The race kicks off now! Grab a picnic basket or book a table and get ready to enjoy the show.
Head to Upper Barrakka Gardens for the perfect view
One of the best spots to catch the race start is from the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta. Perched high above the Grand Harbour, this location offers sweeping views of the boats as they prepare for their journey. Bring a pair of binoculars to get a closer look at the yachts lining up and unfurling their sails. Arrive early to secure a good spot, as it can get quite crowded with spectators eager to witness the spectacle.
Sip and watch from a waterfront café in The Three Cities
If you prefer a relaxed vibe, find a cosy spot at one of the many cafés along Vittoriosa, where you get views of Grand Harbour. You’ll enjoy excellent views of the yachts sailing away from the island. Order a coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the race in comfort. Don’t forget to pack some snacks to make the most of your morning.
Experience the action at the Valletta Waterfront
For an up-close look at the fleet, head to the Valletta Waterfront, where the yachts dock before the race. This area not only gives you a chance to admire the impressive vessels up close but also has various restaurants and bars lining the promenade. This is the best spot to soak in the lively pre-race atmosphere with fellow sailing enthusiasts.
