Beginning with CMC VIII set to begin last week of January 2026, multihull shipyards and charter organizers wanting to offer a unique rendezvous for their owner/charter community have the opportunity to do so at no cost by enrolling as a promotional partner in the CMC Rally Group Entry Program. This program allows its partners to offer two days of a proprietary semi-custom cruising experience with five days joining into the highly regarded CMC Northeastern Caribbean Annual Cruising Rally.
For 2-days, a brand’s clients will sail to a choice of amazing destinations in Anguilla, St. Maarten, or St. Martin; allowing skippers to sail with fellow brand owners before joining a larger, diverse group of multihull sailors participating in the 5-day CMC Rally Adventure visiting other destinations including magnificent St Barth’s.
This program — pioneered in 2023 with Philip Berman, CEO of the innovative Balance Catamaran company was repeated to great success in 2024. Now for 2026, the concept has been altered to create a 7-day event open to all. The CMC’s unique knowledge of the region allows multiple brands to have their own private event before joining the larger event. The first two days offer intimacy and camaraderie among a closed group of owners; and the final five days have owners join in with others in an exuberant celebration of multihulls offering music, foods, beach sports, high speed sailboat racing, a boardwalk party w Carnival Dancers, and a great Fireworks show.
The dates for the event are Monday 26 January to Sunday 1 February. Entry fees per vessel begin at $8.00/foot (through 30 November) and then it adjusts to $12.00/foot until the dat of the event, and are usually paid for by each owner. Organizers can choose to pay the entry fees if they wish – discount available for multiple entries.
