs in a glass-bottom boat or book a diving or snorkelling adventure. Wind down with a festive sunset sail or hop aboard a midday outing complete with refreshing drinks. Learn to sail with lessons from a pro, book a deep-sea fishing charter for tuna, marlin, and wahoo, or take a spring whale watching tour to see humpbacks on their journey toward cooler northern waters.

Sailing Races & Events

Bermuda’s competitive sailing season kicks off in style with the Bermuda Sail Grand Prix, presented by Hamilton Princess. Teams from the United States, Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand and beyond compete for the prize at speeds reaching up to 50 knots (about 60 mph) in cutting-edge F50 catamarans. Other renowned events include the Newport-Bermuda Race (the world's longest-running regatta, also known as the "Thrash to the Onion Patch") and the 35th America's Cup. The island's sailing events are fun to watch from the shore, or from a boat on the water – bring your binoculars!
