The Transatlantic Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup will kick off in Tenerife on November 26, 2207, and the finish line is of St Maarten about ten days later. This is sure to be a big event on the island, no doubt with music and parties planned.

The mega-yacths, with a minimum length of 59 feet, are expected to navigate 2,600 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean for approximately ten days before reaching the finish line off of St Maarten.
