RIXOS SAILING CUP 2025
Rixos Sailing Cup regatta is an amateur regatta with a rich entertainment program. The regatta is perfect for those who would like to try sailing, and spend their vacations actively. Rixos Sailing Cup is held in Fethiye Bay (Turkey, the city of Göcek), which is protected from wind and waves. The regatta consists of a series of short-distance races. Rixos Sailing Cup is a young regatta in Turkish waters on sailing yachts.
Participate together with sportsmen and professionals, relax and gain new sailing experience.
Since 2016, the Rixos Sailing Cup has held a distinctive place among international sailing events, remaining one of the youngest in its category. The regatta is organized by Rixos Premium Gocek in cooperation with the Gocek Yacht Club and kicks off right after the conclusion of Gocek Race Week, making it a natural continuation of the sailing season in the region.
The four-day program is designed with sailing enthusiasts in mind. Regardless of prior experience, every participant can enjoy the thrill and excitement of the races. The competition features short courses around the local islands and bays, with each evening culminating in an award ceremony and lively onshore entertainment.
The Rixos Sailing Cup is all about energy and speed rather than endurance. With its sprint-style format, participants have plenty of time to relax on Turkey’s welcoming beaches, explore historical landmarks, and share unforgettable evenings at vibrant parties with fellow sailors.

Discussion
FAQ
Can I participate in a regatta if I don’t have yachting experience?
Yes, of course. There will be an experienced skipper and team members on the yacht. They will give you a role and teach you everything you need to know to be a useful team member and feel comfortable.
Will I be able to steer a yacht?
Yes, all team members will definitely try themselves in different roles to better understand each other. Standing at the helm is an integral part of training for beginners as well as setting sails, and helping the team during moorings.
Where will I live during the regatta?
As a rule, participants in the regatta live on the yacht. The boat has everything you need for a comfortable stay: nice beds, a kitchen, a shower with toilet. If you do not want to live on a yacht, then you can arrange to stay at the hotel onshore.
What will we eat?
The crew decides altogether what kind of food they prefer to eat and makes necessary purchases. Simple dishes can be cooked, usually taking turns. Some regattas offer daily meals and intensive evening program for all crews.
Do you help with a visa?
We can make an invitation for a visa, but you need to apply for a visa by yourself.
Will I have seasick? What should I do if I have sickness?
Most people tolerate some seasickness easily. If you feel that you are starting to feel sick, it is best to get at the steering wheel or tune the sails. Get yourself busy, show your body that you don’t have time to get sick, you have to fight for victory in the race. There are also many quite effective medicines from sickness. If you start taking them in advance, then the probability of seasickness is almost zero.
How and where will I meet the crew and the captain?
Before each trip, we organize an online meeting where participants get to know each other and the captain. The captain will answer all your questions. The crew will have a group chat so you can get to know each other before the start of the regatta. Then you will meet in the marina.
What clothes do I need?
The main rule is to dress comfortably and according to the weather. Clothing: • windbreaker and pants or shorts; • shirt/jacket with UV protection (thermal underwear and fleece); • adjustable hat/cap; • gloves. We recommend to purchase a long-sleeved jacket with UV protection in order to protect yourself from the sun and strong wind. Yachting shoes should be: • light, with non-slip white outsole; • with the fixed heel; • with a tightly closed nose. During the sailing without shoes, you can fall or injure your fingers and feet on the deck. There are many protruding parts on the boat that are easy to catch. Unfortunately, even experienced sailors are not protected from unpleasant injuries when they ignore this simple rule.
