Oyster Yachts has announced the Oyster World Rally 2030–31, the seventh edition of its fully supported 16-month circumnavigation and the only global rally exclusively for Oyster owners. With four successful editions completed and the current 2026–27 fleet already underway—joined by Owner and Chairman Richard Hadida with his family—the Rally has become a defining life experience rather than simply a sailing event.
Limited to 30 yachts, the 2030–31 Rally departs Antigua in January 2030, covering 27,000 nautical miles across three oceans. Carefully timed with global weather systems, the route spans the Galápagos, Costa Rica, French Polynesia, Australia’s east coast, the Indian Ocean, South Africa and Brazil, before returning to the Caribbean.
Non-competitive by design, the Rally allows owners to travel independently, explore remote destinations, or reconnect with the fleet, combining personal freedom with comprehensive professional support. Led by Allie Smith, Director of Oyster Rallies and Training, preparation begins 18 months in advance, with extensive training and ongoing technical, logistical and concierge support throughout the voyage, including a twice-daily Safety Net on ocean crossings.
With entries open from March 3, 2026, and previous editions reaching capacity, strong demand is expected for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
