Vendée Va'a

2025 Edition — 14th Vendée Va'a

From May 28 to 31, 2025, Les Sables-d'Olonne vibrated to the rhythm of Polynesia for the 14th edition of Vendée Va'a. Twenty-six international crews battled the Atlantic waves over 128 km for men and 56 km for women. The Polynesian village set up on the Remblai offered crafts, exotic gastronomy, and cultural workshops. The evenings were illuminated by the troupes Aloha Tahiti Show, Hei Show Tahiti Ori, and Hotu Rau Ori, as well as concerts by Aremistic, Keanui Brothers, and Maohi Sunrise & Friends. The patron of this edition was Benjamin Dutreux, a Vendée Globe navigator.
