The Antwerp Race is one of the great sailing classics on the Scheldt and is an impressive spectacle on the water every year. More than a hundred sailing yachts, manned by hundreds of sailors, take part in the race towards Antwerp. The combination of competitive sailing, the busy Scheldt, and the arrival in the city makes this race special to experience up close.

Along the Scheldt, you can see the fleet approaching and enjoy the hustle and bustle on the water. On both the Right and Left Bank, spectators gather to watch the sail yachts, escort boats, and rescue vessels pass by.

Experience the Antwerp Race during your stay.
