MAXI YACHT ROLEX CUP

The Yacht Club Costa Smeralda's Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is the high-water mark of the maxi sailing year. Held in early September across the La Maddalena Archipelago off the Costa Smeralda, the regatta brings together some of the world's largest racing yachts for a week of inshore courses, coastal passages and a social calendar that moves between Porto Cervo's clubs, terraces and beach restaurants.

A fleet of sleek sailboats races across the sparkling blue ocean under a bright sky.
