Aug 11, 2024 - Aug 31, 2024
Whether arriving by cruise ship or yacht, St Helena is accessible through the Island’s capital, Jamestown.
Our cruise ship season starts from October and ends in April.
There is no breakwater in James Bay, all visiting cruise ships drop anchor in the bay and passengers are tendered ashore.
When you arrive within 20nm of St Helena, you should call St Helena Radio on VHF Channel 16 to confirm your arrival and seek Customs/Immigration clearance.
You should fly a ʻQʼ flag (yellow) until you have gained pratique. Yachts may be boarded by Port Authority/Immigration/Customs officers or you may be directed to report ashore at an appointed time. The visitorsʼ moorings are allocated by the Harbour Master.
Should you arrive during normal working hours, try calling on VHF Channel 14 and speak to the Harbour Master directly.
The Harbour Master or St Helena Yacht Services will direct you to one of the numbered moorings, dependent on your LOA and tonnage.
Should you arrive during the night and the Harbour Master is not available, you may pick up any free red/yellow buoy until morning.
You will find a 25mm galvanised mooring ring on the buoy, to which you should attach your own mooring lines.

Skippers MUST navigate in accordance with the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). The following coordinates (WGS 84 Datum – Admiralty Chart 1771) will place you just to the north of the visitorsʼ mooring field which is located to the west of Ladder Hill point, between the 10m and 20m contours:
015º 55ʼ.400S – 005º 43ʼ.500W
When approaching James Bay from the east, yachts should stay clear of the charted mooring and anchoring areas. Be aware when arriving during the hours of darkness or in conditions of reduced visibility, that vessels on the moorings are not lit and that some moorings in the area off Mundenʼs Point are not charted. Keep a lookout for fishing pots along the coast.
Rollers and heavy swell are most common between December and March. In the event of an extreme weather event or high rollers, the Harbour Master may direct yachts to evacuate the moorings. Failure to obey the directions of the Harbourmaster or an Officer of the Crown (Police/Customs/Immigration) is an offence under the Harbour/Police Ordinances and may render you liable to arrest and/or prosecution.
Yachts will be required to pay the following fees to the Harbour Master for which a receipt must be issued:
Harbour / Light Dues: £35.00 for the first month and £10.00 per month for an additional month after. Yachts / Vessels over 2,000 tones: £1.80 per 100 tone. Mooring Fee Yellow Buoys (First night free): £2.00 per night Moring Fee Red Buoys (First night free) £3.00 per night

The Governors Cup
The Cape to St Helena yacht race
I hold that competition in one form or another will always exist, and that it is highly desirable it should. {b}
A bi-annual yacht race from South Africa to St Helena
From its inception the race was known as The Governors Cup , but since 2018 it has been branded as the Cape to St Helena Race , although the trophy awarded to the winning yacht is still called The Governors Cup (after Governor Smallman , who donated it ).
The race was conceived by former Captain of the RMS St Helena (1990-2018) Captain David Roberts, after he watched the Cape to Rio fleet sail through Duncan Dock to Table Bay from the Royal Cape Yacht Club in January 1996. He was quoted on the occasion of the first race for The Governors Cup later that year:
What could be more romantic and exciting than watching this colourful fleet sail out to the start, impatient for the gun to sound so they could be off and racing for their exotic destination. All this, staged in the amphitheatre of Table Bay with its majestic mountain. Truly inspirational. Well, on this occasion it proved to be, because in the hour that I stood on the bridge-wing of my ship, safely tied up alongside Duncan Dock, the idea began to form of just such a race, but this time to the Island of St Helena.
By 11 th January, when the RMS St Helena (1990-2018) arrived at Jamestown , he had formed a firm idea of how the event might be organised, which he outlined to then Governor David Smallman . As a sailor himself Governor Smallman was enthusiastic and suggested that, given that there was an Admirals Cup yacht race, then perhaps we might call the Cape to St Helena race The Governors Cup Race.
