After an extraordinary 15-month circumnavigation spanning more than 26,000 nautical miles, the fleet’s arrival in Grenada marks a defining milestone in one of the world’s most iconic cruising rallies
Having crossed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, transited the Panama Canal, and explored some of the most remote and beautiful regions on earth, each yacht arrives with a remarkable story to tell.
Unlike competitive racing events, the World ARC is a rally that brings together sailors from all walks of life—families, couples, and seasoned adventurers—united by a shared ambition to experience a full circumnavigation. For many, completing the journey is a life-changing achievement, making their arrival in Grenada an emotional and deeply rewarding moment.

Crews were greeted with a lively programme of social events, celebrations, and opportunities to reconnect after months at sea. The sense of camaraderie among participants is one of the defining features of the rally, with friendships forged across oceans and strengthened at each landfall.
The arrival of the World ARC fleet also reinforces Grenada’s position as one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after yachting destinations. With its sheltered waters, world-class marina facilities, and reputation for safety and hospitality, the island continues to attract discerning sailors from around the globe.
For Port Louis Marina, the rally represents more than a moment of celebration—it is an opportunity to showcase the very best of the destination. The influx of international yachts and visitors brings a dynamic energy to the marina, supporting local businesses and further enhancing Grenada’s standing on the global yachting stage.
