Events Trofeo SAR Princesa Sofía

We love regattas. It would be a waste if we didn’t take full advantage of all that the Mediterranean Sea offers. So in our waters many nautical events take place, like the SAR Princesa Sofía. It is a dinghy sailing competition held every year in Mallorca. Organised by the Real Club Náutico de Palma, Club Náutico del Arenal and the Club Marítimo San Antonio de la Playa, it is one of the most important events of the competitive sailing calendar in the country. Since its first edition in 1968, this event has retained all of its prestige and garnered great media attention, making this competition one of the most keenly anticipated moments of spring on the island.

Every spring, over a thousand sailors from 53 countries come to Mallorca to participate in a unique event where the best crews of Olympic sailing compete in the hope of victory and receive from H.R.H.Queen Sofia, the trophy that bears her name. A legendary trophy on which are inscribed the winners of the 43 editions held to date. The “Sofía MAPFRE” Trophy, also popularly known as the TROFEO SOFIA MAPFRE ISAF SWC MALLORCA, has become over the years a tradition that is part of social and sporting calendar of Mallorca, that feels it as their own and inalienable. A fact that was reinforced with the participation of members of the Royal Family is a fact of their bond with the race. It is a unique race, almost magical. The Bay of Palma perfect conditions for sailing, together with the warm welcome of the inhabitants of Mallorca, make a competition especially appreciated by those who have ever participated. A race that nobody wants to miss and we all dream to win some day. “The sailors' event”.
