The Aegean 600 is the Hellenic Offshore Racing Club’s flagship offshore race, a non-stop 605-nautical-mile loop through the Aegean Sea. The club was established in Piraeus in 1961 and is the senior offshore racing authority in Greece. The course runs south from Cape Sounion through the islands of the Aegean, with no harbour stops between start and finish.
The fifth edition started on Sunday 6 July 2025 from Cape Sounio, the fleet crossing the line beneath the fifth-century BC Temple of Poseidon on the headland. Nearly sixty teams entered: fifty-two monohulls and eight multihulls, scored under IRC and ORC for the monohull fleet and MOCRA for the multihulls. The Region of Attica and Olympic Marine at Lavrion served as co-organisers, the marina holding the boats and crews through the days of preparation. A warm-up race, a skippers’ meeting and a welcome ceremony preceded the start.
