The story

Rendezvous Beach Festival Boat Race in Rendezvous Bay

A July B Class boat race and beach festival weekend at Rendezvous Bay, blending competitive sailing with reggae music and island entertainment under branding that has also included the name Sea, Sound and Sail Festival. giving visitors a lower-key, music-forward alternative to the island's bigger Carnival-season races at Sandy Ground.

The Rendezvous Beach Festival boat race brings B Class competition to Rendezvous Bay, one of Anguilla's most scenic stretches of coastline and a stark contrast to the more frequently raced waters of Sandy Ground and Meads Bay.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

That combination gives it a genuinely different feel from the island's more intensely competitive Carnival-season fixtures
