The Cyclades Cup is an annual invitational regatta for sailing yachts of thirty metres and above, held in the waters between Antiparos and Paros in the Cyclades. It is held in collaboration with the Yacht Club of Greece and is sanctioned by the SuperYacht Racing Association, scored under the ORC Superyacht Rule. The fourth edition is scheduled for 9 to 12 June 2027. The series has held the same early-June window since its inaugural edition: 2024 (inaugural), 12–15 June 2025 (second), and 10–13 June 2026 (third).
The regatta was founded in 2024 by the owner Ilia Rigas, who himself races the fifty-metre Almyra II. It was the first superyacht event of its kind in Greece. The Yacht Club of Greece’s fleet captain Stratis Andreadis serves as race director. Entry is by invitation and the fleet is capped at around twenty-five yachts. The shore programme includes a welcome reception, a dinner for owners and guests, and a closing awards ceremony at which the winner receives a hand-carved Cycladic head in Parian marble.
