The Regatta Story

From our beginnings as “Regatta Promotions” and our rebranding to “You Regatta,” we’ve now advanced to “Regatta, Custom Merch Solutions,” underscoring our dedication to tailored merchandise solutions.

In 2007, Carter White founded Regatta Promotions after spending over a decade as a professional sailmaker. Within just a few years, Regatta Promotions established itself as a top resource for regional sailing regatta organizers and yacht club managers, specializing in providing the finest products for clubs, events, competitors, and members.

Molly White became a member of our team in 2019, bringing with her a wealth of experience to support our ongoing expansion and manage various aspects of our business. Prior to joining us, Molly dedicated 18 years to teaching 5th grade in Poland and Cumberland, Maine, and spent her summers coaching sailing and overseeing junior sailing programs. Her extensive background in organizing sailing regattas and events provided a solid foundation for contributing to our company’s growth. That same year marked the launch of You Regatta, with the company shifting its focus entirely to the promotional products sector.

Starting with a strong presence in the sailing community, You Regatta’s client list began to diversify into the educational and business sectors in Maine and New Hampshire. Throughout this expansion, the company continued to excel in providing promotional products, branded apparel, and awards for the sailing community. The commitment to high-quality products and services in those formative years played a crucial role in driving You Regatta’s growth.

In 2021, You Regatta further expanded its operations, relocating to a new facility at 400 US Route 1, Falmouth, Maine, and growing its team of skilled professionals. Concurrently, the company extended its reach into additional business sectors. Today, You Regatta serves a diverse range of industries, including the Maine marine sector, sailing communities throughout the country, construction, financial services, non-profits, education, technology, and municipalities.

As You Regatta expanded, we enhanced the range of services offered to our clients, which now includes:

  1. Branded Product Solutions

  2. Custom Branded Webstores

  3. Graphic Design

  4. Multiple Decorating Processes

  5. Eco & Sustainability Products

  6. Uniform Programs

  7. Trade Show / Event Merch & Displays

  8. Corporate Gifting

  9. Custom Awards & Plaques

  10. Kitting & Fulfillment

In 2024, You Regatta rebranded as Regatta, adopting the tagline “Custom Merch Solutions” to better align with our expanding client base. With our broadened range of services and product offerings, it’s essential that we clearly communicate to both existing and new customers how we address their branding and promotional needs, and the methods we use to achieve it.

Our tight-knit team delivers exceptional results for our customers, no matter how small the order. We handle each request with the same care and attention as if it were our own.
