It is on the island of St. Martin that the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea meet for eternity. Nature is always right, man has followed in its footsteps, by organizing on this blessed land of the gods, an annual Regatta. This major event has been bringing together sailing enthusiasts from all over the world for several decades: the Heineken Regatta, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary!
