Regattas are exciting moments if you love boating. But they can also be very interesting if you’re new to this world. And what better way than to be able to witness these unique sporting moments up close? To follow the most famous sailing regattas, why not rent a boat and immerse yourself among the competitors? It will be an incredible moment that will leave you with exceptional memories.

The Main Sailing Regattas

If you’re a boating enthusiast and particularly fond of sailing, you already know the main regattas that take place on the French Riviera. For example, there’s the Voiles d’Antibes which takes place at the end of May, the Voiles de Saint-Tropez at the end of September, or the Régates Royales in Cannes also in September. This last regatta will allow you to observe fabulous ancient riggings. It will also be possible to follow the Autumn Cup of the Yacht Club of France.

Other regattas are present: the Voiles de Cassis (in May) or the Dames de Saint-Tropez, a regatta reserved for women (in April-May).

But in any case, being able to immerse yourself in what the competitors feel is always an optimal choice. And for that, why not accompany them as closely as possible?

Following a Regatta in the Best Way Possible

Do you dream of participating in a sailing regatta, but don’t own a boat or don’t have time to train well? This is not a problem. Because you can obviously follow the desired regatta as closely as possible. How?

You just need to rent a catamaran (or even better, a maxi catamaran). This is indeed a simple way to immerse yourself in this race in the best way possible.

This will indeed be the opportunity to experience the race at the heart of the action. You’ll accompany the crews from the starting line. The adrenaline will skyrocket, yours as well as that of the competitors. You’ll then follow all the maneuvers up close and can cheer for your favorite teams.

With boat rental, you’ll be in the race. The boat you’ll be on will indeed be as close as possible to the competitors. You won’t need to use binoculars to see what the crew is doing. You’ll be close. You can participate from afar in the maneuvers, give your opinion, and listen to the opinions of the skipper accompanying you. He is a boating professional, and even if you’re new to this world, he will share his passion for sailboats and regattas with you. He will offer live explanations, whether it’s about the starting procedure, the position of the boats, priorities on the line, or the different boats in the race.

The world of regattas will then open up to you in the best way possible.

Boat Rental to Follow a Regatta

By renting a boat, you’ll have many advantages. First, you’ll sail on a quality boat, incredibly comfortable. When the regatta is over, you can enjoy your catamaran to discover the wonders of the Mediterranean or relax by swimming in translucent waters. The skipper at your disposal will be at your service to offer you activities that will leave you with fabulous memories.

On board, you have access to the bar where you can sip cocktails, soda, or even coffee, fruit juices, or simply water.

You can take as many photos as you like, and the team on board can help you get fantastic shots.
