The regatta

June 2016 saw another successful instalment of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in Porto Cervo, Sardinia. The 18 sailing superyachts registered for the regatta were joined by 12 Wally class yachts with Saudade, _Grande Orazio _and  Open Season taking the top spots in their respective classes after plenty of competitive racing in the stunning waters around the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.

The Yacht Club Costa Smeralda also provided a beautiful venue for the regatta's glittering social programme. Kicking off with the Welcome Cocktail on the opening night, guests also enjoyed after-race drinks with Pantaenius, the highly anticipated Loro Piana Owners' Dinner with food by Niko Romito and entertainment provided by pianist Dimitiri Naïditch (pictured) and, of course, the sunset beach party at nearby Phi Beach.
