Sweethearts of the Caribbean & Classic Yacht Regatta (West End Yacht Club)
18° 23.2′ N · 64° 42.1′ W · approximate
A Valentine's weekend classic-yacht regatta hosted at Tortola's West End, in its 46th year in 2026, gathering traditional and classic boats for racing off Soper's Hole.
Practical
The BVI Tourist Board regatta calendar lists the 46th Annual Sweethearts of the Caribbean & 42nd Annual Classic Yacht Regatta on February 14, 2026, organised by the West End Yacht Club; Noonsite's events page places it at the West End Yacht Club. Position is the Soper's Hole marina reference (marinas.com), not the clubhouse itself, which was not mapped. The West End Yacht Club also runs the Dark and Stormy race (March 7 to 9, 2026), the Firecracker 500 (July 4, 2026) and the Gustav Wilmerding Memorial Challenge (December) per the same calendar. Expect Soper's Hole moorings to be busy that weekend.
