King’s Cup Regatta

The King’s Cup Regatta in Phuket is Asia’s largest and most popular regatta. Inaugurated in 1987 to celebrate the 60th birthday of His Majesty King Rama IX of Thailand, the event has been held every year since (except during the Covid 19 years) during the first week of December.

Kata Rocks has proudly sponsored yachts participating in the King’s Cup Regatta for many years. Teaming up with Phuket’s sailing legend Peter Dyer, Kata Rocks sponsored up to 3 yachts across different racing classes with an international crew. Take a look at the photo gallery below for some King’s Cup impressions from previous editions.

The oceanfront residential resort of Kata Rocks is perched on a small cape between Kata and Kata Noi beaches. From the resort’s ocean view terrace or from the privacy of your Sky Pool Villa, you can see the glimmering Andaman Sea and the yachts moored off the pretty island of Koh Pu. The location makes a perfect resting spot for sailors, yacht owners and spectators to enjoy taking in the Kings Cup Regatta experience.
