As a media partner, we attended the presentation of the eighth edition of the Venice Hospitality Challenge 2021 which took place at the Torre Nuova dell’Arsenale in the context of the Venice Boat Show.

This eighth edition of the famous regatta, the one and only sailing competition that takes place in the heart of the city, is part of the celebrations for the 1600 years of the long and significant past of the Serenissima that has crossed the ages enriching itself with unparalleled history, art and traditions.

The regatta, reserved only for maxi yachts at the invitation of the Yacht Club Venezia, will take place on Saturday 16 October. An opportunity not to be missed for the public and fans who will be able to admire famous skippers fighting a few meters from the banks to compete for the coveted “Doge’s Hat” which has become the symbol of the event.

The last edition of the Venice Hospitality Challenge ended with the Overall and Class 1 victory of Portopiccolo Prosecco Doc – Hilton Molino Stucky, skipper Claudio Demartis and helmed by Stefano Cherin.
