For me, one of the most beautiful sailing destinations in the world — Porto Cervo and the breathtaking waters of the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia. 🇮🇹⛵️

And the perfect stage for one of the most spectacular events in sailing: the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup.

You’ll see why in the pictures. From the crystal-clear waters and dramatic coastline of the Maddalena Archipelago to some of the most impressive maxi yachts on the planet, this is sailing at its most beautiful — and its most competitive.

Since 1980, the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup has brought together extraordinary yachts, world-class sailors and passionate owners for a unique combination of performance, innovation, strategy and timeless elegance.

These magnificent yachts, measuring at least 18.3 metres, may be giants on the water, but racing at this level is all about precision. Every manoeuvre, every tactical decision, every sail change and every second can make the difference.

For more than four decades, Rolex and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda have shared a commitment to excellence and the evolution of sailing, creating a regatta that has become a true highlight of the international yachting calendar.

And honestly, when you see these yachts racing through the turquoise waters of Sardinia, surrounded by this incredible landscape, it’s easy to understand what makes this place so special.

The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup — where giants meet the elements, and the pursuit of perfection never stops. ⛵️⌚️

From above, NAEMA looks less like a yacht and more like a piece of sailing history brought back to life — a stunning 40m classic gaff schooner inspired by Alfred Mylne’s legendary 1938 Panda. ⚓️
Built by Graafship and shaped by Hodgdon Yachts, she blends timeless lines, traditional craftsmanship and modern superyacht performance in one unforgettable silhouette.
With her towering masts, vast sail plan and elegant teak decks, NAEMA turns heads wherever she sails — and nowhere more than Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
Seen from a helicopter, she becomes pure geometry, power and poetry on the Mediterranean — a true classic yacht icon.
Heritage meets high-performance sailing — this is NAEMA. ✨

18 frames of pure sailing nostalgia. 🌧️⛵️ Swipe into the rain-soaked world of the 12mR Worlds in Marstrand.

Legendary 12mR yachts, grey skies and classic yacht racing through the breathtaking Swedish archipelago — this is sailing with a timeless soul.

There’s something magical about seeing these iconic yachts under sail: elegant lines, vintage sailing, maritime heritage and the unmistakable spirit of a golden era.

Captured in the rain, between the beautiful islands of Marstrand, these moments could almost have been taken decades ago.

Classic yachts. Real racing. Vintage atmosphere. Timeless beauty.
Some things simply never go out of style.

A true sailing legend in her element. ⛵️✨

What a spectacular sight at the Richard Mille Cup — ADIX under sail.

Born in 1984 as Jessica, this elegant three-masted schooner was designed for adventure from the very beginning.

After crossing the Pacific, her story changed in 1989 when Spanish owner Jaime Botín renamed her ADIX and envisioned something even greater.

A radical rebuild in the UK transformed her into a faster, more powerful yacht, setting new standards in classic sailing performance.

In 2002, ADIX made history by breaking a century-old Transatlantic speed record — a testament to her extraordinary design and performance.

Decades of innovation followed, including a cutting-edge carbon rig upgrade, making her lighter, faster and more efficient than ever.

Having sailed around the world multiple times, from the Caribbean to the Pacific, ADIX has become a true symbol of timeless elegance, innovation and endurance.

Some yachts are beautiful.
Some are fast.
ADIX is both — and a legend in her own right. 🌊

At the bow of VIM — one of my favourite images from the 12mR Worlds in Sweden. ⛵️🌧️

A beautiful moment sailing through the rain, and a great reminder of how special the world of classic sailing can be.

It’s fantastic to see more and more women becoming part of the classic sailing scene and bringing their passion, energy and skills to these legendary yachts.

The future of classic sailing is looking brighter than ever. ❤️

ELENA OF LONDON — a timeless legend reflected in the sea. ✨⛵️

A faithful recreation of the legendary Herreshoff yacht Elena, originally launched in 1910 and designed by the visionary naval architect Nathanael Greene Herreshoff for Morton F. Plant.

Launched in 2009 from Herreshoff’s original plans, ELENA OF LONDON beautifully unites the elegance and spirit of early 20th-century yacht design with modern engineering and safety.

At 55 metres (180 feet), she is more than a racing yacht — she is a living piece of sailing history.

And when her graceful silhouette is mirrored on the water, it almost feels as if time itself has stopped… ✨

A legend above. A legend below.
