Established in 2013, the Dockville Regatta is a sailing regatta held annually on the first Saturday of August in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Referred to by most as simply “Dockville”, the event is widely known for the raucous party that takes place on the pier-head. There has never been an actual race at the Dockville Regatta, making it the longest standing regatta with no participants. This peculiar phenomenon caused the Dockville Regatta to become known as “the race that never left the dock”. Experts attribute the perpetual lack of maritime competition to the fact that patrons are generally more concerned with socializing with their peers and consuming alcoholic beverages.
