The fifth edition of the Venice Hospitality Challenge presented at the Ca’ Sagredo Hôtel in Venice. This year the charm of the great sailing and of the hotel excellence, famous all over the world under the sign of this regatta, is a real Grand Prix of the City of Venice since it is the only one that is disputed in the internal waters of a city.
A winning formula that brings together sport, lifestyle and luxury in an extraordinary event that will see twelve Maxi Yachts taking part who have signed unforgettable pages in the history of sailing combined with as many famous companies of the high Venetian hôtellerie. The teams, led by internationally renowned skippers, will compete on the race course to compete for the Doge’s hat, created specifically for the Venice Hospitality Challenge 2018 by the historic Murano glassworks F. B. Signoretti.
