Join us for a few days of inshore regattas off the breathtaking French coast of St. Tropez, followed by an offshore leg to the historic city of Genoa aboard the VO65 Sisi. Our shared adventure begins with two days of training in St Tropez. The regatta kicks off with four days of inshore racing featuring windward-leeward courses and coastal courses with a maximum length of 35 nautical miles in the Bay of Saint-Tropez. The offshore leg begins in Saint-Tropez, then heads to Île du Levant and the famous Rock of Giraglia, before continuing to the finish line in Genoa (approx. 241 nautical miles). What makes this race special is the combination of breath taking inshore races and a tactical offshore leg.

The crew consists of professional sailors from our team who have expertise in the VO65 and will provide instruction on the boat, as well as international professional sailors and some clients. The entire crew will be divided into shifts at the beginning, so sleeping and sailing on deck will be done in shifts. Life jackets with AIS transponders are available on board. We would like to reiterate that we are powerless against unforeseen circumstances. In the event of serious damage to the ship or weather forecasts that make it impossible for us to set sail (danger to people and ship), we cannot refund the costs of missed flights, transfers, or regattas. We recommend allowing at least one extra day for your return journey. Furthermore, we advise taking out travel cancellation insurance, as short-notice changes can occur during these uncertain times. The catering (organized by us), marina mooring fee and diesel (i.e. all onboard expenses) are already included in the ticket price. Alcohol is strictly prohibited on board. When entering or transiting through other countries, please note that you may need visas, ESTA, residence permits, medical certificates, etc. Please note: Changes and postponements may occur. Therefore, we ask you to wait to book accommodations, flights, etc., until you receive final confirmation from us, so that cancellations and postponements can be avoided. For further information, please contact us.
This is some true Pro/Am racing on a fast VO65 mixing it in with the elite Maxi fleet.

This is not a passenger trip. It’s a fully immersive offshore racing experience. You’ll join the crew of VO65 Sisi, a pure-bred ocean racing yacht originally built for the Volvo Ocean Race – one of the toughest sailing competitions on the planet. These 65-foot carbon race machines were designed to cross oceans at speed in extreme conditions, and there are only a handful of them in existence. Life on board is exactly what you would expect from a professional race yacht: functional, stripped-back and focused entirely on performance. There’s no luxury interior here, just pipe cots, navigation stations and a deck built for constant sail handling and teamwork. Every person on board becomes part of the crew. You’ll rotate through watch systems, trimming sails, grinding, navigating, and managing sail changes alongside an experienced professional team. The boat’s powerful sail plan and canting-keel design mean exhilarating speeds and demanding manoeuvres as the crew pushes hard through the Mediterranean Sea. Before the start, the team runs training days so everyone becomes familiar with the boat and systems. By the time the starting gun fires in St. Tropez, you’ll be fully integrated into the race crew and ready to take on the challenge. The result is a rare opportunity: to experience real inshore and offshore racing on one of the world’s fastest monohull race yachts, sailing through the days and night as part of a competitive race crew. Expect long watches, big sail changes, adrenaline-fuelled helming, and the kind of teamwork that only racing produces.
