Bali 4.3

The sails are down, but the excitement still lingers. Skradin Cup 2025, our second unforgettable edition, has officially come to an end.

From May 10–17, the stunning coastline of Croatia played host to the second edition of Skradin Cup, and what a week it was. More than just a regatta, Skradin Cup 2025 brought together sailors, friends, and adventurers for a full-on experience at sea and ashore.

This year’s racecourse combined adrenaline-pumping competition with postcard-perfect destinations like Skradin and Primošten. Crews aboard both sleek catamarans and elegant monohulls pushed their limits across crystal-clear waters, battling winds, currents, and each other for a shot at glory. But what truly set this regatta apart was everything that happened beyond the finish line.

From the very beginning, starting with the Skippers' Meeting, buzzing with anticipation, to the final awards, the atmosphere was electric. Off the water, the event came alive with energy, thanks to a lineup of fun competitions that had everyone laughing, cheering, and bonding in true regatta spirit.

• Show-Off! Competition: Creativity ran wild as crews dressed up and put on hilarious and inventive performances.

• Cook-Off! Competition: The galley turned gourmet, with crews battling it out for the tastiest onboard dishes.

• Shoot-Off! Competition: Cameras clicked as teams captured their best moments for this lighthearted photo challenge.

• Best Crew Style Competition: From matching outfits to coordinated flair, the fashion game was strong on deck!

This year’s winners truly shined across all categories, showcasing skill, creativity, and camaraderie:

Each night brought more fun - shared dinners, sunsets in the marina, laughter echoing across the docks. And of course, every winner (of a race or a dance-off!) left with a story worth retelling.

With a strong fleet, a stronger community, and the support of incredible sponsors and partners, Skradin Cup 2025 was a true success. We’re proud of how this regatta is growing, not just in numbers, but in heart.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible crews, passionate participants, and our amazing community of supporters. Your enthusiasm brought every dock, deck, and dinner table to life. From the wind in the sails to the joy in every shared toast, Skradin Cup 2025 proved once again that it's not just about racing - it's about connection.

See you at Skradin Cup 2026! Until then, fair winds and unforgettable memories.

The 14th edition of the Catamarans Cup unfolded with unforgettable moments, perfect sailing conditions, and an extraordinary mix of people from across the globe who came together for a week of fun, racing, and community.

From the vibrant send-off in Alimos Marina to the final celebration under the stars in Poros, this year's event was packed with energy, camaraderie, and that signature Catamarans Cup spirit. With over 30 catamarans taking part and more than 400 participants, the regatta once again proved why it remains a favorite end-of-season highlight.

A Regatta for Everyone
What makes the Catamarans Cup so special is its unique mix: part friendly sailing race, part floating festival. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a first-time charterer, the event offers something for everyone. The races were exciting yet inclusive, allowing guests to feel the thrill of competition without pressure.

Moments That Mattered
Each stop along the Saronic route brought its own character. Hydra dazzled with its car-free charm, Ermioni welcomed us with a Greek-themed night full of dancing and laughter, and Spetses offered unforgettable dockside feasts. Onboard and ashore, every evening was a celebration—of new friendships, shared toasts, and picture-perfect sunsets.

The Spirit of the Cup
Beyond the trophies and timed finishes, it’s the Catamarans Cup family that makes this event stand out. Year after year, returning teams and new crews mix together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that turns strangers into teammates and boats into home.

Looking Ahead
With the 15th edition already on the horizon (October 25 – November 1, 2025), anticipation is building. If 2024 reminded us of anything, it’s that the Catamarans Cup is more than a regatta—it’s a feeling, a community, and a celebration of sailing at its best.

Her layout is unmatched by any other catamaran of her size and her living space is phenomenal, including 5 truly huge totally independent cabins, an impressive sense of space in the saloon and galley, ample lounging space on the flybridge and more roominess than you could ask for dinning and lounging in the vast aft cockpit.

A flybridge with breathtaking dimensions… the largest in its category!
Achieving the perfect blend of space and intimacy, S/Cat ALMA will enchant you and inspire sailing experiences that bring friends or family together for unforgettable moments.
S/Cat ALMA has been carefully designed to create spaces that cater for the most lively social gathering to the most relaxing moments of solitude.

Inspiring social unity with its generous and refined living areas, and epicurean galley that opens onto the saloon, S/Cat ALMA embodies the French way of life that celebrates the philosophy of carpe diem. **In addition, the Chef of the Catamaran, Marina, has won the 2nd place award in the Category A at the 2024 Mediterranean Yacht Show Chef's Competition.**
