Ibiza, 16 July 2026 – The fleet is taking shape for the sixth edition of the Ibiza JoySail Superyacht Regatta, which will bring twenty superyachts to the waters off Ibiza and Formentera from 17 to 20 September 2026.
Based at Marina Ibiza, Ibiza JoySail has become one of the leading superyacht regattas in the Mediterranean. This year’s edition will once again bring together an exceptional fleet of sailing yachts from some of the world’s most prestigious shipyards.
Twenty superyachts to race in Ibiza and Formentera
The 2026 Ibiza JoySail fleet will feature a mix of returning competitors and new entries, reflecting the growing appeal of the event among owners, crews and shipyards.
Returning yachts include Aurelius, Cervo, Gelliceaux, Karibu, Liberty Squared, Moat, Morgana and Nostromo, all of which are already familiar names at Ibiza JoySail.
They will be joined by a strong group of newcomers: Bella, Fortissimo, Atalante, Inoui, Kalantis, Kiboko III, Mari Cha III, Ocho, Point Counter Point, Rose, Starfall and Win Win.
A diverse superyacht racing fleet
Ranging from 80 to 147 feet, the Ibiza JoySail 2026 fleet represents a wide variety of sailing yachts and design philosophies. Southern Wind leads the line-up with seven yachts, followed by Nautor Swan with five.
The fleet also includes yachts built by Vitters, Baltic Yachts, Pendennis Shipyard, Oyster, Wally, Y Yachts, J.O.M. Holland and Sensation Yachts.
“The fleet is a reflection of Ibiza JoySail’s evolution over the past six years. Every edition brings together an eclectic mix of yachts, from cutting-edge racing projects to cruising yachts that compete in their original configuration. Striking that balance has become one of Ibiza JoySail’s defining characteristics,” says Nacho Postigo, Director of Ibiza JoySail.
Corinthian Spirit and the Perpetual Trophy
The Corinthian Spirit remains central to Ibiza JoySail, allowing owners and crews to compete while keeping their yachts in standard cruising trim.
In the lead-up to the regatta, competitors will also have the opportunity to take part in the Perpetual Trophy. Between 15 August and 16 September, yachts will attempt to complete the crossing between Mallorca and Ibiza in the fastest possible time, a challenge that has become one of the standout features of the event.
With the fleet now confirmed, anticipation is building for Ibiza JoySail 2026. From 17 to 20 September, the waters off Ibiza and Formentera will once again host one of the Mediterranean’s premier superyacht regattas.
