For one extraordinary weekend, the waters around the Isles of Scilly become one of the most exciting boat racecourses in the world.
Settle into Karma St. Martin’s with panoramic views across Tean Sound, sunset drinks in the garden and a dinner celebrating fresh Scilly seafood before heading to St. Mary’s the following morning for the World Pilot Gig Championships.
Watch well over a hundred traditional Cornish pilot gigs take to the water as crews from the UK and beyond battle through the open races and fast-moving Nut Rock heats. Between races, soak up the atmosphere around St. Mary’s harbour, where crews, supporters and spectators spill into the cafés, stalls and waterfront.
Return the next day as the competition reaches its climax with the women’s and men’s finals, followed by prize-giving and celebrations alongside the crews, before heading back to Karma St. Martin’s for one final island evening.
A remarkable weekend of racing, island atmosphere and Scilly hospitality, with Karma St. Martin’s as your base throughout.
