PREPARE TO GO FULL THROTTLE at the STUART SAILFISH REGATTA
Start your engines and get ready to make some waves in Stuart, Florida!
The Stuart Sailfish Regatta is setting up on the Intracoastal Waterway this weekend for one of the biggest boat races in Treasure Coast on May 15, 16, & 17th. Tens of thousands of excited spectators will be near the Stuart Causeway Bridge or launched on boats in a specific roped off area to watch the speedy races. Stuart is known for the excellent fishing and boating industries, so it is a great location to make some waves!
This exciting weekend of hydroplanes, race boats, powerboats and jersey skiffs are challenging each other for the grand prize money and of course, bragging rights! “There is going to be rooster tails, and roaring and all kinds of excitement!” Organizers are really excited for this weekend of speed involving the communities and sponsorship support to increase for the charities such as the U.S. Sailing Center, Maritime, Classic Boat Museum and the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast.
The rapid races will be held on a 1.1 mile oval race course which like every year is located on the northern side of the Causeway bridge and the town officials approved to close the bridge for more super fun activities such as live music, bikini contests, food and beverages and the best viewing spot at the peak of the bridge.
“The race is sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association. The regatta will be open to ten classes of inboards, four classes of outboards and new this year, the Powerboat P1 SuperStock Series. Some of the nation's top tier racers plus a power team of six or more Canadian Grand Prix race boats will bring even more fuel and adrenaline pumping action to the water.”

Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort and Marina is the official race resort and will be the main hub of activity in the days leading up to and during the race. The website lists all area accommodations, many of which will be offering special race promotions and packages.
