Regatta Sponsorship Opportunities

The Coconut Grove Sailing Club proudly hosts two flagship youth regattas each year:
The Howler Regatta and Miami Sailing Week.
 

The Coconut Grove Sailing Club has an 80-year legacy dedicated to promoting youth sailing, sportsmanship, and lifelong engagement on the water.

Each regatta attracts 285+ sailors from across Florida, the East Coast, and the Caribbean along with their families and coaches. These multi-day events bring hundreds of visiting families to Coconut Grove, providing meaningful visibility for partner businesses.

Sponsoring a CGSC youth regatta connects your brand with families, education, and innovation. Live race tracking and real-time viewing create modern, high-visibility branding opportunities both on-site and online.
