The historic Compagnia della Vela regatta returns on October 18, 2026, celebrating its nineteenth edition. The course unfolds in open sea, starting in the waters off the Lido of Venice and concluding with the traditional and spectacular finish in St. Mark’s Basin, sails fully hoisted. This is not just a showcase event, but a demanding race that requires well-defined strategies due to the significant environmental and nautical differences along the route—from open sea to the unique conditions of the Venetian lagoon. The event’s striking visual appeal further strengthens the deep connection between sailing and Venice, highlighting the city’s key role in the Adriatic nautical scene. This year once again confirms the participation of Il Moro di Venezia, brand ambassador of the Venice Boat Show.
