This September the VELA Cup makes a stop in Procida. Will you be there?

Procida, from being the capital of culture, is set to become the capital of sailing this year. From Sept. 27-29, the VELA Cup Procida will stop in a breathtaking setting. Full of delicious freshly caught seafood restaurants, churches and museums, with its long sandy beaches, small bays, unforgettable inlets and breathtaking views, Procida is an island where you can winter and take advantage of the boat all year round! The Marina of Procida will welcome an extraordinary variety of boats for the first time: from vintage and classic boats to modern yachts, both sail and motor, as well as racing and cruising yachts. Here’s why you can’t miss it!

VELA Cup Procida is an event for everyone

It will truly be a regatta for everyone. At the VELA Cup Procida there are trials and rankings for all types of boats and prizes for (almost) all participants. On land, the VELA Cup Procida village will offer an unforgettable experience, combining sports, nature and culture. Attractions include a booth with books dedicated to the sea, a space dedicated to seafaring art and much more, to be discovered during the “after race” at the dock, sipping beer and enjoying a “cuoppo” of fried anchovies.
