Nearly seventy boats on the startline, around 700 sailors, and owners arriving from the United States and Brazil. These are the numbers behind the 12th edition of the Solaris Cup, returning to Porto Rotondo and reaffirming its place as one of the most important boatyard events in the Mediterranean.
Porto Rotondo is no coincidental choice. Its sheltered, scenic waters, world-class marina facilities, and distinctive atmosphere — exclusive yet genuinely nautical — make it the natural home for an event of this calibre. The Porto Rotondo Marina and the Porto Rotondo Yacht Club are essential partners in the organisation, their involvement ensuring a level of hospitality fully consistent with the event's character.
The fleet is international by nature. Alongside returning owners — a community that reconvenes year after year — the 12th Solaris Cup welcomes new participants from across the Atlantic, reflecting a reputation that has long extended well beyond Europe. The format is that of a large extended family: competitive on the water, genuine in its connections ashore.
On display throughout the event: two Solaris Power models, a Solaris 60 Coupé and a 44 Open, representing Solaris Yachts' journey towards a broader offering without compromise on the build quality that has made the Friulian shipyard of Aquilia a reference in the international sailing world.
The Solaris Cup brings together technical partners who share a common history and a clear vision with the shipyard, and who have been part of the Solaris world for years — now an integral element of a shared technical ecosystem. Alongside them, lifestyle partners spanning nautical equipment, fine watchmaking, technical outerwear and high-end audio, reflecting the sensibilities and tastes of those who choose a Solaris.
The on-shore programme features international-level entertainment, designed to complement the destination and offer owners, guests, and crews an experience that extends well beyond racing.
