XXII Copa del Rey of Classic Yachts / Classic Sailing Menorca

The Copa del Rey of Classic Yachts – Classic Sailing Menorca is regarded as the most significant classic regatta in Spain and one of the most prestigious in the Mediterranean, where the majority of the world's fleet of classic yachts is based. This is not an unfounded or exaggerated claim. The number of participants, the number of represented nations, and the media reach of the regatta in Mahón are unparalleled in the history of similar events in Spain.

The best classic regatta in Spain

24th–30th August 2026 · Mahón, Menorca

Undoubtedly contributing to this is the title "Copa del Rey", which was awarded to the regatta for its first edition in 2003, as well as the loyalty of the participating owners – many of whom openly describe themselves as "in love" with the port of Mahón.

The Copa del Rey de Vela Clásica is the most prestigious regatta for classic yachts in Spain and a fixed date in the international classic calendar. In the natural harbour of Mahón, historic sailing yachts, lovingly restored classics, and elegant "Spirit of Tradition" boats gather.
