For this edition of the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe, the Rhum Sweet Club opens its doors. More than just a hospitality offer, it's a unique way to discover the behind-the-scenes workings of the most legendary transatlantic race, getting up close to those who make it happen.

The sun rises over Saint-Malo. The masts trace the horizon line, the crowd gathers on the ramparts, the atmosphere builds. You step through the doors of the Rhum Sweet Club: an official guest lounge, at the heart of the event.

An immersion at the heart of the action

Located in the heart of the village, the club offers a unique view of the harbor. Away from the hustle and bustle, you can enjoy a comfortable space decorated in the colors of the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe 2026. Just a few meters away, the skippers are putting the finishing touches on their preparations. Here, the race isn't watched from afar: it's experienced up close.

A friendly and delicious experience

In a relaxed atmosphere, partners, enthusiasts, and experts exchange analyses and impressions. They discuss weather, strategy, and technical choices. They share a special moment at the heart of the event; enjoy a selection of sweet and savory appetizers featuring Breton and Caribbean flavors, with unlimited beverage service.

Privileged access to the pontoons

Your day/permanent access allows you to go down onto the pontoons, right next to the racing boats. Facing an Ultim or a Class40, without the barrier of the crowds, the perspective changes. You can appreciate the size of the machines, the precision of the preparations, the concentration of the teams. A powerful moment, reserved for a select few.
