Welcome to the XIX Regata Internacional, the 2011 Banderas Bay Regatta held in Vallarta, Mexico. Now in its 19th year, this 5 day event March 8-12, 2011 is specially designed with Cruisers in mind - fun but competitive races between boats designed for coastal and offshore cruising. Race boats and catamarans join the fun too in this non-profit event. With nightly fiestas, live music and entertainment; this is the signature event of the Vallarta Yacht Club.

Our Yacht Club is Regatta headquarters, located next to the world class Paradise Village Marina in tropical Riviera Nayarit.  The VYC has become renowned  for hosting premier international sailing events ranging from the San Diego YC's Vallarta Race to the J24 World Championship. The Marina is part of the Paradise Village Beach Resort and Spa complex, where amenities provide a luxury stopover for slip-holders and visiting family.

Bahía de Banderas is the premier sailing venue on the Pacific coast of Mexico, one of the largest natural bays in Mexico with recorded depths of over 3,000 feet. The blue waters are home to whales, manta rays, sea turtles, dolphins and deep-water fish. Steady afternoon winds consistently range from 12-18 knots, making it a perfect sailing venue. The race course begins only 2 miles from the channel entrance to Paradise Village Marina in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit.
