22 March 2022

Entries are now open for the Oyster World Rally 2026–27, which begins in Antigua on 11 January 2026.

The event gives Oyster Yacht owners an exclusive opportunity to sail around the world fully supported.

This voyage of a lifetime covers 27,000 nautical miles, crossing three oceans over 16 months, exploring the world’s finest cruising grounds.

From the moment owners sign up, the Oyster World Rally support team is on hand to offer help and advice on everything, including finding the ideal Oyster yacht for the Rally, equipment choices, full training and preparation, finding crew, destination guides and much more.

This is an exclusive opportunity to sail around the world in a non-competitive rally, with the added reassurance of a professional support team and the camaraderie of fellow yachtsmen and women.

Planned on firsthand experience

After the success of the 2013–14 and 2017–19 events, future rallies are set to deliver more breathtaking experiences.

Planned around global weather patterns and Oyster’s knowledge and expertise, participants will have plenty of time to experience each stopover.

Oyster support and service

Oyster’s renowned levels of support and service are key to the Oyster World Rally. The support team works with participants from the moment they sign up, offering help and advice on everything.

The team travels ahead of the fleet and offers an extraordinary depth of technical expertise and local knowledge at each stopover.

Partnering for change

The Oyster World Rally provides a unique opportunity to make a positive impact, which is why Oyster partner with Sea Mercy, Sailors for the Sea and other organisations to do what they can to preserve the rally route and experiences along it for future generations.

Everyone who enters can take part in the programs to support local communities and help protect our oceans. Participant commitment will make a real difference.
