24 June 2025 • Written by Lucy Dunn

On Friday 13 June as part of the Cyclades Cup regatta festivities, BOAT International brought together members of the Owners’ Club and VIP guests for a relaxed, Cycladic-style dinner.

Guests began the evening with welcome drinks along the water’s edge in front of Avra Restaurant before having dinner at the charming Pantelis Seafood Restaurant, a classic Greek taverna tucked in the heart of Antiparos.

The evening was made all the more special with a celebration Ilia Rigas’ birthday - the Cyclades Cup organiser and owner of 50-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Almyra II. Guests raised their glasses in a toast to Rigas, celebrating with drinks and slices of birthday cake.
