The 34th edition of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, one of the foremost events in the annual international yachting calendar, takes place from 8-14 September. An impressive fleet of the world’s most striking and powerful maxi yachts will race for class honours on Sardinia’s magnificent Maddalena Archipelago, a nautical environment without equal. The Maxi Rolex Cup unites two longstanding partners, the event organizer, the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, and Rolex, Title Sponsor since 1985. This pivotal relationship has been at the heart of the event’s success and continued evolution. For maxi yacht owners and sailors alike, the event holds a magnetic appeal and over five days of intense racing, the skill, precision and teamwork of highly prepared professional crews will be put to the test.

Rolex has always associated with activities driven by passion, excellence, precision and team spirit. The Swiss watchmaker naturally gravitated towards the elite world of yachting six decades ago and the brand’s enduring partnership now encompasses the most prestigious clubs, races and regattas, as well as towering figures in the sport, including ground-breaking round-the-world yachtsman Sir Francis Chichester and the most successful Olympic sailor of all time, Sir Ben Ainslie. Today, Rolex is Title Sponsor of 15 major international events – from leading offshore races such as the annual Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and the biennial Rolex Fastnet Race, to grand prix competition at the Rolex TP52 World Championship and spectacular gatherings at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the Rolex Swan Cup. It also supports the exciting SailGP global championship in which national teams race identical supercharged F50 catamarans on some of the world’s most famous harbours. Rolex’s partnerships with the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Royal Ocean Racing Club, Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Yacht Club Italiano, New York Yacht Club and Royal Yacht Squadron, among others, are the foundation of its enduring relationship with this dynamic sport.
