A fleet of seven Southern Wind yachts is ready to roll at the XVIII edition of the Southern Wind Rendezvous, held within the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta, one of the most exclusive and highly anticipated events of the Mediterranean regatta season, organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.
The Southern Wind Rendezvous, dedicated exclusively to Southern Wind yachts, is an important part of the GASR, bringing a refined selection of the most elegant performance superyachts to the enchanting waters of the Maddalena Archipelago for some fierce yet friendly sailing.
Our popular Rendezvous format offers informal fleet sailing with family and friends, spiced by an inevitable element of cheerful competition. To unwind, there are lunches at anchor, an exclusive dinner in the picturesque village of San Pantaleo and glamorous moments offered by Giorgio Armani.
And now, it's time to introduce the protagonists of this long-awaited event.
