The Rolex Middle Sea Race is the culmination of the Mediterranean sailing season.

The Rolex Middle Sea Race, with over 600 miles of racing and a course around Sicily - starting and finishing in historic Valletta, is one of the most spectacular sailing events.

Taking place in late October, the Rolex Middle Sea Race is the culmination of the Mediterranean sailing season. The late date means the weather conditions are wildly unpredictable and can change by the hour, making this a truly demanding test of seamanship. With over 600 miles of racing, the anti-clockwise course around Sicily, starting and finishing in historic Valletta, is one of the most spectacular and magical sailing events.
