Returning from June 21st to 23rd in Costa Smeralda is one of the most anticipated events for all sailing enthusiasts: the Grand Soleil Cup. The 2024 edition is set to reaffirm itself as a focal point for sailing enthusiasts: a moment of challenge, sharing, and conviviality that for its twenty-second edition has chosen one of the most picturesque islands in the Mediterranean, namely Sardinia. The regatta is organized by Cantiere del Pardo, which this year is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary: it is indeed this renowned Italian builder that is the father of the Grand Soleil Yachts brand, with a fleet of sailboats among the most widespread and used in the world, capable of creating a true community of owners and enthusiasts. This is also for this reason that the Grand Soleil Cup is organized every year, a sailing event that represents not only a competition but also a significant gathering for all enthusiasts of the prestigious brand.

The Grand Soleil Cup 2024 will kick off with a special welcome on Thursday, June 20th: it will be an opportunity for all participants to gather and immerse themselves in the unique atmosphere of this year’s “home,” the iconic Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.
