The Atlantic Cup will return in May 2024! The Atlantic Cup is an intense double-handed, offshore race held on the eastern seaboard of the United States every other spring in the even years. Traditionally the Atlantic Cup has started in Charleston, SC, stopped in NYC and continued on to Portland, Maine. 

Sustainable Sailing Since the Beginning

The Atlantic Cup is committed to being the most environmentally responsible sailing race in the United States. Since 2012, teams and race management have worked together with the past presenting sponsor, 11th Hour Racing, to create a fully carbon neutral event. In 2016, the Atlantic Cup was the very first sporting event in the United States to be ISO 20121 compliant and the only sailing regatta to be certified Platinum by Sailors for the Sea. We encourage you to explore our sustainability page to learn more about the unique steps the race, its teams and sustainability partner, 11th Hour Racing, are taking to make this a truly sustainable event.
