This 9-event Series includes both Drop-Mark and Distance racing for Spinnaker A, B, and C divisions, plus Distance races for Racer-Cruiser, Cruising, and Multi-Hull.
Like the traditions of the Morgan Invasion, the Tampa Bay Hospice Cup appeals to both cruisers and racers. In addition to the traditional Morgan Invasion fleets, the regatta also features open non-Morgan fleets for PHRF, and a “Just-for-Fun” casual fleet. All proceeds will benefit Tampa Bay area Hospice organizations, which offer comprehensive hospice and palliative care, caregiver education, individual and group counseling, spiritual support and many other programs to those it serves regardless of race, age, faith, diagnosis, or financial circumstances.
All boats, including Just For Fun Fleet: $125.00 tax-deductible donation to Tampa Bay Hospice Cup payable in RegattaNetwork plus sales tax, which includes one (1) Mount Gay red hat, one (1) t-shirt and drinks from our generous in-kind sponsors including Mount Gay Rum. Additional shirts ($35) and dinner tickets ($20) may be purchased through RegattaNetwork.
Grab a partner and join us for double-handed race. The goal is not to win but to still be talking after the race!

Follows the Sunday Race format.
We are looking forward to hosting a great race weekend to share with clubs around the South here at Davis Island Yacht Club. There is a maximum of 50 competitors in each of the Green and RWB fleets and a max of 25 in 420 and 25 in Laser.
Information and Registration
This race’s history dates back to 1946 and 2025 has us racing to Venice as Ft. Myers continues to recover from the hurricanes. DIYC is joined by Venice Yacht Club as organizing authority. This is a feeder race for the Bone Island Regatta starting on May 14. An approximately 49.8-mile coastal race, Tampa Bay to Venice will have the same character as prior years. All competitors departing from Tampa Bay compete for the Navigator’s Trophy donated by OH Rogers. It is awarded to the first boat to finish in any class.
Registration is now open and available online via Regatta Network. Click the link below to begin your registration:
