The sixth edition of the Ibiza JoySail regatta has secured its first 13 superyachts, setting a high bar for competition in September 2026. These vessels, ranging from 89 to 131 feet, highlight the event's international appeal and technical standards in the Mediterranean superyacht circuit. Organizers report strong enthusiasm from owners and captains ahead of the races around Ibiza and Formentera.
The Ibiza JoySail regatta, now in its sixth edition, is gaining momentum with the confirmation of 13 superyachts for the event scheduled from September 17 to 20, 2026, in the waters of Ibiza and Formentera. This initial fleet represents more than half of the maximum capacity of 20 yachts and underscores the regatta's growing prestige within the global superyacht community.
The confirmed entries include a diverse array of vessels: Aurelius from JOM Holland, Cervo and Inoui both built by Vitters, Geist by Spirit Yachts, Karibu from Oyster, Moat by Nautor’s Swan, Win Win from Baltic Yachts, Rose by Wally, and Nostromo from Pendennis Shipyard. Joining them are four yachts from Southern Wind: Gelliceaux, Kalantis, Liberty Squared, and Morgana. These superyachts, with lengths between 89 and 131 feet, embody the Corinthian spirit of the event, where owners and crews participate without modifying their yachts from their original designs.
Organizers initiated the process with invitations sent in late January 2026, followed by a second phase targeting previously interested participants. The response has been positive, with many expressing intent to join even before official registrations opened. Ana Teske, a member of the organizing team, noted: “We’re seeing very strong enthusiasm from both captains and owners. Many expressed interest in joining even before registrations officially opened, which shows the level of trust and connection that has developed with the regatta year after year.”
Additionally, the Perpetual Trophy for the fastest Mallorca-to-Ibiza passage will have its record attempt window from August 15 to September 16, 2026. As further entries are anticipated, the edition promises heightened competition both at sea and on shore for participants.
