Hamilton Island Race Week 2025

Join us for the 40th edition of HIRW
Crew on a competitive Beneteau First 40.7 in this iconic regatta.

Hamilton Island Race Week is one of the world’s most famous yachting events – and every year, it brings spectators and yachties from all around the globe to the Whitsundays for an exciting line up of on and offshore events. The event is the perfect combination of spectacular island racing and evening fun ashore. Set on Hamilton Island in the Whitsunday Islands, the race week spans 6 races around the island over 7 days, with a fun filled lay-day in the middle. With more than 200 yachts racing in sparking blue waters, filled with whales, turtles and dolphins, it’s is my favourite annual regatta. 

What you’ll love about Hamilton Island Race Week:

• The fantastic party atmosphere, which brings together competitors, family and friends from all over the world.
• Amazing scenery as you sail around the islands, whales, islands, beaches and torquoise water. 
• Presentation night dinner (extra cost), evening entertainment and more.
• With training schools with similar boats charging well over $4,000, this is a bargain and is sure to fill quickly.
