Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez 2026 returns for its 28th edition from September 26 to October 4, bringing 253 yachts to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez across classic, modern, and Maxi classes. Around 50 Maxis are expected this year, potentially setting a new record, while the J Class makes a major comeback with three yachts joining the fleet.
The 2026 edition also celebrates 150 years of the Gitana story, with the leading Maxi 1 competing for the Edmond de Rothschild Trophy, while the classics race for the Rolex Trophy throughout the week. More varied courses and additional geodynamic buoys are being introduced to sharpen the racing across a fleet spanning roughly 10 to 50 meters.
Beyond the regattas, the event keeps its signature rhythm onshore. The Village des Voiles remains open daily with exhibitor stands, live music, crew gatherings, and the traditional Saint-Tropez atmosphere that makes the week as much about the port as the racing itself.
