Oyster Yachts has opened entries for the Oyster World Rally 2030-31 – a fully-supported circumnavigation for Oyster owners and their families and friends.
Following four highly successful editions, and as the 2026 fleet settles into the early chapters of its own global voyage, Oyster once again invites a new generation of owners to join sailing’s most profound journey.
Open only to Oyster owners and limited to just 30 yachts, the 2030–31 Rally will begin in Antigua in January 2030, covering 27,000 nautical miles and crossing three oceans. The Rally route has been meticulously planned to align with favourable global weather systems, ensuring owners experience each destination at its very best.
From the wildlife-rich waters of the Galápagos Islands to the lagoons of French Polynesia, the vastness of the Pacific, Australia’s east coast, the Indian Ocean islands, South Africa, Brazil and a triumphant return to the Caribbean, the Oyster World Rally is a modern-day voyage of exploration.
Carefully structured yet inherently flexible, it is designed to offer both the reassurance of professional support and the freedom for owners to shape their own adventure.
