21 April 2025 - Pula, Croatia - Celebrating Earth Day under full sails, the 21st BRIONI CUP invites sailors to a stunning circular route around Brijuni National Park in Croatia. On Saturday, April 26, majestic sailboats will set sail from Pula harbour, embarking on a 20-nautical-mile course around the national park Brijuni and back.
This sporting and recreational event attracts both experienced sailors and passionate enthusiasts. The race starts at 11:00 AM, with a time limit set at 6:00 PM, and can be followed live via regate.com.hr.
“Sailing promotes a healthy and sustainable way of life at sea, sharpens maritime skills, and most importantly, relies solely on wind power. Regattas are not just about competition, they’re about progress, camaraderie, and celebrating the sailing spirit,” say organizers from JK Delfin.
The Brioni Cup is the third regatta of the season, counting towards the Argonaut Cup – the Istrian keelboat league. The first two were part of the Full Moon Sailing Spectacle series.
MIĆI KUP – Kids’ Sailing Promo
In the spirit of community and environmental awareness, a special event for children, the MIĆI KUP, will take place on Friday, April 25 from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. Children will have the opportunity to experience the magic of sailing on large keelboats, under the guidance of experienced skippers.
Parents, grandparents, kindergartens, schools, and institutions that support children with special needs are warmly invited to join us in Pula harbor for this free activity. Sailors will bring their boats into the harbor and offer kids a hands-on sailing experience. Larger groups should announce their participation by emailing info@jkdelfin.hr. Parents bringing children should arrive 30 minutes early for proper crew assignment.
Full Moon Ceremony & More
Also on Friday, starting at 9:00 PM, we will host the awards ceremony for the 4th Full Moon Sailing Spectacle, followed by a welcome gathering at the “Pula under Sail” exhibition space, located at Flaciusova 18. A perfect warm-up for Saturday’s regatta.
