Rolex Maxi Cup

The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup has been the flagship annual event for Maxi monohulls, more than 60 feet (18.30 metres) in length, since 1980. Organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and staged in the emerald waters off the club’s magnificent headquarters in Porto Cervo, northern Sardinia, it brings together the greatest number of maxi yachts, which compete for nearly a week in races ranging in distance from 15–35 nautical miles (28 to 65 kilometres)
The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup brings together some of the world’s largest, most elegant and powerful yachts to race together in the enchanting and enthralling waters off the coast of Sardinia. Jewels of naval architecture, these yachts are among the most powerful ever built and are crewed by the best skippers and teams in the world. The monohulls may be immense, but the gaps at the finish line remain small.
The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is one of the most iconic regattas in the international yachting calendar, encompassing unparalleled glamour and dramatic sailing, it is a truly spectacular event.
