After sixteen extraordinary months at sea, nineteen Oyster yachts have successfully completed their circumnavigation of the globe, returning to Antigua to mark the conclusion of the Oyster World Rally 2024-25.

Their sailing adventure around the world began back in January 2024 from Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua, where the fleet set sail for a once-in-a-lifetime experience – sailing 27,000nm, across three oceans and visiting more than 27 destinations.

“The Oyster World Rally creates a truly unique sense of community at sea. It’s been fantastic to witness firsthand the camaraderie and unforgettable moments this fleet has shared,” said Allie Smith, Oyster World Rally Director. “We are immensely proud of every yacht and crew having accomplished this life-changing journey”.

The Oyster World Rally is the only fully supported circumnavigation of the globe, and the 2024-25 Rally is the fourth round the world event we delivered. This latest edition brings the total number of Oyster yachts to have completed a circumnavigation to 138, a remarkable achievement in bluewater cruising. From the Caribbean to the Pacific, across the Indian Ocean and back via the Atlantic, participants experience the ultimate bluewater cruising lifestyle – backed by Oyster’s expert support every step of the way.

The next Oyster World Rally will depart from Antigua in January 2026 and the sixth edition has been announced for 2028. Limited places remain for the Oyster World Rally 2028-29, giving aspiring adventurers one last chance to secure their spot on this iconic circumnavigation.
