2025 Seychelles Challenge celebrates successes at awards evening |29 July 2025

And just like that, a week of sun, sea, and sails has drawn to a magnificent close. The 2025 Seychelles Challenge has concluded and leaves behind a wake of memories on the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

After one final exhilarating day of tactical racing, the salt-crusted but high-spirited crews furled their sails for the last time. The competitive energy of the day gave way to an evening of camaraderie and celebration as Seychelles Challenge competitors, Fareast 28R teams, event partners, and the rising stars of the Absa Youth Challenge gathered at the elegant Eden Bleu Hotel on Saturday night.

It was a fitting finale – an evening filled with awards, reflections, and shared stories under the tropical sky.

The night: magical. The mood: triumphant. The week in paradise: unforgettable.
