5th Annual Catamaran Guru Rendezvous & Regatta
Abacos, Bahamas - May 5th through 8th, 2025
Catamaran Guru will host the fifth annual Catamaran Owners Rendezvous in The Abacos, Bahamas from May 5-8, 2025. This annual event is open to all brands of catamarans. In 2023, we had a variety of different brands of catamarans like Lagoon, Bali, Leopard, Catana, Outremer, Fountaine Pajot Lightwave, Voyage and others, totaling 27 catamarans. It was a nice cross section of brands and owners who no doubt enjoy meeting each other and touring each others boats, catching some tips and ideas from each other.
About the rendezvous & regatta
The Rendezvous hosts many events on the water and on shore including:
Opening welcome party- Two point-to-point “fun-run / racing” events which encourages all the owners to put their boats through their paces and talk a little salty competitive smack
- Our very popular Rumbrella Races which combines rum-infused libations and umbrella-powered sailing of floats and boards
- Tons of beach games and fun competitive challenges designed for laughs
- “Cheeseburgers in paradise” served on the beach
- A dinghy parade with prizes for best dressed
- A fundraiser for a local junior sailing program
In addition to the fun, we offer educational events such as spinnaker training, safety at sea presentations, and first aid seminars. During all the knowledge sharing events we encourage all attendees to contribute and share experiences that would be useful for others.
As a pre-Rendezvous activity to give catamaran owners the security of a group crossing of the Gulf Stream and of first-time navigation in the Bahamas, we arrange a flotilla from Fort Lauderdale to The Abacos (a distance of 290 NM) This group sets sail around the last week of April, weather permitting.
