Arizona Yacht Club Birthday Regatta for Charity

Welcome to the 2026 Arizona Yacht Club Birthday Regatta for Charity!

We have a great birthday party for our 68th year planned for February 13-15th, 2026!

 If you are able, come join us on Friday for a special Race for Charity and some practice out on the water. The main racing is on Saturday and Sunday. Your registration fee includes a ticket to our Saturday evening party where we will enjoy a catered BBQ meal from Dillon’s and a raffle to benefit Blood Cancer United, Soldier’s Best Friend, and Cancer Support Community of Arizona!

Meal tickets are also available for our Friday night taco dinner, followed by relaxing by the fire. And you won’t want to miss the gourmet Saturday morning breakfast cooked by the amazing Chef Joe Motil! Grillables will be available for purchase Sunday afternoon at the awards presentation.

Regatta Headquarters will be on the Pleasant Harbor side of the lake (east side) at the Anchor Drop Building. Maps and more info are on the Racing and Spectators pages. Check out our Accommodations page for info on camping, the marina & nearby hotels and get ready for a weekend of sailing, food & fun!

Proud to be a Silver Certified Clean Regatta
