The Royal Malta Yacht Club (RMYC) announced its return to the beloved offshore haven of Marzamemi as it gears up for the highly anticipated International Yacht Paint Marzamemi Regatta scheduled for May.

Marzamemi being one of the Club’s most loved Sicilian haunts, has long been associated with a weekend of racing, cruising, fun and the simple pleasures of sipping espressos, or mojitos in the piazza.

Scheduled to take place from May 3rd to May 5th, the International Yacht Paints Marzamemi Regatta will consist of two passage races – one to Marzamemi and one to Malta. Past events have shown that this course offers an exciting test of skill and strategy in offshore waters. 

However, the Regatta is not only about racing and the club is welcoming a fleet of cruisers, who wish to join in the fun that such weekends bring with them.  

“We are delighted to return to Marzamemi for the International Yacht Paints Marzamemi Regatta,” said Adrian Gauci Borda, Rear Commodore (Sailing), RMYC . “This event is not just about the races; it’s about celebrating our shared passion for sailing and fostering a sense of community among sailors from across the region. We look forward to welcoming participants for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend of sailing and socializing.”

This year the Club has garnered the support of International Yacht Paints, which has been represented in Malta, since 1996 by Mac Med Group.  Andrew Magri Overend, Group CEO remarked that “ We’re very enthusiastic that International Paints will once again be supporting a local yacht race through the renewal of our partnership with the Royal Malta Yacht Club. This collaboration underscores our commitment to excellence in boat care and celebrates the spirit of sailing, whilst showcasing our dedication to support the community’s passion and skill on the water.”

The Royal Malta Yacht Club will be launching its programme of events in the coming days.
