The Stuart Sailfish Regatta has added floating docks for boaters to use this year. The docks are located on the west side of the racecourse and provide an excellent view of the powerboat racing. A $20 donation per vessel is requested for the use of the docks.
“The floating docks are another environmental safeguard we are able to provide,” stated Lindsay Nickerson, Regatta event coordinator. Boaters can tie up to the docks rather than anchor in the lagoon.”
Witham Airfield on Monterey Road is open for free parking and a free shuttle ride to the event. There is no Regatta parking available at Harbour Bay Plaza, Sewall’s Point, or on MacArthur Blvd. Please note that cars will be towed at the owner’s expense if unauthorized parking occurs.
The Stuart Causeway aka the Ernie Lyons Bridge will be closed to traffic beginning Friday, April 19 at 7 p.m. and will reopen Sunday April 21 at 9 p.m. The causeway will be open to pedestrian traffic from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
There will be one emergency lane available at all times. Please use alternate route Indian River Drive to the Jensen Beach Causeway for Hutchinson Island access.
