The 2026 edition of the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda with the support of title sponsor Giorgio Armani — now in its fifth consecutive year — welcomed a total fleet of 17 sailing superyachts.
The sailing experience to be enjoyed in La Maddalena channel, remains one of the finest in the world. Tactically and navigationally demanding, varied, beautiful, and reliably breezy!

The Swan 115 Moat (a SYRA member) and the Southern Wind 96 Liberty Squared, winners of the Blue and White classes respectively, have had their names inscribed on the Silver Jubilee Cup.
Second place in the Blue class went to the SW 108 Gelliceaux. Third place went to the Vitters-built Inoui, and fourth to the 39-metre Vitters-built Cervo, sailing at the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta for the first time.
The owner of Moat commented: “I thank Giorgio Armani for their support of the regatta, the YCCS — of which I am a member and which I love deeply — for their organisation, and all the competitors who return every year regardless of who wins. This is a truly unique regatta, for the spirit that defines it and for the extraordinary place in which it is held.”

In the White class, second place overall went to SYRA-member Nostromo (with a victory for them in the Corinthian Class), followed by Sørvind by Giorgio Armani in third.
The Southern Wind Trophy, reserved for boats from the yard and competed for as part of the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta, went to the SW 96 Liberty Squared, followed by Gelliceaux and Kalantis, both SW 108s. There was also great enthusiasm among the Southern Wind Rendez-vous participants, who enjoyed a relaxed sail along the same course as the regatta.
