Caribbean Yacht Week guests enjoying the passage

Partnership Reference · April 30–May 7, 2027

One week. Seven islands. One brand at a time.

A reference for prospective partners, the market behind Caribbean Yacht Week, who sails with us, what a partnership delivers, and what each level means commercially.

01 · Why this market, now

120 days

Active partner exposure

Announcements, casting and countdown content before departure; live coverage across the week; recap, destination and post-event films long after the fleet docks.

~1.6M

Projected reach

Coordinated distribution across the event's channels, creator cohorts and destination partner networks, phased across the full 120-day window.

05 · Sponsorship opportunities

Five levels. Five different commercial jobs.

Each level buys something different: ownership, demand generation, precision access, a single unforgettable moment, or curated presence. What each one means commercially:

01

Founding Presenting Partner

The only company visibly embedded into the entire event. Suited to payments, financial services, global luxury, telecoms, or another major strategic brand.

  • ·Sole presenting rights: the event is named and branded with the partner across the fleet, every event, every asset, all seven islands
  • ·Category exclusivity for the week: no competing brand appears anywhere in the guest journey
  • ·Brand woven into every touchpoint, from embarkation in Saint Lucia to the closing dinner in Grenada
  • ·Founding status carries forward, first right of refusal on future editions
  • ·A seat at the table in shaping the experience itself, not just its decoration

CommerciallyCommercially, this is ownership of the platform rather than presence at it,  one brand carries the entire event, and everything the guests remember is co-signed.

02

Host Destination Partners

Tourism authorities and destination groups buying destination exposure, content, visitor expenditure and future demand generation, not conventional sponsorship.

  • ·Professionally produced destination photography and commercial-quality film, licensed for future campaigns
  • ·Dedicated destination features across the event's channels and itinerary
  • ·Travel advisor education and trade exposure around each host island
  • ·Direct visitor expenditure into local businesses - chefs, musicians, guides, markets
  • ·Post-event analytics and economic-impact reporting delivered to the authority

CommerciallyCommercially, this behaves like destination marketing infrastructure: the partner pays for content, reach and repeat visitation, and walks away with usable tourism assets and data, not just a logo at sea.

03

Official Category Partners

For brands reaching a concentrated, pre-qualified audience with zero competitive noise. Categories currently open:

  • COMMUNICATION
  • Payment Cards
  • Aviation
  • Automotive
  • SUNSCREEN
  • Yachting
  • Premium Beverages
  • ·Category exclusivity: one brand per category across the entire week
  • ·Logo placement across official marketing, the fleet and event signage
  • ·On-site presence at port events and hosted gatherings
  • ·Inclusion in guest gifting and in-cabin placement
  • ·Hospitality allocations for the partner's own clients and prospects

CommerciallyCommercially, this is precision rather than scale: the brand reaches a concentrated, pre-qualified audience with zero competitive noise, and converts its allocation into client relationships.

04

Signature Experience Partners

Own one individual high-value moment of the week. Moments currently open:

  • Sunset Sail
  • Private Island Day
  • Caribbean Table
  • Founders at Sea Dinner
  • White Party
  • Wellness Morning
  • Closing Dinner
  • ·Named ownership of a single marquee moment, e.g. 'The [Brand] Sunset Sail'
  • ·Hosted guest allocations within the chosen experience
  • ·Full content capture rights around the moment, for the partner's own channels
  • ·Targeted brand integration at one high-intensity touchpoint rather than broad presence

CommerciallyCommercially, this is the efficient entry point: one unforgettable, filmable moment with the partner's name on it, the strongest story-per-dollar of any level.

05

Curated Partners

Suitable for premium Caribbean and international brands that enhance the guest experience but do not need strategic ownership. Examples include fashion, jewellery, beauty, wellness, boutique hospitality, culinary brands, concierge services and premium local products.

  • ·Curated placement where it naturally fits the guest experience: gifting, in-cabin touches, wellness mornings, the table
  • ·On-island and on-deck activations at port events, selected to match the brand
  • ·Content co-creation with the event's creator cohort, product authentically in use
  • ·Introduced to guests by the crew and hosts, not sold to them: curation, not interruption

CommerciallyCommercially, this is brand texture rather than ownership: a lower-commitment entry that puts the product physically in guests' hands for a full week, with the credibility of being selected rather than bought.

Tier pricing, inventory and availability for 2027 are set annually and outlined in the full partnership deck. Categories are allocated on a first-committed basis.
