Yacht regatta “Fiumanka”

During the week in which we celebrate, the Feast of St. Vitus’, patron saint of the city of Rijeka, one of the largest gathering of yachts on the Adriatic coast takes place in Rijeka – a regatta. The race is organised in the regatta field in front of the port of Rijeka. This sporting story started in 2000, when certain yacht enthusiasts from Rijeka launched this manifestation, inspired by the famous regatta Barcolana in Trieste, one of the most crowded world regattas.

The Rijeka regatta has become a tradition in our region, achieving the status of an appreciated sailing event in Croatia and even beyond its boundaries. Yachts from the neighbouring countries regularly visit “Fiumanka”, in particular from Slovenia and Italy that with their achievements have marked the regatta editions until now.

Further information is available on the website of the manifestation  Fiumanka.
