TROPHÉE BAILLI DE SUFFREN
18 June - 2 July 2026
A Timeless Odyssey Across the Mediterranean
Ah, the Trophée Bailli de Suffren, a Jewel in the Crown of Classic Yacht Racing!
In the world of sailing, few events capture the essence of tradition and adventure like the Trophée Bailli de Suffren. Named after the revered 18th-century French Admiral Bailli de Suffren, this regatta weaves a rich tapestry of history with every nautical mile.
Participants in the Bailli de Suffren find themselves retracing the routes of ancient mariners. From the glamorous shores of Saint-Tropez to the rugged coastlines of Sardinia and onwards to the historic ports of Bizerte and Malta, each leg of the regatta celebrates the Mediterranean’s unparalleled beauty.
The journey through the regatta is also a cultural odyssey. Every port of call offers a chance to immerse oneself in the rich tapestry of Mediterranean culture, history, and cuisine. However, the true essence of the Trophée Bailli de Suffren lies in the spirit of its participants – a fraternity of sailors bound by their love for the sea, the wind, and the timeless beauty of their vessels. Onboard, skill, teamwork, and the thrill of the race merge with moments of serene connection to the vast, blue expanse.
A Brief Overview: What Is the Trophée Bailli de Suffren?
The Trophée Bailli de Suffren, a prestigious sailing event, originated as a tribute to Pierre André de Suffren, also known as the Bailli de Suffren. He was a celebrated 18th-century French naval commander and a Knight of Malta, renowned for his bravery and strategic prowess in naval battles during the American Revolutionary War and the Anglo-French War.
The regatta was conceived to honour his legacy and maritime heritage, blending the spirit of traditional sailing with the celebration of Mediterranean history and culture. It retraces a route reminiscent of the historic sea voyages that Suffren would have undertaken, connecting iconic Mediterranean ports and showcasing the beauty and challenges of sea navigation in the style of bygone eras. The event emphasizes the values of seamanship, skill, and the timeless traditions of the sea, all of which are intrinsic to the legacy of the Bailli de Suffren.

Embark on a Journey Through Time and Sea: The Itinerary of the Trophée Bailli de Suffren
The Trophée Bailli de Suffren is a classic offshore sailing regatta that connects competition with maritime tradition. Following a historic route across the Mediterranean, the fleet sails from Saint-Tropez to Malta, linking ports, passages, and cultures shaped by centuries of seafaring.
This itinerary outlines the rhythm of the regatta day by day — from preparation and departure to offshore passages, landfalls, and final arrival. It traces a journey defined not only by distance, but by changing conditions at sea, shared routines on board, and moments of quiet ashore.
Rather than a fixed programme, the Trophée Bailli de Suffren unfolds as a continuous passage. What follows is a chronological account of the route, offering context to each stage of the voyage and the places that mark its course across the Mediterranean.

Morning Arrival at the Marina
At the marina, people arrive gradually. There is no fixed moment of arrival. The yachts are already alongside, crews moving between deck and quay. Boarding happens without urgency. Bags are stowed, greetings exchanged. A few final conversations take place ashore before attention turns to the yacht itself.
Under Sail
Once everyone is on board, the crew gathers the group for a short briefing. Safety and life on board are explained in clear terms. Outside the harbour, the sails are set. The first stretch under sail is unhurried. It allows time to observe, to listen, and to become familiar with the yacht and its rhythm.
Owners’ Dinner: An Evening with Friends
The day concludes with the Owners’ Dinner in Saint-Tropez. It is a chance to sit together, exchange impressions, and meet the people who will share the coming days at sea. The evening remains informal. It is a quiet end to the first full day on board.

At 08:30, skippers and crews gather at the SNST Club House for the daily briefing. Weather, course options, and safety considerations are reviewed. Bonifacio is set as the first destination of the Bailli de Suffren. The official ceremonies at 10:30 mark the start of the offshore leg.
Leaving the Coast Behind
At 12:30, the fleet leaves Saint-Tropez and heads south. Once clear of the coast, the yachts settle into offshore mode. The rhythm on board changes. Watches are organised, sails adjusted, and the first miles fall away steadily.
Through the Night
As daylight fades, the passage continues. The yachts move through the night, guided by instruments, experience, and the quiet routines of offshore sailing. The hours after sunset are unhurried and demanding in equal measure. Here, the Bailli de Suffren reveals its character — a long stretch at sea, with Bonifacio ahead.

