Prefer a more leisurely pace? Book Mariska for a private voyage at your convenience and set sail for a destination of your choice, outside the racing calendar.

Yes, you can actively participate in sailing aboard our classic yachts! On the first day, our experienced crew will introduce you to all safety measures and procedures, guiding you throughout the entire regatta event. Take the opportunity to be part of the winning team and showcase your skills! However, participation is entirely optional; you may choose to relax and enjoy the experience without assisting in the yacht’s handling.

This depends on the event. Most events offer between 3 to 6 days of sailing action, while certain regattas, like the Bailli de Suffren, span a considerably longer duration.

With one day of sailing training before the start of the regatta, you can call yourself a true sailor after crossing the finishing line on the final day. Please note that attending the regatta races is never obligatory. If you ever feel like skipping a day of sailing, the choice is entirely yours at any time. We have plenty of activities for you to choose from to ensure your stay is as perfect as possible.

Certainly! If, for any reason, you are unable to attend the entire regatta, you can always choose to attend one or several days of your preference. Please note that availability for single-day participants is limited, so we encourage you to secure your spot as soon as possible.

Mariska, a sailing yacht with a rich history, was designed by the renowned William Fife and commissioned in 1908 by A.K. Stothert, a prominent yachtsman of the early 20th century. Fife, celebrated for his skill in creating both aesthetically magnificent and fast yachts, brought his expertise to Mariska’s design, embodying a blend of maritime history, architectural brilliance, and a legacy that transcends time. The creation of Mariska marked a significant chapter in early 20th-century yacht design, conceived not merely as a racing vessel but as a masterpiece of design and a symbol of ambition. Stothert’s vision was to push the boundaries of yacht engineering, seeking a yacht that excelled in racing while representing the elegance and sophistication of the era.

During a time marked by rapid advancements in yacht design and a burgeoning passion for maritime sports, Mariska stood out as a testament to innovation. Fife’s design incorporated cutting-edge advancements in naval architecture, featuring a sleek hull and an advanced rigging system that showcased the yacht’s efficiency in harnessing wind power. Mariska’s competitive years, spanning from 1908 until World War II, were marked by triumphs and challenges, making her a trendsetter in the golden age of yacht racing. With her speed, agility, and strategic prowess, Mariska became a notable contender, leaving a lasting legacy in the competitive sailing world. Preserving Mariska has involved a meticulous process of several refits, with each restoration reflecting a commitment to maintaining her original glory. The yacht’s continued relevance in the modern sailing world is evident as she participates in regattas, serving as a living legend and an educational tool, inspiring new generations.

Today, Mariska offers unique charter opportunities through Noblesse^®, allowing individuals and corporate entities to experience the magic of classic yachting firsthand. Mariska’s story, evolving with each wave she rides, continues to captivate and inspire, ensuring her legacy sails on for generations to come.
