To provide variety, the 44Cup aims to visit new venues each year and the first of two in 2026 will be Puntaldia in Sardinia over 22-26 April.
Located just 20km southeast of Olbia, the 380 berth Marina di Puntaldia is a boutique marina close to Tavolara Marine Park - centred upon the local landmark, the towering wedge-shaped island of Tavolara – and several of Sardinia’s best beaches including Brandinchi, known locally as ‘Tahiti’. Marina di Puntaldia has its own shipyard in Olbia, Nautica di Puntaldia and, in addition to marina facilities, Puntaldia also offers its own luxury resort and residential complex plus a nine hole golf course by the sea, tennis courts, fine dining, exclusive shopping.
Marie-Hélène Polo, CEO of Marina di Puntaldia Srl commented: “We are honoured to host the 44Cup Marina Puntaldia, for one of the most iconic and competitive circuits in international sailing. For the Marina and our new-born Yacht Club, this represents a unique opportunity for us to grow and challenge to deliver an experience of excellence both on the water and ashore.
