The Cyclades Cup is an annual invitational regatta for sailing yachts of 30.5 metres length overall and greater, held in the waters off Antiparos in the Cyclades. It is organised by the Yacht Club of Greece and sanctioned by the SuperYacht Racing Association. The second edition was held from 12 to 15 June 2025.
Fifteen yachts raced across five classes in the channel between Antiparos and its adjoining islands. The fleet included the 49.8-metre Almyra II of Ilia Rigas, who founded the Cup, and the Pendennis-built Nostromo, which took the grand prize with Olympic gold medallist Jesper Bank at the helm and the owner Sir Andrew Cook. The 2025 edition added a Corinthian Spirit class and a 90-foot racing class to the existing fleet structure. The Cup was founded in 2024 and is held in the early-summer window, before the main Aegean season.
