Arabella Has Made this Trip Many Times

Arabella is a strong and robust yacht which will help open up the Newport to Bermuda Race to many people who might otherwise not participate. She has already made the trip to and from Bermuda many times, just never in a race. Before COVID, Arabella would winter in the Caribbean. During her trips to and from the Caribbean, Arabella often stopped by Bermuda.

Her most recent passage from New York to Bermuda was in November 2019. She sailed to Bermuda to serve as the Manhattan Yacht Club’s floating clubhouse during the Bacardi Cup. Arabella docked at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and also hosted a cocktail party for members of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club. It was during this visit that the idea of entering Arabella in the Newport Bermuda Race was first suggested.

Arabella is also a US-flagged vessel and USCG certified to carry passengers on an international route. Arabella is maintained to the standards of a USCG-certified passenger vessel. She also has an ABS load line. Arabella completed her most recent USCG & ABS drydock inspections in November 2023.
