Boat Races (National sport)

Anguilla Boat Racing…

THE National Sport

When I say “Anguilla,” what comes to mind?

Stunning beaches? Endlessly sunny weather? Warm, genuine people? Mouthwatering restaurants?

What about boat racing?

Boat racing runs deep through Anguilla’s heritage. Taxi drivers, restaurant owners, hoteliers… chances are each person you meet in Anguilla is passionate about Anguilla boat racing.

Today, Anguilla’s sail boats are not used for commercial trade. They are now the main attraction at the island’s biggest holidays, including August Monday, Easter Monday and Anguilla Day
