22nd Hobie 16 World Championship

For those wishing to visit friends, family or just wish to see and be part of the 22nd Hobie 16 World Championships at South Seas Island Resort please follow these simple instructions.

Off site entry will be at the South Seas Entry Gate and proceed to the hotel registration. Don’t worry they know about the Hobie Worlds and will be expecting guests such as you. You will pay $5 a carload/vehicle and given a wrist band and parking pass. Follow the signs along the main road to the parking for Captiva Cruises.

It is less than a 5-minute walk to the Hobie Sailing Beach which is known as Sunset Beach though for the Hobie worlds it will be renamed as Hobie Sailing Beach. Food & Beverages will be available at Sunset Beach (cash only) as the rest of the resort is a cashless. As you don’t have a room you will not be able to charge anything. So, this is your only option for buying food and drinks. There are also restrooms in this area for your use.

Captiva Cruises will be having cruises to the racecourse for a fee (TBA) or you can feel free to just relax on the beach, meet the sailors and watch the racing. After the racing you can enjoy the sunset on the beach with your Hobie friends. You are very welcome to enjoy and purchase party tickets on the selected nights.
