24th Wilhelmshaven Sailing CUP

The 24th Wilhelmshaven Sailing CUP will take place around the Great Harbor from October 2 to 4, 2026. The Wilhelmshaven Sailing CUP is the oldest traditional sailing regatta on the German North Sea coast. The highlight of the event is the regatta of traditional sailing ships on Saturday, when the vessels set sail with their crew members to compete in an exciting contest. A day earlier, students, trainees, and young people will set sail during the "Boarding Next Generation" event. The youth regatta is a unique inclusion event in Germany. In addition to the traditional sailing regattas, there will be a diverse supporting program featuring live music, a parade of ships, harbor tours, and a quay market. On Sunday, the crews and captains of the traditional sailing ships will also invite visitors to free ship tours. More information can be found at www.wilhelmshaven-sailing-cup.de.
