Selected teams from around the world receive complimentary entry to the regatta and financial assistance to cover event costs.
The program reflects Bacardi’s dedication to creating a diverse and inclusive environment for young athletes. By collaborating with the International Star Class, Bacardi aims to inspire and support young sailors in their racing endeavors. Since its inception, the program has enabled numerous teams from various countries to compete at the Bacardi Cup and provided additional financial support to the top U30 team to participate in the Star Class World Championship.
The 98th Bacardi Cup is scheduled to take place from March 2-8, 2025, at the Coral Reef Yacht Club in Miami. Known for its exciting racing and vibrant atmosphere, the regatta attracts a mix of sailing legends, World Champions, and aspiring sailors.
