ARF, Aruba Regatta Foundation’s vision is to introduce more people to sailing and connect them more closely to nature and sustainable watersport experiences. The Regatta wishes to reach as many young people as possible and introduce them to the joy of sailing.
In 2023, seventy-five sailors, participated in more than forty races, during two action packed days and were awarded 27 trophies, especially designed for the Regatta, made from recycled plastic, and repurposed wood. For 2024, the Regatta aims at attracting more sailors, boats, and spectators to the Regatta Village, set up west of Surfside beach, beach side of the Naptali Henriquez playground.
