The Rolex Middle Sea Race is a renowned offshore yacht race held annually in the Mediterranean. Starting and finishing in Malta, the 606-nautical-mile course circles Sicily, navigating through capes, active volcanoes, and shifting wind zones. It’s a dramatic and technically challenging event that attracts a global fleet of professional and Corinthian sailors alike.

The 2025 edition begins on Saturday, 18 October, from Valletta’s Grand Harbour—one of the most visually striking race starts in the sailing world.
