FVM and Y.C.P.R. join forces

We are pleased to announce the signing of a new reciprocity agreement between Fraglia Vela Malcesine and the Yacht Club Porto Rotondo — a partnership born to celebrate a shared passion for sailing and to “catch the wind” not only among ocean waves, but also across the waters of the lake.

When the Costa Smeralda first came to light in 1962, much of the island of Sardinia was still completely wild and unspoiled, bathed in the light and silence of the Mediterranean. Thanks to the vision of the Venetian counts Donà Dalle Rose, who transformed a pristine stretch of Gallura into an elegant village inspired by Venetian urban planning, the creation of the Yacht Club Porto Rotondo in 1985 was a natural next step. They founded a non-profit sports association for sailing enthusiasts, with the goal of promoting nautical sports and related activities. Affiliated since 1985 with the Italian Sailing Federation (FIV), the Club soon began organizing regattas in collaboration with the leading yacht clubs in Italy. Artists, aristocrats, and intellectuals helped turn it into a cultural and tourist landmark in the Mediterranean.

The Yacht Club Porto Rotondo (Y.C.P.R.) is located in the Marina of Porto Rotondo and features an elegant New England-style clubhouse, complete with a lounge, nautical library, meeting rooms, panoramic restaurant, and terraces overlooking the harbor.

The Club offers a Sailing School for both adults and children, a competitive racing team, and academies for young sailors. It organizes international regattas, as well as diving, kayaking, and fishing courses, and also hosts private and corporate events.

Located in the heart of the Costa Smeralda, Porto Rotondo blends elegance, art, and nature, offering 800 berths and all the services needed for exclusive nautical tourism.

This agreement strengthens the network of Y.C.P.R.’s partner clubs and fosters a virtuous exchange of experiences and opportunities between two leading institutions in Italian sailing.
