The Event:

The POLIMI Graduate School of Management is proud to introduce a new event in the MBA Sailing League: the upcoming POLIMI GSoM Regatta. Beginning from the 14th of May, 2025, top Business Schools from around the world will gather for an unforgettable long weekend of sailing and camaraderie.

Location:

Cala dei Sardi is not just a marina—it’s an entryway to the stunning landscapes of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda. Recognized with the prestigious Blue Marina Award, this destination merges unspoiled nature with forward-thinking design. Here, turquoise waters meet rugged coastlines, secluded beaches invite exploration, and lively piazzas offer an authentic taste of local culture.

More than a sailing hub, Cala dei Sardi is a model of sustainable innovation, featuring eco-conscious floating pontoons that protect marine life. Its prime location near the historic La Maddalena Archipelago allows visitors to immerse themselves in a rich maritime heritage, where nature, history, and modern engineering come together in perfect harmony.
