For the third year, Drydockers Regatta returns on April 25-26, bringing together top executives from the maritime industry.
For the third consecutive year, Drydockers is organizing the Drydockers Regatta, the two-day sailing event that has evolved into a unique gathering for the maritime community. Drydockers Regatta 2026 will take place on 25 – 26 April, bringing together professionals from across the shipping industry in a distinctive combination of sailing, networking, and shared maritime experience in the Saronic Gulf. Following the strong response to the previous two editions, Drydockers continues to invest in an initiative that brings maritime industry professionals together in a different, more informal environment, encouraging collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
Last year’s event brought together more than 180 participants, representing 35 shipping companies, who competed on 20 sailing yachts. Building on this growing momentum, the 2026 edition aims to deliver an even more complete experience, further strengthening both the competitive and the social dimensions of the event.
All yachts are provided by Drydockers and are operated by experienced skippers, ensuring safety and guidance for all crews. The fleet consists of modern high-performance monohull sailing yachts, combining comfort and performance, with the capacity to host up to 10 participants per boat, in addition to the skipper.Participation to the event is completely free of charge and open to professionals from across the maritime industry. No prior sailing experience is required, as the skippers guide each crew throughout the race. Participants can choose their level of involvement, either actively taking part in sailing the yacht or simply enjoying the experience of being at sea.
Beyond the sailing aspect, the Drydockers Regatta also serves as a dynamic networking platform for the maritime community. The event also maintains a strong social and environmental dimension. In cooperation with the Municipality of Aegina and with the support of HELMEPA, a beach clean-up initiative will take place on 26 April, highlighting the importance of protecting the marine environment. The 3rd Drydockers Regatta aims once again to offer a distinctive experience for the maritime community, combining sailing, networking, and maritime tradition in the unique setting of the Saronic Gulf.
