XXII Copa del Rey Classic Boat Regatta in Menorca: Experience the Race from a Private Yacht
Every summer, the harbour of Mahón becomes one of the Mediterranean’s most elegant and spectacular nautical settings thanks to the Copa del Rey de Barcos de Época, one of Europe’s most prestigious classic sailing events.
The 22nd edition of this regatta brings together true jewels of historic sailing: stunning classic yachts and beautifully restored vintage boats competing along the Menorcan coastline, creating a unique spectacle at sea.
At Yacht Charter Menorca, we offer our clients the opportunity to enjoy this event in the most exclusive way possible: chartering a private yacht to follow the regatta from the sea, enjoying lunch on board and ending the afternoon swimming in one of Menorca’s beautiful coves.
A Unique Nautical Spectacle in the Mediterranean
The Copa del Rey Classic Boat Regatta has become a must-attend event for sailing enthusiasts, sea lovers and those seeking Mediterranean elegance. For several days, historic yachts from different countries sail through Menorca’s waters, offering spectacular views along the harbour of Mahón and the island’s coastline.
The regatta features true floating works of art:
- Century-old classic sailing yachts
- Restored historic yachts
- Traditional wooden boats
- Legendary classic racing vessels
Watching these magnificent yachts sailing under full canvas is an elegant and unforgettable experience deeply connected to Mediterranean maritime tradition.
The Best Way to Watch the Regatta: From a Private Yacht
Although the regatta can also be enjoyed from land, experiencing it from the sea completely transforms the atmosphere.
With Yacht Charter Menorca, our guests can charter a private yacht and position themselves in the best viewing areas to enjoy the races from an exclusive and privileged perspective.
From the deck, you can:
- Watch the race starts and sailing manoeuvres
- Cruise alongside the regatta course

This experience is ideal both for sailing enthusiasts and for guests simply looking to enjoy a sophisticated and unique day in the Mediterranean.
Lunch on Board While Watching the Regatta
One of the greatest pleasures of experiencing the Copa del Rey from a private yacht is enjoying the day at a relaxed pace with complete comfort.
While the classic yachts sail along Menorca’s coastline, our guests can enjoy:
- Drinks and aperitifs on board
- Mediterranean lunches
- Champagne and cocktails
- Personalised service
- Music and relaxation on deck
The combination of sailing, gastronomy and an elegant nautical atmosphere makes this one of Menorca’s most exclusive summer experiences.
Ending the Day Anchored in a Paradise Cove
After enjoying the excitement of the regatta, the experience continues by cruising towards some of Menorca’s most beautiful coves to relax and enjoy the island’s crystal-clear waters.
Depending on the weather and route of the day, we can end the experience in spectacular locations such as:
- Calo Blanc
- Punta Prima
- Illa d’en Colom

Anchoring at sunset, swimming in turquoise waters and relaxing on board after a day of classic sailing is the perfect way to end the day.
