Regatta Fiumanka in Rijeka

Rijeka and its harbor once again become a meeting place for many sailors at the 26th Fiumanka international sailing event. It is marked by interesting events on the sea and at the seaside in period from 9th to 14th of June.

The regatta was organized for the first time in 2000, when 114 sailboats gathered on the sea in front of Rijeka.At that time, Fiumanka was the largest Croatian regatta, and over the years it continued to grow, develop and build its international recognition until today.Her sails were strongly imprinted in the identity of the city, an important maritime destination and the largest Croatian port.Throughout history, Rijeka has been the center of trade, shipbuilding and seafaring, and Fiumanka once again gave it an incentive to turn towards the sea.

The first among them will be the Student Fiumanka, followed by the Lurssen Regatta and the Paper Fiumanka, and the central event will be the main regatta, which will take place on Saturday, June 14, when numerous participants will gather at the starting line in front of the Port of Rijeka.

The main regatta Velika Fiumanka will be held o on Saturday, June 14, and will be preceded by various themed regattas as well as a media regatta. Fiumanka was started in honor of the patron saint of Rijeka St. Vid on 15th June.

Along with the sports section and various regattas, Fiumanka will once again be accompanied by a rich program this year: a panel on the topic of sustainability, evening entertainment and a series of daily events that will once again make Rijeka an indispensable destination for all lovers of the sea and good times. The central place of events on land this year will be a new location – the popular Gat – where they will have fun, hold a ceremony to announce the winners and enjoy a concert by the band Daleka obala.

Because sailing is more than a sport, and Fiumanka is more than a regatta, and thanks to a unique approach to organization, the Rijeka regatta has successfully positioned itself among the leading nautical events in terms of attractiveness, number of participants and international recognition.

Fiumanka strongly promotes Rijeka and Kvarner as a tourist and sports destination.
