A summer of sailing

Balearics, Spain

24 April 2026

La Larga

La Larga sets the tone for PalmaVela week with an offshore shake‑down around Mallorca. Track the fleet from quiet coves, then sail into Palma as the pontoons fill and the inshore programme begins. An exciting way to blend a cruising start with race‑day energy.

Naples, Italy

22 May 2026

Regata dei Tre Golfi

An Italian classic linking three storied bays. Offshore legs, night sailing and postcard coastlines make it a favourite for maxis and performance cruisers. Anchor off Positano between starts for a quieter take on race week.

Sorrento, Italy

25–28 May 2026

IMA Maxi European Championship

Europe’s quickest big boats go head‑to‑head off Sorrento. Expect short‑course intensity and close‑quarters spectating from a tender off the weather mark. Be sure not to miss Capri for sunset.

Livorno - Punta Ala, Italy

30 May 2026

151 Miglia – Trofeo Cetilar

A fast sprint along Tuscany’s coast that brings the fleet near Forte dei Marmi before they head toward the Tuscan Archipelago. Watch from the Forte pier or nearby luxury beach clubs, then follow the boats south for an overnight yacht‑charter pairing.

Antiparos, Greece

10–13 June 2026

Cyclades Cup

Aegean breeze, tight island courses, unhurried evenings. The third edition has already become a fixture for Med‑based superyachts seeking competitive sailing without losing the island pace. Base in Antiparos and day‑sail to Despotiko for swims after racing.

Saint‑Tropez - Genoa

12–20 June 2026

Loro Piana Giraglia

A week of racing in Saint‑Tropez followed by the classic passage around the Giraglia rock to a finish in Genoa. Simple to plan and easy to follow: begin in Saint‑Tropez for the opening action, then position in Liguria for the arrivals and prize‑giving.

Mallorca, Spain

24–27 June 2026

Superyacht Cup Palma

Taking it back to Palma for the Superyacht Cup Palma, where big‑boat sailors get serious. Clear courses, reliable breeze and a social scene within strolling distance of the quay.

Porto Cervo, Sardinia

June 2026

TP52 World Championship

The TP52s deliver fingertip racing off Porto Cervo. Intense, short‑course sailing set metres from the rocks; best angles by tender, then back to shore for dockside debriefs. Arguably the regatta with the most action, pressure, and spectacle. The TP52 World Championship, the pinnacle of grand‑prix monohull racing is truly something not to miss.

Sounio loop, Greece

5 July 2026

Aegean 600

A full‑fat 600‑mile lap of the Aegean past capes, temples and volcanic islands. Shadow a leg by mothership and pick vantage points at Milos or Santorini while the fleet sends it.

Palermo to Monaco

18 August 2026

Palermo - Monte Carlo Regatta

A summer offshore that connects two glamorous worlds. Shadow the fleet along northern Sicily, then beat them to Port Hercule for a front‑row berth at the line.

Porto Cervo, Sardinia

6–12 September 2026

Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup

The benchmark maxi regatta. Pressure lanes and rock‑hugging laylines through the Maddalena islands reward boat‑handling and nerve. Ideal from a chase tender near La Maddalena’s channels. Farfalla and Vertigo, both available on charter this summer in the Mediterranean, offer an unforgettable sailing experience of their own.

Saint‑Tropez

12–13 September 2026

Rockwool France Sail Grand Prix

National teams race identical F50s at freeway speeds in the bay of Saint‑Tropez. This regatta can be defined as short, sharp, spectacular. A perfect two‑day adrenaline hit in the heart of the Côte d’Azur.

Cannes

22–27 September 2026

Régates Royales

Around 150 classic yachts — from pocket racers to grand schooners — turn the Bay of Cannes into a living museum. It’s the Riviera at its most photogenic. Windrose of Amsterdam, a magnificent sailing yacht available for charter, would be the perfect fit at the Cannes Royal Reggata.

Saint Tropez, France

26 September – 4 October 2026

Les Voiles de Saint‑Tropez

Two weeks where varnished icons and sharp‑edged moderns share the same stage. This iconic regatta includes mornings on the water, evenings on the quay, and the closing of the Saint Tropez season.

Valencia, Spain

October 2026

Valencia’s autumn conditions suit the 52s down to the waterline. Characterised by a clean breeze, technical shifts, and a grandstand viewing from the breakwater.

Valletta, Malta

17 October 2026

Rolex Middle Sea Race

Last but certainly not least, to end to the 2026 regatta season, we find ourselves in Valletta. With grandstand departure from Grand Harbour, then a lap around Sicily with Etna on the horizon. A spectacular way to finish the 2026 season and build excitement for what's to come in 2027.
