First introduced in 2008, this is the regatta that opens the Mediterranean superyacht calendar. Organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) and Boat International Media, it attracts an ever-increasing fleet of sailing yachts. Modern and classic, performance and cruising vessels will once again head for the breath-taking waters of Sardinia, enjoying five days of exciting racing.
So far, 12 yachts have registered for the regatta, including such outstanding vessels as the 62m Holland Jachtbouw charter yacht Athos, the 33m Vitters superyacht Inoui and the 46m luxury yacht Ganesha, as well as the 57m Royal Huisman sailing yacht Twizzle.
