The inaugural 2016 California Offshore Race Week featured the combined forces of five yacht clubs along the California coast to produce a week-long schedule of offshore racing.

Beginning on May 27, 58 boats competed in the 88nm Spinnaker Cup from San Francisco to Monterey. This was followed on May 30 by 27 boats participating in the 200nm Coastal Cup from Monterey to Santa Barbara. The finale on June 3 was the SoCal 300 taking 27 teams along the 254nm course from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

Seventeen teams competed in all three events that comprised the inaugural California Offshore Race Week. Horizon (SC 50), skippered by John Schulze from Balboa Yacht Club, took first place in the overall Race Week standings.
