Action-packed powerboat racing takes centre stage at Bartica Easter Regatta 2026

The official calendar for the Bartica Easter Regatta 2026 is set to be released, setting the stage for what organisers are promising will be one of the most thrilling editions of the annual event.
Chairman of the Bartica Regatta Committee, Mr Holbert Knights, said anticipation is already building, particularly around the marquee powerboat races.
“This year’s powerboat event will be one of a kind, and it will be really exciting,” Knights stated.
The regatta calendar features a packed line-up of sporting activities designed to attract both residents and visitors to the river town during the Easter weekend festivities.
Among the events scheduled is a football tournament, which will kick off on March 27, alongside a domino competition running from March 27 to March 28. These activities are expected to set the tone for the week-long celebrations leading into the Easter weekend.
The highlight of the regatta, powerboat racing, will take place on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, with several new boats expected to make their debut on the water. Organisers say fans can expect fast-paced action and intense competition throughout the day.
On Easter Monday, attention will shift to land-based excitement, with the grass track racing event scheduled to be held at Mora Camp, a staple attraction that traditionally draws large crowds.
Providing further insight into the scale of the powerboat races, Regional Vice Chairman and Sports Coordinator Alan Maslow revealed that the regatta will feature an impressive slate of races.
“Regatta powerboat racing will feature 20 events. We have 20 events planned, including three Formula One races. We have already confirmed Team Bell and confirmed Dave Scott, and we are in talks with Neil Gonzales and his team,” Maslow said.
He emphasised the importance of early arrival for spectators eager to catch the high-speed Formula One action. “It’s imperative that fans arrive early at the Regatta to witness the Formula One Regatta boat races,” he added.
With a full calendar of sporting events and top competitors already confirmed, the Bartica Easter Regatta 2026 is shaping up to be a major attraction.
