Oyster is delighted to announce that our next Oyster World Rally will begin on 9 January 2022 from our spiritual home in Nelson’s Dockyard, Antigua, offering a spectacular opportunity for Oyster owners to fulfill their dreams of sailing around the world.
Building on the success of our first and second world yacht rallies, we have refined and improved our flagship sailing event, offering the adventure of a lifetime.
To further enhance this event, we have created a more in-depth pre-rally training programme and preparation schedule than previous rallies. This will be run over 2020-21, and includes subjects such as sea survival, medical training, on-board systems, yacht preparation, ocean navigation and weather. Coupled with our refined route, we believe our branded world yacht rally offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is eminently manageable as you sail around the world with our full support and guidance.
The Oyster World Rally is a non-competitive world yacht rally that provides owners of Oyster yachts with a fantastic opportunity to sail around the world, with a pre-planned route and our dedicated Oyster support team on hand along the way.
Participants will sail to some of the world’s most stunning and breathtaking destinations with a group of like-minded sailing and travel enthusiasts. The route takes in some of the best sailing grounds, purposefully designed by Oyster’s team of experts to make the best of seasonal weather patterns during this world yacht rally.
The 2022 Oyster World Rally will see participants sail around the world to such spectacular destinations such as Tahiti, Vanuatu, Ascension Island, Antigua, the Galapagos Islands, Australia, Indonesia, as well as traversing through the Panama Canal.
While sailing around the world, participants will enjoy the added support of a professional support team, as well as the camaraderie of fellow yachtsmen, making this a rally that even novice sailors can participate in safely.
Our Oyster World Rally Team is dedicated to supporting participants throughout their journey, supporting with customs checks and day-to-day logistics, as well as organising some fabulous parties and social events along the way.
Our branded world yacht rally offers ample time at each destination, including time for free-cruising, servicing of boats, or even to fly home and see family.
Following our last round-the-world adventure, word has quickly gathered pace as to how special the Oyster World Rally is and competition for the available 30 places is expected to be tough. So, if a lap of the planet is on your mind, what do you need to do to start turning the dream into reality?
First, you need an Oyster. If you don’t already own one, we would be delighted to build you a new luxury sailing yacht in time for the Rally. Alternatively, our Brokerage team can help you find a superb pre-owned Oyster sailing yacht for sale.
RYA Yachtmaster Ocean qualification (YM theory minimum) is required for at least one member of your crew that is taking part in the full circumnavigation.
Finally, you will need to attend the pre-rally seminars and courses, so we can ensure you are fully prepared for your adventure of a lifetime.
With only 30 places available, contact us now to avoid disappointment. We will send you the Oyster World Rally event pack, which contains an application form, costs and other important information.
