A world-class and prestigious sailing event, the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta, is currently open for registration until November 29, 2025. The 37^th edition of the event is set to take place once again in the stunning waters off Kata Beach, from November 29-December 6.

Each year, the King’s Cup draws elite sailors from around the world, with last year’s event welcoming participants from over 20 countries.

This year’s programme features an opening ceremony, daily prize-giving celebrations, and a Royal Ceremony on the final day, continuing the tradition of sporting excellence and conducted with elegance that defines the King’s Cup. This year, Her Majesty Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana will also be joining the regatta aboard with Kevin Whitcraft’s team Vayu TH 72.

The King’s Cup 2025 is proudly supported by Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Kata Group, Centara Hotel & Resort, RMA Group, Haadthip, Garmin, Ricoh, National Telecom, and additional sponsors who are joining the effort to promote sailing regionally and strengthen Thailand’s sailing community.

Recognised as one of Asia’s most iconic international regattas, the event this year hosts a range of classes including keelboats, multihulls, optimists, and dinghies. Notably, disabled sailing will once again be featured, with races held in two-person S\V14 dinghies, reinforcing the Regatta’s commitment to inclusivity and sport for all.

“The Phuket King’s Cup Regatta keeps growing strong year after year, thanks to the incredible support from our partners and sponsors,” stated the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta Organising Committee six weeks ahead of the event.

“Their commitment allows us to push boundaries, welcome new talent, and make sailing more inclusive than ever. With Phuket as our spectacular backdrop, we’re ready to deliver an unforgettable experience for all international sailors involved.”

Founded in 1987 to honour the 60^th birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX, the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta has become a cornerstone of Thailand’s sporting calendar. Last year’s edition saw Kevin Whitcraft’s Team Vayu secure victory on the final day, with Her Majesty Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana crewing on board.

A historic moment was also captured when His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua, Rama X, personally helmed Vayu to the start line – a proud and unforgettable highlight for the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta.
