What is a Regatta?
We proudly organize many regattas, ranging from 20 to up to 100 people. This type of charter is recommended for:
- big friend or family group
- team-building
- business trips
- as a reward for a company celebration
A “regatta”, by definition, is a racing competition between boats. When it’s not in a competing setting, they’re called a “tandem charter”, which simply involves renting multiple yachts that sail together in coordination. Having various boats following each other is an epic scene!
This allows larger groups to be split in different boats and each boat follows the same route and anchors close to each other, so everyone stays connected. To simplify, we like to call them “regattas”.
Types of Regattas
- Sailing Regattas
- Yacht Regattas

Steps to organize your regatta

Step 2: Choose the Ideal Regatta Type

Step 3: Plan Special Activities
-
Consider organizing a half-day charter if you fully want to enjoy the boats amenities and anchor at a beautiful anchorage where guests can swim, relax, and enjoy water sports.

Incorporate some fun water activities for some trill. The idea is to have fun! Many boats offer equipment for water sports like paddleboarding, kayaking, or jetskis.
Step 4: Plan the Logistics

- Transportation to and from the Marina: Arrange convenient transportation from your accomodation/office to the marina. Costa del Sol counts with many transfer companies.
