From May 10–17, the stunning coastline of Croatia played host to the second edition of Skradin Cup, and what a week it was. More than just a regatta, Skradin Cup 2025 brought together sailors, friends, and adventurers for a full-on experience at sea and ashore.
This year’s racecourse combined adrenaline-pumping competition with postcard-perfect destinations like Skradin and Primošten. Crews aboard both sleek catamarans and elegant monohulls pushed their limits across crystal-clear waters, battling winds, currents, and each other for a shot at glory. But what truly set this regatta apart was everything that happened beyond the finish line.
From the very beginning, starting with the Skippers' Meeting, buzzing with anticipation, to the final awards, the atmosphere was electric. Off the water, the event came alive with energy, thanks to a lineup of fun competitions that had everyone laughing, cheering, and bonding in true regatta spirit.
• Show-Off! Competition: Creativity ran wild as crews dressed up and put on hilarious and inventive performances.
• Cook-Off! Competition: The galley turned gourmet, with crews battling it out for the tastiest onboard dishes.
• Shoot-Off! Competition: Cameras clicked as teams captured their best moments for this lighthearted photo challenge.
• Best Crew Style Competition: From matching outfits to coordinated flair, the fashion game was strong on deck!
