Six years sailing together: Ibiza JoySail 2026, a truly unforgettable edition

30 September 2026 - Ibiza, Spain - The sixth edition of the Ibiza JoySail Superyacht Regatta has come to an end, having further cemented its status as a key event on the international superyacht calendar. This edition featured an exceptional fleet of nineteen superyachts, five categories, and three high-octane days of racing off the coast of Ibiza and Formentera.

STP Shipyard Palma and Marina Ibiza helped bring the regatta to life, alongside a trusted community of partners and collaborators.

Four days that started with a storm and finished with celebrations of everything that makes Ibiza JoySail so special: top-flight sailing, magnificent superyachts, the stunning backdrop of Ibiza and Formentera, and a community that comes together on the water year after year.

The grand finale of this sixth edition came with the eagerly awaited prize-giving ceremony at Marina Ibiza, where owners and crews gathered to celebrate the end of Ibiza JoySail 2026 together.

With the majestic Ibiza Town as the backdrop, the five winners of this year's regatta were announced at the ceremony: Moat, in Performance; Win Win, in Performance Cruising 1; Cervo, in Performance Cruising 2; Point Counter Point, in Performance Cruising 3; and Nostromo, in World Cruising.
