AMEL Yachts, a renowned builder of high-end bluewater sailboats, is thrilled to announce the upcoming AMEL Cup Tropics event, set to take place from March 17 to 20, 2024, in the Antilles.

Following the success of previous editions in the Mediterranean, this new adventure promises AMEL owners an unforgettable experience setting sail from the marina in Le Marin, the largest marina in Martinique.

A diverse program of activities

The festivities kick off on Sunday, the 17th, at the dedicated event pontoon in the marina, with crew welcome running until 5:00 PM. A briefing will follow at 6:15 PM, along with the distribution of Marine Pool packages, a partner of the shipyard. The evening will carry on with a welcoming cocktail reception in a cozy setting by the harbor.

Competition kicks off on Monday with a tour around Diamond Rock, promising thrilling moments and spectacular sights.

Tuesday is dedicated to culture and culinary delights, featuring a visit to a local distillery and rum tasting. Participants will continue this convivial moment with a beachside lunch, followed by leisurely exploration of the region for the remainder of the day.

On the last day, the competition will kick back into gear with the final two racing rounds launching from the marina. Wrapping up the day will be a dinner and prize-giving ceremony, rewarding the best performances and marking the grand finale of this AMEL Cup.

Experience the AMEL spirit in the heart of the Caribbean for 4 days with the AMEL Cup Tropics!

There are still a few places available for AMEL 50, 60, 55 and 64 owners wishing to take part in the event.
