Following two years of negotiations and planning ICONIC WORLD POWERBOAT and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda have agreed to jointly host their first major international powerboat regatta in March 2018.

The organisers intend to bring at least 150 boats to Antigua for a 10 day festival of powerboat racing.

“We are delighted to be able to announce this event to the world” said CEO Richard Teideman. “We have been planning it for a very long time and thanks to the courage and enthusiasm of the people of Antigua we expect it to be one of the most exciting new events on the motorsport calendar.”

With two major ports of operations, Jolly Beach and English Harbour, the regatta encompasses every possible type of boat. From jetskis and single seater Formula 2 boats to massive 200mph offshore boats there are opportunities for every class of racer to participate.

“We want to create something ready for the modern era. It is time to do something new. We want to build on Antigua’s enthusiasm and create a world class event to rival anything that Formula 1 can offer.” said Iconic World Powerboat’s Operations Director, Lt Commander Anthony Bennett (RN).
