About the event
The Roma per Tutti regatta is one of the most significant regattas in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Many famous sailors participated in it at different times. The regatta is also interesting because it marks the beginning of the season in the Mediterranean.
Beginners are invited to participate in the regatta along with experienced sailors. In the team, you will get your role and learn the basics of yachting in the process of competition.
The history of the Roma per Tutti regatta began in 1994, but in 2008 the route was changed and now on the way to Lipari yachts go past the island of Ventonene. The regatta starts and ends in the very heart of Italy, in Rome, in the marina of Riva di Traiano. The participants have to overcome 560 nautical miles.

Itinerary
- Thursday
The best part of the regatta is its route. Firstly, the regatta starts in Rome, the cradle of civilization, which does not need a special introduction. Secondly, along the entire route you will see incredible landscapes - the rocky coast of Ventonene, the volcanic Aeolian islands, and, of course, the Tyrrhenian Sea itself. The crews have a very difficult route with strong winds, but the result is worth it. There are not many people that have participated in such a complex and interesting regatta.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, of course. There will be an experienced skipper and team members on the yacht. They will give you a role and teach you everything you need to know to be a useful team member and feel comfortable.
Yes, all team members will definitely try themselves in different roles to better understand each other. Standing at the helm is an integral part of training for beginners as well as setting sails, and helping the team during moorings.
As a rule, participants in the regatta live on the yacht. The boat has everything you need for a comfortable stay: nice beds, a kitchen, a shower with toilet. If you do not want to live on a yacht, then you can arrange to stay at the hotel onshore.
The crew decides altogether what kind of food they prefer to eat and makes necessary purchases. Simple dishes can be cooked, usually taking turns. Some regattas offer daily meals and intensive evening program for all crews.
We can make an invitation for a visa, but you need to apply for a visa by yourself.
Most people tolerate some seasickness easily. If you feel that you are starting to feel sick, it is best to get at the steering wheel or tune the sails. Get yourself busy, show your body that you don’t have time to get sick, you have to fight for victory in the race. There are also many quite effective medicines from sickness. If you start taking them in advance, then the probability of seasickness is almost zero.
Before each trip, we organize an online meeting where participants get to know each other and the captain. The captain will answer all your questions. The crew will have a group chat so you can get to know each other before the start of the regatta. Then you will meet in the marina.
The main rule is to dress comfortably and according to the weather.
Clothing:
- windbreaker and pants or shorts;
- shirt/jacket with UV protection (thermal underwear and fleece);
- adjustable hat/cap;
- gloves.
We recommend to purchase a long-sleeved jacket with UV protection in order to protect yourself from the sun and strong wind.
Yachting shoes should be:
- light, with non-slip white outsole;
- with the fixed heel;
- with a tightly closed nose.
During the sailing without shoes, you can fall or injure your fingers and feet on the deck. There are many protruding parts on the boat that are easy to catch. Unfortunately, even experienced sailors are not protected from unpleasant injuries when they ignore this simple rule.