A presentation was made to the Committee and interested members of the Royal Cape Yacht Club in June that year and the Governors Discretionary Fund was able to finance the purchase of the trophy. Later, Governor Smallman was able to arrange that Steve Tshwete , the South African Government Minister for Sport, attend an official reception and lunch on the Sun Deck on the RMS, and Steve Tshwete started that first race out in Table Bay by sounding the ships siren.
Governor Smallman recalls {1} :
It was the yachties idea to have what was billed as a Round the Island Race with all volunteers to be found a berth on board a yacht. The response was amazing and a large number of young Saints had their first experience of being under sail. I decided to build on this by proposing to start a sail-training scheme; and this is where the Canadian, Nina Maclennan comes into the picture. Ninas late husband had been a keen sailor and member of the Royal Cape Yacht Club, which had led to her following that first Race to St Helena aboard the RMS. She saw how much the young Saints had enjoyed themselves and when I told her about my plan for a sail-training scheme she promised a cash donation towards the cost of the dinghies that I hoped to obtain. With the help of the Royal Cape Yacht Club I chose to purchase two Saldanha dinghies in South Africa. The City of London Leathersellers Company, one of the ancient Livery Companies founded by Royal Charter in 1444 and situated in St Helens Place in London, was more than pleased to make a major contribution towards financing my project. Thus, with the Leathersellers generous contribution, Ninas donation, and a small grant from the Governors Discretionary Fund we were able to purchase and ship the dinghies to St Helena. The sail-training project was popular and presided over by Graham Sim. With the help of a couple of ex-pat sailors, the project prepared a group of youngsters to finish their training in Cape Town . There they formed the crews of the yachts Group 4 , skippered by Paul Bennett, and Sprint , the yacht sponsored by Curnow Shipping and skippered by Jonathan Blaine, for the 1998 Governors Cup Race. All acquitted themselves well. Their success, and enthusiasm for sailing, led me to suggest that the sail-training project and its assets be transferred to a sailing club. As a result, the St Helena Yacht Club was formed and steps were taken during 1999 by the St Helena Government to make the old Bond Store on The Wharf available to SHYC as a club house. My wife and I were honoured to become the first honorary life members of the SHYC on our departure from the Island in June 1999. The Race has flourished since with the help of the False Bay Yacht Club.
Below: 1996-2010 2012 2014 2016 2018 2020 / 2021 2022 2024
The first race attracted 15 entries and the Santa Cruz 50 footer Nina won the cup, arriving first at 11am on Tuesday 17 th December, 9 days after departing Cape Town . Although no Saints took part in the initial race, 10 St Helenians {2} represented the Island two years later in the 1998 race on yachts Group 4 and Sprint . The race was won by Merlin , with Nina 2 nd and Group 4 3 rd .
The 2000 race saw 16 entries, of which 12 finished, with the winner being the 37-foot yacht Gladeye arriving after 10 days, 9 hours, 41 minutes and 58 seconds of sailing from Cape Town , with Beluga taking Line Honours. 2002 not only saw the fourth Governors Cup Race but was also the year that St Helena celebrated its 500 th anniversary of discovery . The race, which ended the year long Quincentenary celebrations, was organised together with the False Bay Yacht Club in Simons Town. 13 Saints were able to participate. Beluga took Line Honours, arriving on 9 th December after 8 days, 22 hours and 2 minutes at sea, and the Cup went to Our Dianne , arriving on the 10 th .
Ten Saints took part in the 2004 race. Line Honours were taken by Bossanova , arriving on 18 th December. The winning yacht was Our Dianne , followed by The Southern Isles with Monarch Assurances Beluga in third place. In 2006 thirteen yachts set sail into an unusual westerly wind, but otherwise near perfect weather conditions in Table Bay, Cape Town for the 1675 nautical mile race. The 34-footer Our Dianne triumphantly crossed the line on 7 th January 2007 to claim line honours; Diddakoi arrived on 8 th January and was declared winner of The Governors Cup. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the race The Independent published A Decade of Sailing Ⓘ .
