Thousands of people, visitors and locals alike, have come together for one of St. Maarten’s premier events- the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta, which kicked off this week. With world-class sailboat racing, amazing parties, and lots of live music, there is plenty of fun to be had at the Caribbean’s largest sailing event.
For three days, some of the greatest sailing teams will complete for victory. Each night, musical artists from various genres will be rocking parties after the races. After the party, the night’s not over with afterparties lasting late into the night at Bliss Nightclub & Lounge. If you’re on the islands, be sure to check out all the excitement. If you’re missing out this year, book a villa for you and your friends for next year’s St. Maarten Heineken Regatta.