21 - 22 June
Landfall in Bonifacio
After the offshore passage, the yachts reach Bonifacio across Sunday and Monday. Arrival times differ from boat to boat, depending on weather and conditions encountered at sea. The transition from offshore sailing to harbour life happens gradually. Sails are secured, equipment is checked, and crews settle back into a slower pace alongside.
Time Ashore
No formal programme is planned during the harbour stay. The time in Bonifacio is deliberately unstructured. Crews use the pause to rest, recover, and attend to the yacht. Some remain close to the harbour, others take time ashore.
Closing the First Leg
This period marks the close of the first offshore leg. It allows space between passages, without formal events or obligations. Bonifacio serves as a natural pause in the rhythm of the regatta — a place to regroup before attention turns to the next stage.

23 - 24 June
Morning Briefing and Start
On 23 June, the day begins with the skippers’ briefing at 09:00 in Bonifacio. Weather patterns, routing along the Sardinian coast, and the demands of the longest offshore leg are reviewed. The stage ahead requires careful planning and a measured approach. At 11:00, the fleet leaves Bonifacio. Once clear of the strait, the yachts turn south, setting course along the eastern coast of Sardinia.
Along the Sardinian Coast
Throughout the afternoon, the yachts make steady progress south. The Sardinian coastline remains within reach, providing reference as each crew establishes its rhythm. This part of the leg allows for steady sailing and adjustment to the conditions. Watches are organised, sails are trimmed, and the long passage towards Sicily takes shape mile by mile.
Sailing into the Evening
By the time daylight fades, several hours of sailing lie behind the fleet. At a typical offshore speed of around 5–7 knots, approximately 70 nautical miles are covered before nightfall. As darkness sets in, the yachts are expected to be off Capo Comino, continuing south with the Sardinian coast in sight. Through the night, the fleet holds a steady course along the shoreline. Around sunrise, the southern tip of Sardinia comes into reach, marking the point where the course gradually turns south-east towards the western coast of Sicily.

One by one, the yachts come alongside. Sails are stowed, lines are secured, and crews step ashore after the long passage to Sicily.
Time Ashore
No official programme is scheduled for the remainder of Thursday. The time ashore is left open. Crews use the hours to rest and reconnect with life on land. Trapani offers a calm setting for this pause — understated, local, and largely untouched by large crowds. The harbour and town provide space to slow down after the long passage.
A Day of Rest in Trapani
Friday is reserved as a full rest day. There is no sailing and no official programme. Trapani reveals itself at an unhurried pace. Fishing boats share the harbour with working vessels, and daily life follows its own rhythm. The town encourages time together — in small restaurants, along the harbour, or in the evening air — offering a natural setting for recovery and easy company.

Saturday
27 June
Preparing for a Short Leg
The morning in Trapani is marked by the briefing at 09:00. Local wind patterns, currents, and the confined nature of the course shape the briefing. At 11:00, the fleet leaves Trapani. The course leads west towards Marettimo, one of the Egadi Islands, visible ahead across open water.
Crossing to Marettimo
The passage to Marettimo is short and focused. At around 20 nautical miles, the fleet stays close throughout the leg. The emphasis moves away from long-distance endurance and towards tactical awareness, timing, and decision-making.
At Anchor off Marettimo
By early afternoon, the yachts reach Marettimo. Mooring or anchoring takes place off the island, depending on conditions.
The island remains quiet and largely unchanged. With no harbour formalities or official programme, the evening is spent at anchor. Crews settle in, share the calm, and enjoy a night at sea under shelter, framed by the stillness of the island.

Start of the Final Stage
At 11:00, the fleet starts the final stage of the Bailli de Suffren. The course leads south-east, away from the Egadi Islands and towards Malta. The opening miles are sailed in close proximity, with attention on positioning and clean air. Early decisions begin to shape the race, as crews work to establish clear lanes and a consistent pace for the offshore leg ahead.
Racing Along Sicily
Throughout the afternoon, the fleet races south along the western coast of Sicily. The coastline shapes choices in routing and sail selection, keeping the competition tight. Boats remain within sight of one another as the day unfolds. Attention turns to consistency, pressure, and timing, with the race continuing steadily beyond the hours of daylight.

