Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and Rolex Swan Cup

In September, the crystal-clear waters of Sardinia's Costa Smeralda set the stage for two of the sailing calendar's most prestigious events: the annual Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the biennial Rolex Swan Cup. Organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, these prestigious regattas bring together an extraordinary blend of performance, heritage and glamour, as the world's most powerful Maxi Yachts and the iconic Swan fleet race in one of the most breathtaking and technically demanding venues in the sport.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Maddalena Archipelago, the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup delivers a week of uncompromising competition, where owner-drivers, cutting-edge design, tactical excellence and elite-level crews are tested to their limits. As the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup concludes, so the Rolex Swan Cup begins, welcoming an international fleet of more than 150 Swan yachts, with predominantly Corinthian crews and their guests coming together for six days of thrilling racing combined with a unique social atmosphere off the water. Across both events, the Costa Smeralda provides the perfect arena for world-class sailing defined by precision, innovation and timeless tradition.
