Ibiza JoySail has emerged as a premier event for late summer in the Mediterranean, drawing attention from yachting enthusiasts worldwide. This exclusive superyacht regatta, endorsed by STP Shipyard Palma and Marina Ibiza, continues to grow in prestige and participation each year.
This year’s regatta will feature twenty elite superyachts, the maximum number allowed as determined by the organizing committee. Scheduled for 19-22 September, Ibiza JoySail has quickly established itself as a standout event on the international yachting calendar, promising an exhilarating experience for all involved, thanks to the unwavering support from various companies and institutions.
Race Logistics
Effective technical and logistical support is crucial in a competition of this caliber. Five esteemed technical companies will provide comprehensive services during the event, including North Sails for sail repairs, RigPro for rigging needs, and Sailmon for real-time yacht tracking. Additionally, Global Yachting Ibiza will support the organizing team with a fleet of stylish chase boats, while Yacht Moving will manage the logistics of tender and equipment transfers to ensure timely deliveries.
First-Rate Partners
Participants will benefit from the presence of Varadero Ibiza for urgent repairs and Monzó Yacht Painting, known for its expertise in sailboat painting. Super Oh will handle provisioning, with the Marina Ibiza Concierge Service managing all logistical details to enhance the event experience for participants.
These partnerships affirm Ibiza JoySail’s status as a world-class yachting event, backed by leading companies and a dedicated support team.
Commitment to the Environment
Environmental sustainability holds significant importance for the race venue, Marina Ibiza. Repsol, one of the official suppliers, showcases its dedication to the yachting industry by offering renewable fuels. They will operate a fuel station at Marina Ibiza, servicing both competitors and the organization’s boats.

Beyond the exciting activities at sea, Ibiza JoySail includes a robust shoreside program, ensuring that every team’s needs are met. The Ibiza JoySail Hospitality Village, with its breathtaking views of Dalt Vila, provides an ideal setting for breakfasts and captain’s briefings, as well as evening relaxation for crews after racing. Nighttime activities will include leisure and entertainment, creating unforgettable moments that define the event.
The evening festivities at iconic venues like Roto and Filin will feature Tequila Don Julio, enhancing the atmosphere and playing a vital role in the awards ceremony.
