The three passage races that constitute the Commodores Cup take competitors on a scenic loop around the islands and bays.
The resort, formerly Salamander Shores, holds a special place in the heart of Sail Port Stephens organisers, who were based there in the regatta's formative years.
"The new sponsorship rekindles a long and very happy relationship with the 'Sally'," race director Paul O'Rourke says.
A record fleet is tipped for this year's Commodores Cup, with over 70 yachts already entered in the spinnaker and non-spinnaker divisions.
Sizes range from the Beneteau Oceanis 51 Wilde Rush down to a Melges 24 campaigned by host club Corlette Point Sailing Association.
Around 10 Jeanneaus will be competing for their own class trophy.
Sail Port Stephens 2019 will wind up April 14.
