This year, the Grand Soleil Cup will be a really special event dedicated not only the Grand Soleil's owners, but also to those who love the beautiful boats by
Cantiere del Pardo .
From the 25th to the 27th of May 2018, the picturesque
Marina di Cala Galera will be the scenario of this new, prestigious event by Cantiere del Pardo. The large number of Grand Soleil's owners from Italy and abroad will move to Cala Galera for the occasion - enrolled participants are more than 50 already.
