Superyacht Regatta, Seakeepers Bash Lined Up for America’s Cup

The America’s Cup Superyacht Regatta, hosted by Boat International Media, will take place June 12-15, during the 35th America’s Cup in June in Bermuda. For the second time, superyachts are invited to join the America’s Cup action and participate in their very own regatta.

Before the America’s Cup Match begins, there will be a chance for superyachts to get in on the thrill of racing in Bermuda with the America’s Cup Superyacht Regatta, which forms part of the overall America’s Cup Superyacht Program.

Boat International Media has been appointed by the America’s Cup Event Authority to organize the America’s Cup Superyacht Regatta, which is being delivered in conjunction with the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.

Racing will take place North, East and South of the eastern portion of Bermuda (offshore racing).
The America’s Cup Superyacht Regatta 2017 is an invitational event, open to sailing yachts whose LOA is 80 foot or greater. The fleet will be divided into classes based on the size and specifications of the entrants.

Following the regatta, on Thursday, June 22 from 7–11 pm, the International SeaKeepers Society will host its annual Bermuda VIP event.

Throughout its existence SeaKeepers has made it a practice to honor and promote those key decision makers and influencers who have made extraordinary commitments to preserving our planet’s oceans. The exclusive gathering of yacht owners will come together to recognize The SeaKeepers of Bermuda against the electrifying backdrop of the America’s Cup celebrations. 

The event will honor the 2017 SeaKeeper of the Year, Wendy Schmidt, and the 2017 SeaKeepers of Bermuda, Philippe Max Rouja, Judy Clee, Chris Flook and John Paul Skinner. The evening will also highlight the work of the International SeaKeepers Society in partnership with the yachting community through the DISCOVERY Yacht Program.

The International SeaKeepers Society promotes oceanographic research, conservation, and education through direct involvement with the yachting community. SeaKeepers enables the yachting community to take full advantage of its unique potential to advance marine sciences and to raise awareness
about global ocean issues.

Year-round SeaKeepers’ DISCOVERY Yachts facilitate programming by providing access to the ocean for research, scientific discovery, community outreach and artistic inspiration. From hosting learning excursions for underprivileged kids to facilitating scientific research for genome sequencing, yachts are the platform to enable accomplishments.
