New Bermuda Race 2026

The Newport Bermuda Race is a legendary biennial 635-mile offshore sailing challenge, typically taking three to six days to complete. Most of the journey unfolds out of sight of land, navigates through the notoriously complex Gulf Stream, and tests both vessel and crew endurance. It’s celebrated for its competitive fairness, safety record, and vibrant amateur—and often family-driven—spirit, with trophies awarded during an elegant ceremony at Government House in Bermuda.
