October 25 – November 1, 2025
This milestone edition of Greece’s most iconic sailing celebration will set sail from Alimos Marina, Athens, on October 25, 2025, marking the beginning of a weeklong journey through the Saronic and Argolic Gulf.
For fifteen consecutive years, the Catamarans Cup has brought together sailors from more than fifteen countries, combining friendly competition, community spirit, and authentic Greek hospitality. It’s a regatta where every day on the water ends with celebration ashore - from lively dockside gatherings and themed parties to the much-anticipated awards night that closes the week in style.
A Week of Racing, Celebration & Connection
This year’s route takes the fleet through a series of Greece’s most charming coastal destinations:
Athens → Poros → Porto Heli → Paralio Astros → Nafplio.
Each stop offers its own flavor - scenic harbors, local delicacies, and welcoming island culture allowing crews to experience Greece beyond the summer crowds.
The week begins with registration and a festive opening dinner in Athens, followed by daily race legs that blend excitement with relaxation. From the Cook Off! culinary competition in Poros to the legendary theme night in Porto Heli and the grand finale in Nafplio, every evening brings a new opportunity to connect, celebrate, and create memories.
The Catamarans Cup remains true to its unique character: part regatta, part floating festival, an event where competition meets camaraderie.

The Fleet & the Istion Experience
As organizers and fleet providers, Istion Yachting curates a lineup of Lagoon, Bali, and Leopard catamarans that combine performance with comfort and style.
Every yacht is carefully prepared by our technical and logistics teams to ensure the highest standards of safety and readiness. From the moment crews step aboard in Athens to their final sail into Nafplio, they are supported by Istion’s signature blend of professionalism, warmth, and precision.
For us, the Catamarans Cup isn’t just an event - it’s an expression of our philosophy: to create meaningful experiences through sailing, connection, and discovery.
Powered by Passion & Partnerships
The success of the Catamarans Cup is built on strong collaborations and shared passion.
We proudly continue our long-standing partnerships with Lagoon Catamarans and Excess Catamarans, whose support as grand sponsors has been essential in shaping the event’s identity.
Equally invaluable is the contribution of the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) and the municipalities of Poros, Ermionida, N. Kynouria, and Nafplion, whose involvement highlights our collective commitment to promoting Greece as a premier sailing destination all year round.
Fifteen Years of Shared Horizons
Since its first edition in 2010, the Catamarans Cup has grown into an international sailing community, uniting professionals, families, and first-time sailors under a shared love for the sea.
As we celebrate this fifteenth year, we honor the same values that inspired the very first race: a passion for sailing, genuine friendship, and the joy of adventure.
We look forward to welcoming participants old and new for another unforgettable week of wind, waves, and celebration.
Fair winds, and see you on the start line.
- The Istion Yachting Team
