Ibiza JoySail Superyacht Regatta 2025 Returns to Marina Ibiza
Ibiza is once again at the centre of the Mediterranean yachting world as Marina Ibiza prepares to welcome the fifth edition of the Ibiza JoySail Superyacht Regatta. What began just five years ago with four competing yachts has now grown into a prestigious event attracting 22 impressive superyachts – plus a waiting list – a clear sign of its growing reputation.
Among the contenders is the legendary S/Y Moat, a constant presence since the very first edition, having won her category every single year. The regatta, running from 18 to 21 September, highlights Ibiza’s unique allure: breathtaking landscapes, rich history, a vibrant culinary scene, and a cosmopolitan energy that make it a truly special yachting destination. Marina Ibiza, in the heart of the town, offers world-class facilities and an atmosphere that blends elegance with warm Mediterranean hospitality.
The event enjoys strong support from both the Ibiza Town Council and the Island Council, ensuring not only its continuity but also its positive impact on the island’s tourism and economy.
A highlight of the season is the Mallorca–Ibiza Perpetual Trophy, a high-adrenaline challenge covering 48 nautical miles from Punta Cala Figuera (Mallorca) to Tagomago (Ibiza). Taking place between 16 August and 16 September, it’s a true test of speed, skill, and strategy. The current record – three hours and thirty-one minutes by S/Y Maximus – sets a formidable benchmark. While Maximus won’t compete this year, seasoned yachts such as S/Y Gellicaux and S/Y Aurelius are ready to take up the challenge.
With more yachts, stronger competition, and an unbeatable Ibiza backdrop, this year’s Ibiza JoySail promises an unforgettable celebration of sailing excellence and island spirit – a perfect end to the Mediterranean summer.
