We are delighted to welcome you to the 2025 Optimist World Championship, which will take place from 26th June to 7th July 2025 in the beautiful seaside town of Portorož, Slovenia.
Slovenia, known as green, active, and authentic, is the perfect destination for this prestigious event. Portorož, located on the stunning Adriatic coast, is just a few kilometers from the Italian and Croatian borders, and a 2-hour drive from Venice.
A place renowned for its hospitality and health tourism since the 13th century, Portorož offers the perfect combination of natural beauty and excellent sailing conditions. The Pirat Sailing Club, our host venue, overlooks the picturesque Piran Bay, a dream destination for sailors all year round. With its clean sea, warm summers, variety of winds, and friendly locals, Portorož provides an ideal setting for the next chapter of the Optimist caravan.
Don’t just take our word for it—experience the magic yourself! Check out this inspiring destination video of Portorož and Piran, often called the “Pearl of the Mediterranean,” and discover why this region is truly special.
We look forward to seeing you in a few months for an unforgettable Championship!
