This glittering event, now in its sixth consecutive year, took place over the long weekend of June 30th to July 3rd. Over 70 vessels participated this year, watched by crowds of visitors.
The Yacht Club of Greece once again gave us a spectacular weekend, featuring races for classic yachts and other traditional boats. It is easy to see why the Spetses Regatta is now the most popular race of its kind in Greece, and one of the most important in the Mediterranean.
The Regatta, sponsored by the Municipality of Spetses, with the support of the Spetses Yachting Club and the Poseidonion Grand Hotel, was throughout the duration a true celebration of sailing.
It is worth noting that for the first time the awards ceremony was held at the Museum of Bouboulina, in a gesture of respect towards Spetses’ illustrious nautical history.
