Fiji’s Iconic Annual Regatta Week Celebrates 40 Years
11-15 September
One of the most popular events on the Fiji calendar, the Annual Fiji Regatta Week will celebrate its 40th year when it returns to Musket Cove Island Resort and Marina next month.
Celebrating four decades of sailing, adventure, and island fun, the 2024 Week will be held from 11th to 15th September. Over 60 yachts are expected to fill the bay, bringing together yachties, families, and guests from around the globe for an unforgettable week in the heart of the South Pacific.
Marking a significant milestone for the event, this year’s regatta promises a packed schedule of both water and land-based activities, featuring daily races and social events. Highlights include a welcome dinner, daily prizes, and the legendary Pirates Day, where competitors race to Como Island dressed as pirates. A standout event will be the “Party Like it’s 1982” bash on the 13th of September—an exciting nautical-themed night with live music, fun games, and a vibrant atmosphere celebrating past regattas.
In addition to Regatta Week, Fiji remains an ideal year-round destination for sailors, boasting 333 islands to explore, crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and breathtaking landscapes. For those planning their next sailing adventure, here are some top spots that make Fiji perfect for sailing:
Yasawa Islands: A stunning cluster of 20 volcanic islands, the Yasawa Islands are an unspoiled paradise for sailors looking to fish, snorkel, or swim on pristine sandy beaches.
Mamauca Islands: Featuring gentle waters, the Mamauca Islands boast numerous sheltered anchorages, such as Musket Cove and Vomo Island, making them ideal for families on sailing holidays.
Taveuni Island: Known for its lush landscapes and vibrant coral reefs, this lesser-known island offers an enriching sailing experience where you can immerse yourself in local communities.
The Lomaiviti Group: Home to some of Fiji’s finest sailing, the Lomaiviti Group features stunning natural beauty with opportunities for reef exploration and hiking.
Kadavu Island: Located south of Fiji’s main island, Kadavu Island is renowned for its world-class diving at the Great Astrolabe Reef and rugged landscapes, providing an off-the-beaten-path sailing experience.
