Sao Tiago, 6th annual traditional boat regatta, Madeira

Saturday 9th September at 4pm. Come join us at Sao Tiago beach, Old Town, Funchal for the 6th annual traditional “canoa” boat regatta.

Under the mighty Sao Tiago Fort and Santiago beach bar where VADIA was built 40 years ago! A great fun day out for all the family, not to be missed 🙂

Fun Fact: The term “regatta” comes from the Venetian language, with regatta meaning “contest, contention for mastery”, possibly from recatare) which typically describes a racing event of rowed and sailed water craft.

Our new second generation limited edition “VADIA Ocean Wear” baseball hats are out now!

Thank you for your continued support: Nautica Madeira, Moynihan’s Irish Bar, Porto Bay Hotel, Santiago Beach Bar and VarioSport.
