It’s not too late to turn your tiller toward San Francisco Bay and register for the 2026 Rolex Big Boat Series on September 16-20, and the sooner the better—registration fees for the 62nd Rolex Big Boat Series increase after July 31, 2026.

Sailors who come to test their skills in breeze-on conditions and challenging currents, against a field stacked with talent, will be rewarded for their efforts with top-notch socials and amenities ashore at St. Francis Yacht Club. For the winners, that includes their names engraved in perpetual trophies and, for select divisions, the chance to win a Rolex timepiece.

Be sure to register before July 31 to avoid late entry fees—then get ready to test your best on San Francisco Bay and celebrate your achievements shoreside at St. Francis Yacht Club.

Wet, wild, and full throttle 🌊 Racing on San Francisco Bay isn't a spectator sport, it's a full body experience. For many West Coast sailors, Rolex Big Boat Series is a right of passage - once you've done it, you're already counting down to next year.

Have you signed up to race this September 16-20?

So far, we have five classic yachts registered to participate in this year’s Rolex Big Boat Series. Among them are some well-known names such as Brigadoon, Hurrica V, and Ocean Queen.

While we're all excited to watch the modern fleets race, it's impossible not to stare as the Classics make their way around the course along the Cityfront.
