The Phuket O’pen Cup returns for its 5th edition on 14–15 November 2026, hosted at the Phuket Yacht Club and organized by Seahorse Sailing Phuket. This regatta has become a highlight of the island’s youth sailing calendar, bringing together young sailors, families, and enthusiasts for two days of competition and camaraderie on Chalong Bay’s turquoise waters.
A Growing Tradition
Since its first edition, the Phuket O’pen Cup has steadily grown in scale and reputation. The event showcases the O’pen Skiff class, a modern dinghy designed for youth sailors that emphasizes FUN, speed, and skill development. Over the past four years, the regatta has helped nurture Phuket’s next generation of sailors, many of whom now compete at national and international levels, some even moving into Phuket’s growing marine industry.
Seahorse Sailing Phuket, accredited by the International Sailing Schools Association (ISSA), has played a pivotal role in building this tradition. As the exclusive training provider for Phuket Yacht Club, Seahorse Sailing ensures that every participant benefits from world-class coaching and a safe, supportive environment.
Why It Matters
The Phuket O’pen Cup is more than just a regatta. It’s a celebration of youth sailing, teamwork, and community spirit. For many participants, it marks the first step into competitive sailing, while for others it’s a chance to refine their skills against peers. Parents and supporters enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, making the event a true family occasion.
By hosting the O’pen Cup, Seahorse Sailing Phuket continues its mission to grow sailing in Thailand, offering young athletes opportunities to learn, compete, and dream big. Events like this strengthen Phuket’s reputation as a hub for watersports and showcase the island’s commitment to nurturing future champions.
