World premiere of the YYachts Cup

A fleet of nine yachts will participate at the first YYachts Cup ever. The event is part of the Superyacht Cup Richard Mille from 24 to 27 June in Mallorca.

The Superyacht Cup Richard Mille is Europe’s longest running superyacht regatta. This year it celebrates its 30th anniversary from 24 to 27 June at the prestigous and brand new Club de Mar in Palma de Mallorca. 24 yachts have confirmed their participation, with a waiting list open.

A key element of this year’s Superyacht Cup Richard Mille will be the integrated YYachts Cup. The 30th edition of the regatta and YYachts’ 10-year anniversary provide the perfect occasion for this special highlight. The German shipyard will field a fleet of nine yachts and will have its own start within the Superyacht Cup. For the YYachts Cup, five Y7s, three Y8s, and one Y9 have already registered. This means that almost the entire YYachts range will be represented in Palma from 24–27 June. 

YYachts founder Michael Schmidt sailed already twice at the Superyacht Cup Richard Mille on two different Y8s and likes to look back. “It was a truly special experience,” Schmidt reflects. “What makes this event stand out is not just the sailing, but the unique atmosphere it creates. With the YYachts Cup we are bringing family and friends together, both on the water and ashore. It’s about sharing unforgettable moments. That’s what inspired me to encourage some of our clients to join this year, and the response has been incredible.”

Yachts’ yachts are perfectly suited for regatta sailing off Mallorca, an island where also YYachts’ design office is located and where many YYachts owners have their yacht berthed. “The island is somehow a second home for YYachts. That’s why we are also supporting the Cup and its organizers“, Michael Schmidt comments.

 YYachts stands for the pure sailing experience in its most elegant and modern form. Our luxurious carbon sailing yachts embody the essence of sailing: lightness, speed, and minimalist design combine to create an unparalleled experience on the water. Each of our yachts is a masterpiece, focused on what truly matters — reduced, technically refined, and uncompromisingly luxurious.

With more than 50 years of experience in boatbuilding and a passion for continually redefining sailing, we offer yachts ranging from 20 to 30 metres in length. These yachts impress not only with their aesthetic design, but also with technical innovation and sustainability. At YYachts, cutting-edge technology, award-winning design, and craftsmanship merge to create truly exceptional sailing yachts.

The entry list for the YYachts Cup is currently closed, but interested owners can still join a waiting list.
