What to Know About the Port Aransas Event
Taking place in October, the Harvest Moon Regatta is an offshore sailboat race that starts in Galveston. Sailors of all skill levels will travel roughly 150 nautical miles over two days and nights before reaching Port Aransas under the full harvest moon.
Typically, boats start arriving in Port Aransas early on Friday and continue into Saturday morning. You are able to track teams online or via an app, which means you can have a better idea of when to be at the harbor. There are several other excellent viewing spots, including the boardwalk and beach near the marina. Be sure to bring a folding chair and snacks so you can be comfy watching the boats sail in. The best way to get from your Port Aransas vacation rental to the festivities is via a golf cart.
Celebrate teams and their successful sails at the post-race party and awards at Roberts Point Park/City Marina on Saturday. For more information as the event draws closer, visit the official Harvest Moon Regatta website.
