Caorle’s sea is not just about relaxing under a beach umbrella; it is an international racecourse that every spring comes alive with the sails of hundreds of boats. Whether you are a sailing enthusiast or simply love the spectacle of the sea in motion, the regattas La Ottanta<\/strong> and La Duecento<\/strong> are events you must mark in your calendar for 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is everything you need to know to experience these offshore challenges like a true local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 Dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who want to organize their weekend in Caorle, these are the dates to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • La Ottanta:<\/strong> April 11th-12th, 2026. A “short” but intense regatta, perfect for opening the season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    La Ottanta: The Spring Prologue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    La Ottanta (80 nautical miles) is a coastal regatta that takes sailors from Caorle towards Grado and Piran, and then back. It is a very technical race, where strategy and the ability to read the coastal wind make the real difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A friend’s tip:<\/strong> The most exciting moment is undoubtedly the start. Position yourself on the ScoglieraViva<\/strong> promenade (near the Church of the Madonna dell’Angelo) on the morning of Saturday, April 11th: you will see the boats sail just a few meters from the rocks before heading out to sea. It is the perfect spot for taking incredible photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    La Duecento: The Challenge of the Adriatic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    With its 200 miles, this regatta is a true test of endurance and charm. The Caorle-Grado-Susak-Caorle route challenges crews even during night navigation. The arrival of the first boats, usually after more than 24 hours at sea, is a moment of great excitement that can be felt throughout the entire city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to experience the regattas with tips from Hotel All’Orologio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Staying in Caorle during the sailing weekends means immersing yourself in a unique atmosphere. Here are our suggestions so you don’t miss the best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Binoculars in hand:<\/strong> From the Levante beach, just steps away from us, you can follow the first maneuvers of the boats from a privileged perspective.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Aperitivo at the Dock:<\/strong> The evening before the departure, take a walk at the Port. The energy you feel among the sailors preparing their boats and studying nautical charts is contagious.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The April climate:<\/strong> The sea in spring is wonderful but unpredictable. If you come to watch the departure, bring a light windbreaker with you: the wind that accompanies the regattas is splendid, but it can be biting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      “Seeing hundreds of white sails stand out against the blue May sky is, for us, the true signal that summer is just around the corner. It is not just sport; it is the elegance of the wind marrying our coast.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
