The ARC is the original transocean rally for cruising yachts. Around 150 boats set sail every year in November, sailing from Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria to Rodney Bay on Saint Lucia.
The rally attracts people of all ages and nationalities, sailing monohulls, multihulls and even motor boats from 27 feet to 100 feet (8.23m-32m). Over 8,000 boats have sailed with us to the Caribbean since the first ARC in 1986.
The 2,700NM Atlantic crossing takes around 18-21 days for the average yacht. The record is 8 days and six hours, set by the maxi Rambler 88 (USA) in 2016.
Like the ARC, ARC+ crosses the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to the Caribbean, but there's just a little bit more, hence the Plus! From Gran Canaria, the rally heads south to Mindelo on São Vicente in Cape Verde. After four to six days ashore exploring the islands, the fleet departs, bound for Port Louis Marina on the spice island of Grenada.
There's always a varied fleet, but the rally is especially popular with families. Because of the smaller marina in Mindelo, the fleet is usually capped at just under 100 boats ranging from 27 feet to 65 feet (8.23m to 19.81m).
Las Palmas to Mindelo is 850NM or 5-7 days at sea, and Mindelo to Grenada is 2150NM or 12-16 days at sea.
Starting on Sunday 11 January 2026, this thrilling 2,995-nautical mile challenge will once again set sail from Calero Marinas Marina Lanzarote in the Canary Islands before charting a new course west to a spectacular finish in Antigua, West Indies. This exciting new destination ushers in a vibrant chapter in the race’s evolution, reinforcing its place as one of the great modern ocean classics and offering better logistics for race teams continuing on to Antigua for the RORC Caribbean 600.
A marriage of luxury and gastronomy, the 17th annual Cayman Cookout returns with world-class culinary and beverage experts for five days of epicurean indulgence.
