Skippers - we are pleased to declare Race Registration open for the inaugural 2026 Darwin to Banda Neira Yacht Race &amp; Rally. 

A 510nm international north-bound sailing classic starting in Darwin Australia and finishing in beautiful Banda Neira in Indonesia. This replaces the long tradition of the Spice Islands Darwin to Ambon race. Many skippers would call in to Banda Neira returning from the Ambon race. All formal arrangements have been completed with our Indonesian counterparts and we have full race support from The Ministry of Tourism - Republic of Indonesia (Jakarta), the Maluku Provincial Government and the ASC and together we look forward to hosting a race to remember.

Registration closes 01 May 2026. Late entries may be accepted until 30 June (late fee applies).
All types of sailors and sailing boats are welcome. The south-east trade winds dominate the weather and can provide wonderful reaching conditions through the tropical waters. The fastest yachts take just over two days whilst the more relaxed sailors can take up to five days.

There are organised activities once arriving in Banda Neira, including the Presentation Night on Sat 08 Aug.