Poor winds hampered the 2008/9 race, which set off from False Bay Yacht Club, Cape Town on 29 th December 2008. After 6 days at sea, the fleet was spread out some 600 odd miles from Cape Town , averaging roughly 100 nautical miles a day (in the 2006 race at the same stage the fleet had covered more than 1,800Km ). Phoenix won Line Honours, arriving on 11 th January after 12 days, 19 hours and 48 minutes at sea. The Cruising Class was won by Blazin , arriving on 13 th January, and Patches won the Racing Class and The Governors Cup, arriving on 12 th January. In 2010 line honours went to Banjo , arriving on 11 th December, and Our Dianne won The Governors Cup, arriving later the same day.
In 2012 the race set off from South Africa on 22 nd December. Over 90 people participated, from a single handed racer; a Scout Association youth crew; family cruising boats; a folding trimaran and of course the fast downwind racing yachts, all vying for line honours. The Principal Race Officer and also an experienced competitor in the race said:
While the race could be compared to the Newport to Bermuda downwind dash, or the Sydney to Hobart race, it is truly unique in that it is an event with three holidays in one. Theres the downwind dash from Simons Town to St Helena with all the excitement of surfing down the huge Atlantic rollers , with loved ones sailing on the RMS and being on the Island to welcome you at the finish line with champagne and cold beers! Then theres the holiday in paradise on St Helena with the welcome and inclusion in Islander life; as well as beautiful hikes, great pub s with great and varied atmosphere and parties galore. And finally theres the five star return voyage on the RMS St Helena (1990-2018) . Thats five nights of fun and laughter, the best of food and days filled with traditional mail ship deck games.
The trimaran Banjo with its skipper and owner Kevin Webb and crew Sarel Van der Merwe and Brad Stemmett, arrived on 1 st January 2013 and claimed The Bellows Line Honours Tray. The St Helena team finished fourth in the yacht Patches . Thinus Groenewalds Reaction with a 0.925 handicap won the Racing Monohull, and thus the 2012 Governors Cup, in just under 12 days arriving on 3 rd January 2013, beating its highly contested rival, Indaba . Rob Newmans catamaran Compromise , from False Bay Yacht Club, was the winner of the Rally Multihull fleet. Although Banjo beat Compromise to the finish line, Compromise secured their win, with a handicap of 1.050. JML Rotary Scout gained the title of Rally Monohull with a finish time of 19 days and 29 minutes.
The race start was on 27 th December 2014, from the False Bay Yacht Club in Simons Town, South Africa . Seventeen yachts set off for the race and heavy sea swells and winds gusting up to 40kts helped them to push forward. The 31ft trimaran Banjo - first across the finish line in 2012 - led the fleet as the yachts left Simons Town and headed for Cape Point.
Banjo arrived first at St Helena, at 1:53am on 6 th January, and thus took line honours and also broke the yachts previous race record by sailing in after 9 days, 13 hours and 36 seconds at sea.
Banjo was skippered in 2014 by Kevin Webb, with crew Sarel van der Merwe and Brad Stemmett. Sadly Customs and Immigration would not come out for a 2am arrival so the crew had to wait offshore until nearly 10am to come ashore. Tired but jubilant, they are shown, with partners, below:
Next in was Avanti , two days later at 2:04am on 8 th January 2015, followed by Black Cat at just before 9am the same day.
Avanti was re-classified by the race organisers into the Cruising Class, and hence Black Cat was declared winner of the 2014 Governors Cup.
The next yacht in was Strumpet , which arrived early on 9 th January, flying the Jolly Roger and loudly playing the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean on the boats music system. Apparently their only problem during the voyage was running out of Coke for their Rum and Cokes.
The final race positions were as shown (below) . Note that some yachts were re-classified by the organisers during the race; they are shown below in their final classifications.

In 2014 the St Helena Yacht Club ran a competition in the local schools to design a sail for the St Helena Yacht. Unfortunately the St Helena Yacht could not take part, but the designs for the winner, first and second runners-up are presented below:
There was no race in 2016. Uncertainties over the Airport opening caused a distraction and no race was organised.

