Where Sailing Meets Prestige
The Marmaris International Race Week, one of Türkiye's most established yacht racing events, will be held for the 37th time in 2026. Over nearly four decades, the organization has become a symbol of Marmaris' deep-rooted maritime tradition and competitive sailing excellence.
Recognized as a key event in the international sailing calendar, Race Week represents Marmaris' global brand value in sea sports. With its long-standing history and professional standards, the event carries the city's strong nautical culture and race-hosting capacity onto the world stage.
Featuring multiple racing categories, inshore (bay) and offshore courses, a high level of competition and strong sporting quality, the organization positions Marmaris as one of the prominent stops in global sailing. The unique geography of Marmaris — combining protected bays, open sea routes and favorable wind conditions — offers ideal race courses that attract experienced sailors and professional teams from around the world.
With the participation of high-profile athletes, yacht crews and international teams, the event generates significant economic impact. It directly supports marinas, accommodation facilities, restaurants and service sectors, while contributing to the extension of the tourism season in late October.
Marmaris International Race Week is more than a sporting competition; it is a strategic and prestigious platform that reinforces Marmaris' identity as a leading maritime and sailing destination, strengthening the city's international visibility and reputation in sea sports.
