The success of last year’s event with over 80 sails on the water inspired the organization to take this year’s edition to a next level. At Surfside Beach, next to the airport, a regatta village will be built to ensure entertainment, music, food and beverage and a spectacular view on the races. The Aruba International Regatta is not only an event for the participants in the yacht races: the regatta village is a gathering point for people who want to enjoy a view of the races, have a relaxed afternoon on the beach or, of course, are looking for a beach party.
Two regatta volunteers will build a rowing boat on the beach during the regatta weekend as a demonstration that watersports can also be enjoyed on a tight budget. On Sunday, August 11 at around 5 pm the boat will be auctioned at Surfside and the profit of this auction will be donated to SYWA the organization that trains the youngest sailors of Aruba. The supplies for this rowing boat have been sponsored by Kooyman.
All events and races take place at Surfside Beach. Together with the other sponsors like Budget Marine, ALBO, WEB-Aruba, Cafe 080, Kooyman, Studio Advisory, Power Systems, ASD, ADCTRA, this regatta will surely be an event you shouldn’t miss! Most participants are already preparing for the races and a number of international competitors have already confirmed their participation in the races.