The 2018 race was run entirely by the Royal Cape Yacht Club and for the first time was branded as The Cape to St Helena Race (though the trophy name remained the same). Entries officially closed on 30 th November but late entries were, apparently, accepted as late as 17 th December. The final list included 15 yachts: Asante , Avanti , Avocet , Banjo , Caribbean Soul , Carpe Diem , Compromise , Felix , Hirondelle , Indaba , JML Rotary Scout , Naledi , Rocket , Ronin & Yolo . For the first time a yacht from St Helena took part: Carpe Diem owned and sailed by James Herne & family aided by South African Rob Winter.
15 yachts departed Cape Town on 26 th December. Two retired the same day: Avanti with autopilot problems and Hirondelle . JML Rotary Scout retired on 30 th , putting into Lüderitz with forestay damage. The remaining 12 completed the race.
First to cross the finish line was Banjo at around 9:30pm on 3 rd January - much faster than expected (first arrivals had been predicted for 5 th ). Rocket was next at just after 6am on the 4 th and Naledi at around 10:30pm the same day. The rest of the yachts, including Carpe Diem , arrived between the 5 th and the 7 th .
After applying the necessary handicap, The Governors Cup was awarded to Indaba , a 34-foot Van der Stadt, which was also the winner in the Monohull Class. Line honours went to Banjo , a Farrier F9AX trimaran, and the winner in the Multihull Class was Compromise , a du Toit yacht. (Full results table, right.)
More details here and a full report in The Sentinel , Thursday 10 th January 2019.
A 2020 race was announced in October 2019 but was abandoned due to Covid‑19 . A 2021 race was intended to replace it but was itself cancelled, again due to Covid‑19 .
With the announced abolition of the islands Covid‑19 quarantine restrictions from 8 th August 2022 a race was quickly arranged, starting from Cape Town on 29 th December 2022.
The results were:

In December 2018, just before the start of the 2018 race, The Independent ran a story claiming most of the trophies had gone missing since the 2014 race. Fortunately the following week they were able to report that the trophies were not, and never had been missing - they were safely stored in the Museum of St Helena .
That used to be easy. From 1996 to 2014, after the race those that chose not to sail back (against the Trade Wind ) used to get a lift on the RMS St Helena (1990-2018) , as the picture shows (right) . But with the commencement of the scheduled commercial air service and the decommissioning of the RMS this is no longer possible Possibly a yacht could be carried as Sea Freight ; otherwise the only option is to sail back.
On this subject, the following letter appeared in The Independent on 7 th November 2014:
Sir, It has recently been suggested to me that the 2014 edition of The Governors Cup yacht race might be the last time that the race is run from Cape Town to St Helena. The reason adduced being that the RMS St Helena (1990-2018) will be withdrawn from service in 2015, and thus unavailable to carry yachts back to South Africa as deck cargo. I understand the concern, as the Race has tended to have been sold to South African sailors as a return package. But, as the entry records will show, not all of the fleet sought to return via the RMS, or indeed at all. For the 1996 and 1998 races there were a handful of cruisers going on North after the race, principally to the Caribbean, (which was why we framed the Race as a competition open to all classes of boat and crews). Others sailed back. Indeed, I recall one married couple crew from the Royal Cape Yacht Club whom we met at sea a long way West of Cape Town on our way back from Tristan da Cunha in 1997. They had left the Island soon after the Christmas and Yacht Race festivities to go back to their business in South Africa. In the meantime, the RMS St Helena (1990-2018) had steamed to Cape Town following an Ascension Island shuttle; discharged passengers and some yachts and cargo over the weekend in Cape Town ; loaded for Tristan; sailed to Edinburgh-of-the-Seven-Seas for a three day/two nights stopover; and was a couple of days out of Cape Town on the return voyage when we received a radio message from the yacht to ask whether it was possible for the RMS St Helena (1990-2018) to drop off some water, fuel and cigarettes for the crew who had run out of all three - and it was their wedding anniversary! We made a night-time rendezvous, illuminating the yachts sail in the darkness of the night with the ships spotlight, transferred the needed supplies and some goodies, chatted over the radio and were promised a beer at the RCYC