The Nations League – Swan One Design Worlds 2025

A Celebration of Elegance, Precision and Mediterranean Grandeur

Porto Cervo, Sardinia – 17–21 June 2025

As the Costa Smeralda welcomes early summer, a graceful ballet of sails returns to its crystalline waters. From 17 to 21 June 2025, Porto Cervo will host one of the most refined regattas on the international calendar: The Nations League – Swan One Design Worlds, orchestrated by the prestigious Yacht Club Costa Smeralda.

More than a sailing competition, this event is a declaration of style, mastery, and Mediterranean spirit, a showcase of performance, heritage and understated luxury that resonates with the very soul of Porto Cervo.

Where Sailing Becomes an Art Form

The Swan One Design Worlds are reserved for a unique fleet: the ClubSwan yachts, ranging from the agile 36 to the refined ClubSwan 50. Representing nations across the globe, the teams will compete not only for podium finishes, but also for the coveted Nations League trophy: a distinction that rewards not just excellence, but unity.

Each race is a study in precision. Each yacht, a masterpiece of engineering and elegance. Whether viewed from a private terrace or the iconic coastline, the regatta becomes a living installation: fluid lines, bright sails, and the quiet hum of Mediterranean wind shaping a spectacle of grace and control.

The Spirit of Porto Cervo

Founded in 1967 by His Highness the Aga Khan, the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda remains an institution of prestige and taste. Its facilities blend tradition and modernity with an effortless charm, drawing a community of seasoned sailors, entrepreneurs, aesthetes and visionaries.

Evenings are punctuated by private receptions on the Piazza Azzurra, exclusive dinners, and spontaneous encounters, where champagne toasts meet sea breeze, and conversations flow as easily as the tide.

Live the Regatta, from Your Own Perspective

For those who wish to experience this world not just as a spectator, but as a guest of the coast, Barnes Porto Cervo offers a selection of exquisite villas tailored to this moment.

Imagine waking to the rustle of sails in the bay. Hosting sunset aperitivi by the pool as yachts return from the course. Or sharing a candlelit dinner on a panoramic terrace, watching the last light catch on masts swaying in golden silence.

These are not just properties. They are vantage points from which to witness beauty in motion and to anchor yourself, even briefly, in a rhythm of life that knows no hurry, only harmony.
