The Ocean Race 2027 Coming to St. Pete May 4-16, 2027 On May 4-16, 2027, it will be all hands on deck at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club in downtown St. Pete.

This is the first time in the legendary event’s 54-year history that the Sunshine State’s Gulf Coast will serve as a race departure port, and the leg will connect two of the world’s most celebrated sailing destinations across 4,500 nautical miles of open Atlantic Ocean. The exciting Ocean Live Park race village welcomes visitors from around the globe and will be based at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. The International Monohull Open Class Association (60-foot foiling sailboats) will be berthed at the waterfront by the University of South Florida St. Petersburg during the stopover. 32,000 Nautical Miles, 1 Stop in North America theoceanrace.com VISITSPC.COM 55