for our efforts when they got back there. Well, almost a week later, and after the normal 2/3 day turnaround at Cape Town , they had not arrived. The RMS St Helena (1990-2018) was leaving Duncan Dock for the homeward leg to Jamestown when we learnt that they were off Camps Bay. We diverted there to wish them well and a safe night ashore, but left without the promised beer! So, although it is undoubtedly difficult sailing against the wind and current it is possible, by taking a wide western loop, to return under sail. However, I cannot imagine that this would prove to be a popular option as it would eat into vacation time. Personally, I think that it would be valuable to spend some time and effort in the UK and elsewhere to attract, particularly Northern Hemisphere sailors to take part; and to sell the idea to the world-wide cruising community potentially sailing North to the Caribbean that it would be a fun thing to do. I had some limited success doing this in the UK in the summers of 1996 and 1997-98, but I recognise that it would certainly need professional help outside St Helena to keep the Race alive. But, nothing should be written off as pointless effort in the drive to grow St Helenas tourism and image in the world. The Governors Cup Race was, I believe, the seismic change in Saint Helenian attitudes which led to tourism being a fully acceptable industry in which the Island could engage. And, as the joint founder of the Race with Dave Roberts, I hope the enthusiasm engendered by the event over the subsequent years doesnt dissipate after the 2014 Race. That would be a shame, but maybe thats progress? Whatever happens to the Race, it has to be remembered that The Governors Cup itself belongs to St Helena having originally been commissioned and purchased by myself from the Discretionary Fund in 1996. Yours faithfully, David Smallman Governor, St Helena 1995 - 1999

St Helenas crew in the 2012 Governors Cup yacht race sailed home from South Africa on a diet of curry sauce - and blocked the lavatory twice. Skipper Chris Hedge Shuter reports:
The race was a great adventure for the crew, who worked very hard together to overcome the challenges of a long ocean voyage. The crew did amazingly well, considering that they were novices and we had only two training sessions in False Bay before the race. We crossed the start line with them not knowing how to fly a spinnaker and I taught them to sail en route. Even so, we managed to finish fourth overall and retain the Muira Trophy for yacht Patches . There were many amusing incidents, including the crew blocking the heads [toilet] twice, much to their chagrin, and causing the skipper to use some choice language as he dismantled it again. For some reason the RMS St Helena (1990-2018) food suppliers delivered us 19 cucumbers, 3kg of garlic, 30 tins of curry sauce, no meat and no water! This lead to an interesting diet for two weeks at sea. The welcome home was a very humbling experience. Several boats came out to greet us and there was a great reception crowd waiting at the steps. The skipper and crew were overwhelmed and are very grateful to those who made the effort. The crew took great pride in representing the island and did their very best to be good ambassadors for St Helena.

Yacht club festival concerns due to flooding.
Flooding on the Mississippi River has St. Paul’s Harriet Island underwater still – only a few weeks before the inaugural Yacht Club music festival is scheduled to take place at the same location. For now city officials say the show will go on as planned.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - After its inaugural festival seemingly went off without a hitch – despite flooding on Harriet Island in the weeks prior to the event – Minnesota Yacht Club Festival organizers announced dates for a return in 2025.
According to a social media post, organizers say, "we're thrilled to announce our return!" and advised music fans its 2025 festival will be held on July 18-20, again at Harriet Island in St. Paul.
The iteration of the festival occurred on July 19-20, 2024, and featured the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette, the Offspring and more.
The festival organizers did not say who would perform at the 2025 festival.
The festival is set again for july 18-20 following a strong turnout in the st. paul event’s inaugural year..
By Chris Riemenschneider
Star Tribune
The dates have been set for the Minnesota Yacht Club music festival’s return to St. Paul’s Harriet Island Regional Park in July 2025, and there’s already one glaring difference from its inaugural year: Three days are listed instead of two.
