2025 Classic Regatta

October 11, 2025

If you are only going to attend one regatta this year, this is it.  Join us for a great weekend of sailing fun and camaraderie that raises money for “Meals on Wheels”!

This regatta is especially designed to showcase older classic boats – by rule, boats must be at least 20 years old to compete;  entry is restricted to boats built before 2006.  While sail boat racing is always spirited, this event is known more for its fun, camaraderie and generosity.  More than just a sailing event, the St. Petersburg Classic Regatta is a fundraiser for Meals on Wheels, an admirable cause that provides nutritious, hot meals to low income elderly folks who would otherwise go without.  

Known for excellent organization, this weekend-long event places emphasis on fun and charity.  A classic boat rendezvous that attracts boats and sailors from the entire west coast of Florida; it has become one of the premier regattas in Tampa Bay.  The regatta is based out of the St. Petersburg Yacht Club (SPYC) located on the beautiful waterfront of downtown St. Petersburg.  SPYC provides free dockage and is the host for exceptional dock parties and an excellent dinner and awards banquet.
