Raymarine Named Title Sponsor for X-Yachts Gold Cup Festival 2025

We’re excited to announce Raymarine as the official title sponsor for the upcoming X-Yachts Gold Cup Festival 2025, taking place from June 6–8 at our headquarters in Haderslev, Denmark.

Now officially titled the X-Yachts Gold Cup Festival 2025 – presented by Raymarine, the event will bring together X-Yachts owners and crews from over 10 nations for three days of racing, celebration, and community. Whether competing in the ORC “Race Class” or joining the more relaxed ”Family & Friends” or “Champagne” classes, every team will experience the spirit of X-Yachts – high performance, innovation, and shared passion – with the support of Raymarine.

Kræn Brinck Nielsen, CEO of X-Yachts, comments: ”Raymarine is an important partner for us in general, and we’re pleased they’re also supporting the Gold Cup Festival. Their sponsorship adds real value and helps elevate the entire experience for our guests by co-creating a great event for them both onshore and on the water.”

The races will unfold in the beautiful waters around Aarø Island, just outside Haderslev Fjord, while the shore-side program promises lively gatherings, delicious food, cold beverages and great company – all set against the backdrop of X-Yachts shipyard.

Welcoming Raymarine as title sponsor feels like a natural fit. With their deep roots in marine electronics and a shared passion for sailing innovation, their presence will be appreciated by many of our guests.

Torben Kornum, Global Market Manager at X-Yachts, adds:
”It is fantastic for X-Yachts to have the support of Raymarine. With their rich history in sailing electronics and their award-winning innovations, they play a strong role in our community. Many of our owners already rely on Raymarine equipment – and now they can look forward to dedicated on-site support during the Gold Cup.”

This partnership is built on more than just shared technology – it’s built on shared values. As Michelle Hildyard, VP of Operations at Raymarine, puts it:
”The X-Yachts Gold Cup epitomises Raymarine’s approach of inclusivity and our mission to provide an enjoyable time on the water for everyone.”

We can’t wait to welcome you all to Haderslev in June 2025. Let the countdown begin!
