More than half the fleet entered at the Golden Rock Regatta consist of socalled "Bareboats" which are yachts chartered by private individuals or groups from recognized charter fleets. A number of these boats are available for Charter in the regatta through our regatta charter agent Windward Adventures.

  • The Golden Rock grows up!

    The Golden Rock grows up! Last November 2011 the 7th annual Golden Rock Regatta took place between the islands of St. Maarten, St. Barths and St. Eustatius.
    During a small ceremony in the “Bottoms Up” restaurant, foundation chairman Juul Hermsen was handed the official CSA flag by Petra Gilders, club manager of the St. Maarten Yacht Club. She was welcoming the Golden Rock Regatta as a new member of the Caribbean Sailing Association.
    The event took place in ideal sailing weather and the competition was tight as can be seen by the protests (three!) handed to the race committee! A first time in 7 years showing that the event is growing-up.

    Sailing Magazine to cover the GRR 2012

    We are happy to announce that the well known yachting photographer, Bob Grieser, has been invited to cover next year's Golden Rock Regatta. He will be joined by Betsy Crowfoot, contributing editor of Sailing Magazine  and together they will produce a 6 - 8 page spread of the regatta. Due to unforseen circumstances Bob will not be able to join us this year however he has assured us to be at the start in 2012!

     

    Both Bob and Betsy are well known faces on St. Maarten and Bob has been photographing the Heineken Regatta for about 20 years now. They are putting together a sailing team and will take part in the regatta giving them a personal slant on our event. We hope they enjoy the week with us and look forward to their article.
