The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2025 will be held from September 7 to 13 in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in collaboration with the International Maxi Association and supported by Rolex. This 35th edition will gather an elite fleet of maxi yachts and multihulls measuring over 60 feet, including high-performance IRC racers competing for the Rolex IMA Maxi 1 World Championship. The event will also host the Maxi Grand Prix Class, featuring some of the fastest former Maxi72 yachts.
Racing will take place along the spectacular coastline of northern Sardinia and through the La Maddalena archipelago, with a mix of coastal and offshore courses designed to test both speed and strategy. The week opens with a skipper briefing and welcome cocktail on the YCCS terrace, and concludes with the prize-giving in Porto Cervo’s iconic Piazza Azzurra. Known for its competitive spirit and elegance, the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup remains one of the most prestigious superyacht regattas in the world, blending cutting-edge design, world-class sailing talent, and the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean.