Offshore Racing Continues
Following the start of the final stage, the fleet remains at sea through Monday and potentially into Tuesday. Progress towards Malta is shaped by wind, sea state, and the individual pace of each yacht. Spacing between yachts evolves gradually as crews manage watches, sail plans, and pressure with care, aware that small gains or losses can carry through to the finish.
Arrival and Classification in Valletta
The arrival window extends through to Wednesday, 1 July. Yachts make landfall in Valletta at different times, reflecting the varied conditions and strategies encountered along the final miles. Each arrival marks the completion of the last offshore leg. As yachts come alongside, times are recorded and classifications confirmed, formally closing the competitive part of the Bailli de Suffren.
Harbour Stay and Review
After crossing the finish line, the fleet settles into the harbour in Valletta. Results are confirmed, classifications reviewed, and passages discussed within crews. The harbour becomes a place for quiet debriefing rather than activity. With berths secured until Friday, 3 July, at 12:00, there is time to recover, reflect, and bring the regatta to a close without haste.

Arrival in Valletta
Wednesday remains part of the arrival window. Some yachts are already alongside, while others reach Valletta during the day, their timing shaped entirely by conditions at sea.
Each arrival completes the final offshore leg. As yachts enter the harbour, sails are stowed and lines secured, bringing the last miles of the Bailli de Suffren to a close in a measured and unforced way.
A Day to Be Ashore
For those already in port, the day is spent ashore. With no sailing planned and no fixed programme, attention turns to the city itself. Valletta is compact and layered. Walking through the old town reveals Baroque façades, narrow streets, and public buildings shaped by centuries of maritime history. Some visit the Grandmaster’s Palace; others pause in the Upper Barrakka Gardens, where the view opens across the Grand Harbour.
The Final Evening
As the day draws to a close, the crews come together one last time in Valletta. The focus is on shared experience rather than programme. Attention briefly turns to the following day, when the prize-giving will formally conclude the regatta before departures begin.

