Enjoy the thrill of the open sea!
The LCL North Sea Regatta is an exclusive annual business event that brings together partners, customers and industry leaders for a unique day at sea.
Combining sailing, networking and shared experiences, the regatta offers a distinctive setting to connect, exchange ideas and build meaningful relationships away from the traditional meeting room.
Held in Nieuwpoort, the event features a morning sailing initiation, an afternoon regatta competition, a parallel e-bike activity and a warm closing reception where all crews gather to celebrate the day.
The 10th edition of the LCL North Sea Regatta will take place on 10 June 2027.

Location & Directions
Attire guidelines
Make sure you wear sporting shoes that you don’t mind to get wet. Preferably they are mud-, soil- and sandfree, without black soles or soles that may leave tracks. Slippers and walking shoes should be avoided!
Casual clothes (being comfortable is most important), for example a jumper (it can be a bit chilly at sea)
Bring a raincoat in case of bad weather.
We will provide everyone with sun cream and a cap with ribbon at the registration booth.
