Get ready, Koh Samui — the sails are going up, the sun will be shining, and the parties will be legendary.
The 22nd Annual Samui Regatta is back from May 24 to May 31, 2025, and it’s bringing a full week of competitive racing, beachfront celebrations, and pure island magic. Whether you're a sailing fanatic, a sunset chaser, or just someone who loves a good party, this is one event you don’t want to miss.
22 Years of World-Class Sailing (And Good Times)
Since its launch in 2002, the Samui Regatta has exploded from a local sailing meet-up into one of Asia’s biggest and most beloved regattas. Today, it draws elite yachts, serious racers, and sun-seeking visitors from all over the world — and every year, it only gets bigger and better.
Expect epic battles on the water, adrenaline-packed finishes, and a festival atmosphere on land that captures everything we love about island life.
Racing That’ll Keep You on the Edge of Your Deck Chair
Over the week, top crews from across Asia and beyond will be battling it out in a series of inshore and offshore races. You’ll see everything from sleek racing yachts to speedy multihulls cutting through Koh Samui’s sparkling blue waters.
Spectators can catch the action from the beaches, from clifftop viewpoints, or even hop on a spectator boat and get closer to the action. Trust us — the sight of dozens of colorful sails against Samui’s horizon is something you won’t forget.
Off the Water? The Real Party Starts
The Samui Regatta isn’t just about racing — it’s about living it up island-style.
After the sails come down, the beach parties, gala dinners, and late-night celebrations kick off.
Think toes in the sand, a drink in hand, and music carrying you into the night. Koh Samui’s unbeatable nightlife, world-class food scene, and laid-back beach culture set the perfect vibe for unforgettable evenings with sailors, visitors, and locals alike.
More Than Just a Regatta
While you’re here, why not explore the rest of Koh Samui?
Wander through Fisherman’s Village, get lost in the jungle trails, sip a coconut by a hidden beach, or treat yourself to a lazy afternoon at a luxury spa.
Samui isn’t just a place to watch the action — it’s a place to live it.
