Ammonite is a brand new yacht, launched in March 2016. The 24 metre sailing superyacht was designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Southern Wind. She's the first of the yard's yachts to feature a lifting keel.

Ammonite will cruise from Cape Town to Sardinia before heading to the Caribbean to race in the Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous 2017.

Having been launched in 2012 by Nautor's Swan, Freya has entered several regattas and will be one to watch at the Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta & Rendezvous.

Freya was the 2000th Swan to be built. Designed by Frers Yacht Design, she caters to both cruising and racing needs. At 27.6 metres, _Freya’_s external layout allows for easy handling with minimal crew.

Ganesha is a regular competitor of the Loro Piana regattas and has also had the honour of winning best sailing yacht over 40 metres at the 2014 World Superyacht Awards.

The 46 metre Vitters sailing yacht Ganesha was launched in 2013 and has an impressive 62 metre Southern Spars carbon mast. The luxury exterior design is the work of Dubois, and the interior by Newcruise, with the purpose of creating an elegant atmosphere.

Built by Finish shipyard Nautor’s Swan, this impressive yacht is more than capable of confronting the burden of regatta racing. The luxury design is the work of German Frers, giving a sophisticated look to the exterior.

Launched in 2016, this yacht will be one to watch in the Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta & Rendezvous.

This 30 metre racing sailing yacht is a combination of both style and performance. Constructed by McConaghy Boats she has been provided with a platform for exceptional speed whilst maintaining her luxurious appeal.

Designed by Farr Yacht Design, Leopard 3 has an exceptional racing reputation and we are sure to see her in action at the Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta & Rendezvous.

The 38.15 metre Perini Navi, P2 will return to the British Virgin Islands for the 2017 Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous to re-claim her title after winning in 2015 and claiming The Loro Piana Prize: The Boat International Media Trophy.

The 2008 sailing yacht, designed by Philippe Briand, has a maximum speed of 13 knots.

The magnificent 51.8 metre sailing yacht Q (ex Mondango II) was designed by Reymond Langton, who alongside the devoted owners, created a modern yacht that can accommodate up to 10 guests in luxury. It is one of the top 50 largest sailing yachts in the world.

Launched in 2008 by Alloy Yachts, this multiple award-winning yacht has a maximum speed of 15 knots.

At 106.6ft, the sailing yacht Sunleigh was built by Jongert in Netherlands and was delivered to her owner in 2002 after a refit in 2007. Tony Castro is to thank for the both the sophisticated exterior design and the engineering. Previously named Red Sula, her luxurious interior was designed by Peter Sijm. Sunleigh is said to be the most exciting yacht ever built by the Dutch shipyard, so we are excited to welcome her as a newcomer to the Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous.

Sailing at 23.2 metres LOA, this W-Class yacht was designed by the late Joel White and built by W-Class™Racing Yachts. The wood used to form the hull is cold-molded and specially chosen to maximise both strength and lightness.

Wild Horses has competed in more than 160 races in the Caribbean, in the Mediterranean, and along the U.S. East Coast, including the 2013 Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous. Fast and light, with a low centre of gravity, Wild Horses is sure to be a serious contender.
