A top sailing spectacle at sea and an international navigational offshore regatta. The  jubilee 11th edition of this attractive two-day offshore regatta will be held from 18th to 19th September. The Race Around Krk has gained popularity in the sailing community, recognized as one of the most attractive sporting events in Kvarner and contributing to the promotion of tourism in this region.

This race provides a unique opportunity for sailing enthusiasts to try their hand at a challenging and attractive route, combining the challenge of night sailing, the beauty of the Kvarner archipelago and the sporting passion of sailors.

Route & Organization Details

This year’s regatta starts on Friday, September 18th, 2026, at 18:00 (6:00 PM) from Selce. Participants will navigate through the demanding conditions of the Kvarner waters along a 55-nautical-mile route around the island of Krk. The exact direction of the route (clockwise or counter-clockwise) will be determined just before the start, depending on the current weather conditions and wind.

Due to ongoing construction works in the port of Novi Vinodolski, the finish line has been moved to Mitan Marina in Novi Vinodolski, where all participants will gather on Saturday, September 19th. The official award ceremony is scheduled for Saturday at 19:00 (7:00 PM) at Mitan Marina, followed by a joint celebration and a closing banquet for the crews.

The regatta is jointly organized by the sailing clubs "Jadro" (Selce) and "Burin" (Novi Vinodolski). The event holds high competitive value as it counts towards the Croatian Littoral Cup (Kup Hrvatskog primorja) and represents a key stage of the Offshore North Adriatic Challenge.
