The Voiles de Saint-Tropez and the Régates Royales in Cannes are two of the Mediterranean’s most iconic sailing events, drawing yachtsmen, enthusiasts, and visitors from around the globe.
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez showcases a blend of tradition and innovation. Held annually in late September, this regatta unites classic sailing yachts and state-of-the-art modern vessels in a week-long celebration of maritime excellence. Against the backdrop of Saint-Tropez’s picturesque harbor, the event combines thrilling races with vibrant onshore festivities.
The Régates Royales, held in Cannes just a few weeks earlier, is a homage to the golden age of yachting. Historic yachts from the early 20th century take to the waves, their elegant designs a tribute to the artistry of a bygone era. With the iconic Lérins Islands framing the course, the spectacle is as breathtaking as the craft themselves.
Both events capture the essence of the Riviera: the adventure and a deep appreciation for the sea. For those aboard the luxury sailing boat Trinakria, the experience is unparalleled.