Embark on a Journey of Discovery
The Trophée Bailli de Suffren - A Nautical Odyssey Across the Mediterranean
In the historic harbour of Saint-Tropez, the Trophée Bailli de Suffren begins. The regatta is dedicated to Pierre-André de Suffren, one of France’s most respected naval officers of the eighteenth century, born in Saint-Tropez and a Bailli of the Order of Malta.
From Saint-Tropez, the fleet heads south to Bonifacio, at the southern tip of Corsica. The approach through its narrow entrance beneath high limestone cliffs offers a striking first landfall after the opening offshore passage.
The route then continues across open water to Trapani on the west coast of Sicily. As a working harbour with a long maritime tradition, Trapani provides a calm stop after the long crossing.
A short and tactical leg follows to Marettimo, one of the Egadi Islands. With its quiet character and sheltered anchorage, the island offers a clear change of pace and forms the final stop before the last offshore passage.
The regatta concludes in Valletta, Malta. Entering the Grand Harbour marks the completion of the route and brings the fleet to a city closely linked to the Order of Malta. Valletta provides the setting for the final classifications and the closing of the competitive programme.
Discover the route step by step in the sections below. Each destination reveals its own atmosphere and role within the regatta – from the first departure in Saint-Tropez to the final arrival in Valletta.
Saint-Tropez, Côte d'Azur
The Nautical Jewel of the French Riviera
Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez: A Riviera Gem
Nestled on the sun-drenched French Riviera, Saint-Tropez is not just a glamorous coastal town; it’s a sailing haven where the heart of the Mediterranean beats to the rhythm of waves and history. As the starting point of the esteemed Bailli de Suffren regatta, it stands as a beacon for sailors and sea lovers from around the globe.
The Transformation of a Fishing Village
Once a humble fishing village, Saint-Tropez has transformed into a symbol of luxury and nautical prestige. Its cobblestone lanes, lined with quaint cafés and boutiques, lead to a vibrant marina brimming with sleek yachts and classic sailboats. Here, the air is perfumed with the salty breeze and resonates with echoes of maritime adventures.
Cultural Richness and Vibrant Nightlife
Beyond its maritime allure, Saint-Tropez boasts a rich cultural tapestry. The town’s history is depicted in its iconic citadel, while its artistic side shines in museums that pay homage to painters like Matisse and Picasso, who found inspiration in its light and landscape. As the sun sets, the town comes alive with unmatched energy, offering elegant dining and lively beach clubs.
Bonifacio, Corsica
THE GATEWAY OF SOUTHERN CORSICA
Bonifacio
A Harbour Carved into the Cliffs
Set at the southern tip of Corsica, Bonifacio offers one of the most memorable arrivals in the Mediterranean. The town rises high above the sea on white limestone cliffs, while the harbour lies hidden deep inside a narrow, fjord-like inlet. For anyone approaching Bonifacio from the water, the entrance between the cliffs is a powerful and unforgettable moment — a natural spectacle that leaves a lasting impression long before the lines are made fast.
A Natural Fortress by the Sea
For centuries, Bonifacio’s geography has shaped its role as a strategic harbour. The steep cliffs and narrow entrance offered protection from wind and conflict alike, making the port a natural stronghold between Corsica and Sardinia. From the water, the contrast is striking: calm, protected moorings below and a compact historic town perched high above, connected by winding streets and steep stairways.
History, Quiet Streets and Island Life
Unlike larger Mediterranean ports, Bonifacio retains a distinctly calm and authentic character. Life unfolds at a slower pace along the quays and in the small squares of the old town. Simple restaurants, local produce and Corsican specialities reflect the island’s strong culinary traditions. For visiting crews, Bonifacio offers more than a stopover — it provides a genuine pause between offshore stages, shaped by landscape, history and everyday island life.
Trapani, Sicily
A Harbour Between Two Seas
Trapani
A Coastal Town Shaped by the Sea
Set on a narrow peninsula on Sicily’s western coast, Trapani lies between two stretches of water, with the Egadi Islands just offshore and Mount Erice rising above the town. This geographical position has shaped Trapani’s character for centuries, making it a natural point of departure and arrival for sailors, traders and travellers moving through the central Mediterranean.
A Living Working Harbour
The harbour of Trapani remains firmly rooted in everyday maritime activity. Fishing boats return in the early morning, ferries connect the mainland with the nearby islands, and service vessels move steadily through the port. Alongside this working rhythm, the town continues its long tradition of salt production in the surrounding salt pans, where shallow basins and windmills still define the coastal landscape.
Everyday Life Along the Waterfront
Away from the quays, narrow streets lead through the historic centre, opening onto small squares, churches and family-run shops. Life follows a simple and unhurried rhythm, shaped by local routines rather than seasonal tourism. Evenings are spent in neighbourhood restaurants, on shaded terraces or along the waterfront promenade.
Marettimo, Egadi Islands
An Island Apart
Marettimo
A Remote Outpost in the Egadi Islands
Marettimo lies at the western edge of the Egadi archipelago, further from the Sicilian mainland than its neighbouring islands. Steep limestone hills rise directly from the sea, shaping a coastline defined by small coves, sea caves and clear, open water. The island has no large harbour infrastructure and no resort developments. Its scale is small, its profile unmistakable, and its connection to the sea immediate and constant.
A Place Shaped by Fishing and the Coast
For generations, life on Marettimo has centred on fishing and the surrounding waters. Small boats line the quays, nets are repaired in the open air and daily routines still follow the rhythm of the sea. The island’s protected marine environment has helped preserve both its coastline and its traditional way of life, giving Marettimo a character that feels quietly resilient and unchanged.
A Slower, Simpler Island Rhythm
The village consists of only a few streets, a handful of cafés and family-run restaurants, and a small waterfront promenade. With no large roads and little traffic, movement on the island remains slow and informal. Evenings are unhurried, often spent outdoors, framed by fading light and open water.
Valetta, Malta
Malta's Timeless Harbor Gem
Valetta
Valletta: Malta’s Historic Capital
Valletta, Malta’s capital city, is the grand finale of the Trophée Bailli de Suffren. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its stunning baroque architecture and deep-rooted history, offers a majestic conclusion to the regatta’s Mediterranean competition.
A Tapestry of Time and Culture
Steeped in history, Valletta is a living museum. Its streets, lined with ancient buildings and fortifications, tell stories of knights, battles, and bygone eras. The city’s strategic location has made it a cultural crossroads over the centuries, resulting in a rich blend of artistic and architectural heritage that captures the essence of the Mediterranean.
A Vibrant and Picturesque Setting
Beyond its historical allure, Valletta is vibrant and picturesque. Its elevated position offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean and the surrounding islands. The city’s numerous gardens, churches, and squares provide tranquil escapes amidst the urban landscape. With its delightful cafés, exquisite dining experiences, and lively atmosphere, Valletta is not just the endpoint of a race but a celebration of Malta’s spirit and charm.
