The historic Gosport Regatta will sail once again from the Piscataqua River Basin. You can follow the fleet of sailing boats as they race to Star Island on board the Thomas Laighton, Gosport Regatta’s official spectator boat, and join in the celebrations marking the return of this historic race. The first Gosport Regatta of 1874 was sponsored by John Poor, owner of the Oceanic Hotel, and was won by the famous yacht America.

Tickets at $125 per person and $225 per couple are available by contacting Star Island Corporation at (603) 430-6272.
