Grand Soleil Cup 2024 is getting ready for its grand return in Costa Smeralda

by Grand Soleil Yachts 26 Mar 11:29 PDT 21-23 June 2024

Cantiere del Pardo is pleased to announce the return of the Grand Soleil Cup, which will take place from June 21st to June 23rd 2024, in the clear waters of the Costa Smeralda, Sardinia.

A sailing event, organized in collaboration with the Yacht club Costa Smeralda, that represents a significant appointment for the community of owners and enthusiasts of the prestigious Italian brand Grand Soleil Yachts.

After a year full of events and successes, during which Cantiere del Pardo celebrated fifty years of excellence, the Grand Soleil Cup is ready to reaffirm itself as a point of reference for sailing passionates: a moment of challenge, sharing, and conviviality that for its twenty-second edition has chosen one of the most suggestive islands in the Mediterranean, Sardinia.

While all participants are welcome to moor in the Marina di Porto Cervo from Thursday, June 20th, to Monday, June 24th, the first 40 registered boats will enjoy the added benefit of a complimentary berth.

The Grand Soleil Cup 2024 will begin with a special welcome on Thursday, June 20th, an opportunity for participants to gather and immerse themselves in the unique atmosphere of this year's "home", the iconic Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. Friday will be dedicated to registrations, followed by the crew briefing and a refined cocktail on the terrace, where participants can share their experiences and anticipate the emotions of the sailing.

Saturday and Sunday will be the highlight days with both days reserved for sailing, during which Grand Soleil owners will sail together in one of the most famous and prestigious regatta course in the world, testing their skills and determination. Fun is guaranteed! Saturday night, the atmosphere will transform into an elegant gala dinner, a moment of celebration that will pay homage to all participants of the Grand Soleil Cup 2024.

Among the boats already registered, two Grand Soleil 72s and two Grand Soleil 65s stand out, the newest models in the line above 60 feet curated by Franco Corazza, which the shipyard has launched on the market in the last two years, confirming the success they are achieving.

Registrations open from March 25, 2024
Competitors must register within June 12th 2024, by completing the registration form on the website www.yccs.com and sending it via email to the secretariat's address (). For information, visit the dedicated Grand Soleil Cup page on the website www.grandsoleil.net.
