Sailing tradition at its finest
Sailing Splendor on the French Riviera: Les Voiles d'Antibes Returns!
Every year, the French Riviera town of Antibes comes alive for Les Voiles d’Antibes — a vibrant gathering that brings together classic yachts, modern racers, and those who share a passion for the sea. Set against the historic port and the old town’s sunlit walls, it’s one of the Mediterranean’s most cherished sailing events.
Here, elegance meets excitement: century-old yachts line up with contemporary designs, and the blue waters off Cap d’Antibes turn into a stage for precision, teamwork, and beauty under sail. Ashore, the atmosphere is equally captivating, with live music, Provençal flavours, and a friendly, festive spirit that defines Antibes itself.
Les Voiles d’Antibes is more than a regatta — it’s a living celebration of sailing, heritage, and the art of life by the sea.

Can a Regatta Be Sustainable?
We believe it can. For us, sustainability isn’t a slogan – it’s a conscious choice that shapes everything we do, on board and beyond. When you join one of our classic regattas, you’re not just stepping onto a beautiful yacht. You become part of a carefully curated event: powered by the wind, in harmony with nature, and guided by a deep respect for craftsmanship, tradition, and the environment.
Our yachts are not disposable products – they’re living history. Many of them have been sailing for generations. Their survival depends on skilled restoration, continuous maintenance, and thoughtful use. They stand for something rare today: longevity, not fast consumption.
Our commitment to sustainability extends to every part of the regatta experience:
- Our shuttle service is provided with electric vehicles, keeping emissions as low as possible.
- Our catering comes from trusted local producers who can clearly trace the origin of their ingredients and contribute to the local economy.
- We avoid single-use plastics and use reusable, sustainable tableware for all food service.
- Our crew wear is supplied by PAYPER, an Italian brand known for ethical production and quality. Their clothing is made from 100% premium cotton – designed to last long after the event. Learn more here.
Our regattas are not mass events – they are designed with intention. Small groups. Personal connections. A meaningful atmosphere that honours nature, tradition, and the human touch.
We know that not everything is perfect yet – but every conscious step matters.
They may be small steps – but they are intentional. They mark the beginning of a journey where sustainability and quality go hand in hand. Because true experiences do not begin with sacrifice – they begin with a choice to enjoy more mindfully.

Mariska
The Legacy of Mariska
Mariska, a masterpiece of nautical engineering and design, is a living testament to the golden age of yachting. Built in 1908 by the renowned Scottish boatbuilder William Fife III, Mariska is a classic 15-meter racing yacht, a category known for its elegance and speed. Crafted from the finest materials of its time, the yacht embodies a rich history, having graced the seas for over a century. Its sleek lines and gleaming wooden deck hark back to an era where craftsmanship and aesthetic beauty were paramount. Mariska’s journey through the years is a story of resilience and preservation, marked by careful restorations that have kept the yacht not only seaworthy but also competitive in classic yacht regattas.
A Design that Transcends Time
The design of Mariska is a blend of form and function that has stood the test of time. Her hull, constructed from high-quality woods, showcases Fife’s attention to detail and his understanding of the elements that make a yacht both fast and beautiful. The yacht’s overhanging stern and bow, a signature of the 15-meter class, give it an unmistakable silhouette that is both aggressive and graceful. Below deck, Mariska maintains an air of classic charm, with period fixtures and a layout that respects her original design. Modern safety and navigation equipment have been seamlessly integrated to ensure that Mariska remains competitive and safe without compromising her historical integrity.
Mariska in the Modern Era
Today, Mariska is not just a relic of the past but a vibrant participant in the classic sailing circuit. She can be chartered with Noblesse Yachts to compete in some of the most prestigious regattas, where she continues to turn heads and capture hearts. Being aboard Mariska is like stepping back in time, as she cuts through the waves with the same agility and speed that made her a marvel over a century ago. Her presence at events is a celebration of maritime heritage, inspiring awe and admiration from both sailing enthusiasts and the general public. Mariska serves as a floating museum, an educational tool, and a symbol of the enduring allure of classic yachts.
Elegant Legacy
Mariska is the perfect choice for regattas, captivating participants and spectators alike with her timeless design and competitive spirit.
