The Red Sea Sailing Regatta — Egypt's flagship sailing event, four days on the water in El Gouna. A premium stage for Alfa Romeo to own, on the road to America's Cup 2027.
Red Sea Sailing Regatta Vol. 3 · 9–12 December 2026 · El Gouna. Egypt's flagship sailing event — and the single best stage to launch an automotive brand into the sailing world.
Four days of competitive racing across classes, on the Red Sea's premier waters.
Awards, dining and networking with owners, VIPs and international guests.
Leadership conversation on performance, sustainability and marine tourism.
Premium spectator and social programming at El Gouna's best venues.



Alfa Romeo is title sponsor of Luna Rossa at the first America's Cup ever held in Italy. Before the world watches Naples, Red Sea Sails offers the brand its first on-water activation on the Red Sea — a controlled, premium, regional rehearsal of the road-to-sea story, twelve months ahead of the Match.
No automotive brand has owned sailing in this market. Alfa can be the first.
Same narrative, same red, same Italian DNA — a regional chapter of a global campaign already greenlit.
A self-contained December pilot that scales to a year-long 2027 platform.
A real, operating community — built since 2014, growing every year. Not a one-off event, but a platform with a track record.



In 2025 Egypt opened its waters to foreign-flagged leisure yachts for the first time. The door is open — and the Red Sea is the natural winter alternative when the Med closes in October.
A sailing fleet is a filter. To own a 40-foot yacht in Egypt is to sit in a tier of wealth that doesn't advertise itself — and at the December flagship, that tier is concentrated on one waterfront for four days.
A person who buys an $800K yacht — or a $1.5M-plus catamaran — isn't a prospect for Alfa Romeo. They're already the customer. This event is a room full of them.
Owners don't sail alone. Each boat arrives with family, guests and peers from the same circle — business owners, executives and the social network around marina life in El Gouna and Cairo. The audience multiplies off the dock.
International sailors across 12–15 nationalities, VIP spectators, the El Gouna resort community, sponsors and regional yachting press — across the racing, the gala and the forum.
The most efficient room in the country for a premium automotive brand to stand in — and owners at this level are perpetually in-market for the cars that match the life.
Momentum compounds across the calendar. From the December flagship to the May Soma Bay Festival, the audience keeps growing — visibility that lives well beyond any single event.
Reference point: the December flagship drove 223K views — momentum that carried straight into the spring season.
Translated into the terms a media plan is judged on — value, not just volume.
And unlike a paid campaign, this asset keeps producing — hull footage, gala content, the AC75 tie-in — for twelve months after the spend.
This is the AC75 Alfa Romeo is backing in Naples. In El Gouna, inspired by the same look and feel, will apply to our race yachts — with dedicated AR logo placement on hull and sail.
Alfa Romeo's sailing story is already written for 2027 — title sponsor of Luna Rossa at the first America's Cup held in Italy. Red Sea Sails is the chapter that happens first: a refined, on-water proof point on the Red Sea, themed to the brand you're already building.
Alfa Romeo's own reels already capture it: the car, the yachts, the sailors, the fans. This is the world the December flagship plugs straight into.

This isn't a first attempt. Red Sea Sails has self-funded and self-run 18 regattas since 2022, built the only operating sailing ecosystem on the Red Sea, and helped open Egypt's waters to international sailors. The platform exists. The audience exists. December is simply where Alfa steps onto it.

School, charter, events — a real business.
Egypt opened to foreign-flagged yachts, 2025.

Indicative ranges for discussion. Final line-item pricing confirmed in the partnership proposal.
Most sponsors buy an event. This is a position you hold as the category grows — and right now, it's uncontested.
