Some waves don’t just crash against the bow of a boat. Some carry with them stories, landscapes, and people. The Prosecco DOC Consortium has brought its sparkling spirit to the sails of one of the Adriatic’s most iconic maxi yachts: Shockwave³. From the Trieste bora winds to the soft light of the Venetian lagoon, Shockwave³ has cut through seas and imaginations alike, telling the story of an Italy that celebrates life in every surge, in sport as in a glass raised to the sky.
The first chapter of this season began with the strong wind of the 26th Fiumanka Regatta (June 2025): a lightning start, a determined pace, and a finish line crossed first. A toast that tastes like a spectacular debut. Then came the 64th Trieste–San Giovanni in Pelago Regatta (July 2025), ORC Maxi class. Once again, Shockwave³ led the fleet. A victory that reaffirms a simple truth: when sailing mastery meets Italian spirit, you soar. In other moments, such as the Due Castelli and Bernetti Trophy races, it was the sea that set the rhythm. The weather called for silence, but sometimes waiting is part of the journey.
At the 57th Barcolana (October 2025), among thousands of sails and a festival-like atmosphere on the sea, Shockwave³earned a spot on the podium. Third place, yes, but in that ocean of passion it means being part of the elite. It means being watched, supported, celebrated. The lagoon is unforgiving, with tricky currents and narrow channels where maneuvering becomes pure art.
And it is right there that Shockwave³ triumphed with elegance at the 12th Venice Hospitality Challenge (October 2025), taking the top step of the podium, a victory steeped in Venetian history and glamour. The following day, at the 18th Veleziana (October 2025), the Prosecco DOC boat kept its momentum, finishing second. Another toast, another story to tell.


Every finish line is a celebration. A simple gesture, two glasses meeting, yet behind it lie months of preparation, held breath, shifting winds, and shared dreams. Prosecco DOC isn’t just a sailing companion; it is the symbol of that Italian conviviality that makes every victory sweeter, every occasion greater, every story more memorable. Shockwave³ doesn’t race only to win, it races to celebrate what brings us together. And the journey goes on.
For those following from abroad, wine lovers, travelers, and sea enthusiasts in Canada and beyond, Shockwave³ is an invitation.
An invitation to discover an Italy that never stops, that innovates, welcomes, and toasts to life.
Because when the wind fills the sails and a bottle of Prosecco DOC is opened, it’s more than sport.
It’s a way of being in the world.
From the Adriatic, Shockwave³ sails wherever there’s a reason to celebrate.