“Thanks to your support, we’re extending to THREE days,” festival organizers announced in social media posts Tuesday morning.
The days confirmed in the announcement are July 18-20, a Friday through a Sunday. This year’s MYC fell on the same weekend but only ran Friday and Saturday , with performers including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alanis Morissette, Gwen Stefani, Gary Clark Jr., Joan Jett and the Offspring.
There was little doubt the festival would be back for another year. It drew a near-capacity crowd of around 35,000 fans each day of its 2024 run, and — aside from some intermittently long concession lines — it earned relatively high marks from organizers and audience members alike.
“We were very happy with the inaugural festival this year,” MYC promoter Tim Sweetwood of C3 Presents, which put on the festival, said in a statement. “Our team has continued to work closely with Saint Paul city officials and collectively determined expanding into a third day made a lot of sense. We are thrilled to return with an all-new lineup July 18-20, 2025 and will continue to highlight the arts and people of Minnesota.”
Organizers have not yet offered more info on the second-year plans, including what kind of an impact the added third day will have on ticket prices. The only link included in Tuesday’s announcement was to pre-book rooms at hotels affiliated with the festival.
Fans can likely expect to pay about $100 more for the general admission passes for three days instead of two. Those started around $200 in early bird pricing for this past year’s festival before being bumped up to $255. The many different VIP options — $255-$1,395 for two-day passes in 2024 — will also go up exponentially with the extra day.
Texas’ C3 Presents specializes in multiday festivals such as Lollapalooza in Chicago, Austin City Limits, Boston Calling and New York’s Governors Ball. Those fests all last three days, too.
What typically happens with these festivals is: Early bird tickets go on sale in the fall or winter at discount prices without any of next year’s artists being named, then the music lineup gets announced in the winter or spring, and then tickets go on sale at their standard prices.
In other words, expect many more updates on MYC 2025 between now and next summer.

Today's Paper
Music and concerts, subscriber only, music and concerts | minnesota yacht club festival will return in 2025 with an added third day of music, red hot chili peppers, gwen stefani and alanis morissette drew about 70,000 fans to the inaugural event.
Promoters announced the news on social media Tuesday morning, but shared few details beyond the dates and an online link to book hotel rooms during the festival.
In a statement issued to the Pioneer Press, promoter/producer Tim Sweetwood said: “We were very happy with the inaugural festival this year. Our team has continued to work closely with St. Paul city officials and collectively determined expanding into a third day made a lot of sense. We are thrilled to return with an all-new lineup July 18-20, 2025, and will continue to highlight the arts and people of Minnesota.”
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gwen Stefani and Alanis Morissette headlined the first Minnesota Yacht Club Festival, which drew about 70,000 concertgoers across two days. It was the first major rock and pop music festival on Harriet Island since 2012’s River’s Edge Music Festival, which Live Nation promised would become an annual event but bailed on after losing money in its first year.
Austin, Texas, promoters C3 Presents staged the Yacht Club festival, which faced a few obstacles, including on-site flooding in June and the last-minute cancellation of the Black Crowes “due to an illness in the band.” Some concertgoers complained about food and drink prices, and long lines, but in terms of getting in and around the site, the infrastructure and general vibe, C3’s experience in mounting festivals became quite clear by late afternoon on opening day .
While Live Nation owns 51 percent of C3, the company apparently is allowed to follow its own path. It has found success with similar festivals around the country, including Austin City Limits Music Festival, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and the modern-day Lollapalooza.
In a Pioneer Press interview prior to the Yacht Club festival, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter compared the event to the Frozen Four and the World Junior Hockey Championship and said: “I think when it comes to attracting winning events of national and global importance and significance, we’re doing as well as we ever have as a city and getting people to choose St. Paul.”
Concertgoers should expect a slow roll out of details over the next year, likely starting with early bird tickets going on sale later in 2024 and a lineup announced in the new year.
