Venice Regatta<br />

Riva perched on the canal’s edge, boasting numerous familiar design<br />
features and a dedicated cocktail, featuring white rum, grapefruit, orgeat<br />
syrup and orange bitters. I savor mine, watching the sun sink behind<br />
the Palazzo Da Mula Morosini, casting the Dorsoduro and the famous<br />
Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute into a warm pink light.<br />
It’s not news that Venice is a fabulous place for a superyacht stop-off.<br />
Steeped in history and luxury, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a slower pace<br />
and soak up the culture. But for those who need an adrenaline injection<br />
between all of the city strolls, a race around the canal aboard a nippy<br />
regatta yacht is the perfect addition to the itinerary. I have to agree with<br />
Vinčec’s words: “Venice is Venice, it’s special and I love it.”<br />
