Inspired by the spirit of the legendary Catamarans Cup, the third edition of the Skradin Cup, proudly hosted by Istion Yachting, promises once again to celebrate the true joy of sailing.
From May 9-16, 2026, sailors from across the globe will gather in Skradin, Croatia, to embark on a week of exhilarating races, breathtaking routes along the Dalmatian Coast, and unforgettable moments both on and off the water.
The regatta will feature two racing classes - monohulls and catamarans - delivering thrilling competition for every type of sailor. Expect postcard-perfect sailing days, lively challenges, and plenty of energy at sea.
But the adventure doesn’t end with the racing. Each evening, crews will come together for vibrant theme parties, local gastronomy, music, and celebrations that capture the warm spirit of camaraderie.
With spectacular sailing grounds, rich culture, and a festive atmosphere, Skradin Cup 2026 is more than a regatta. It’s an experience you’ll carry with you long after the sails are down.
