Friday 13 – Sunday 15 February 2026

Sails hoisted, crews ready, and the summer sea breeze set to deliver another unforgettable weekend – the Pittwater Regatta 2026 is fast approaching. As one of Australia’s most iconic annual sailing festivals, this three-day celebration brings together competitive sailors, cruisers, friends, families, and the beautiful energy of Pittwater at its best.

Sydney Marine Brokerage is proud to be back as a key event partner, continuing our valued collaboration with RPAYC to support the NSW ORC Championship. But this year, one feature shines especially bright for us:

The Grand Soleil Cup – The Highlight for Sydney Marine Brokerage

Among the many divisions and racing formats across the Pittwater Regatta, the Grand Soleil Cup stands out as a signature moment – a vibrant two-day celebration of the Grand Soleil community, beautifully aligned with the craftsmanship, performance, and passion these yachts represent.

Hosted as part of the Pittwater Cup Series, the Grand Soleil Cup offers owners and crews the perfect blend of spirited racing, camaraderie, and the Mediterranean-inspired elegance the brand is known for. Expect competitive fleet action, stunning spinnakers, post-race socials, and a showcase of performance cruising at its finest.

For us at Sydney Marine Brokerage, supporting this event is one of the highlights of our year — a chance to connect with yacht owners, celebrate the Grand Soleil family, and cheer on these exceptional vessels across one of the country’s most picturesque racing courses.
