UNICO Yachting is proud to celebrate the achievement of SEVEN by Malta Sotheby’s International Realty, which secured two podium finishes at the 2026 Rolex Middle Sea Race. The result is a milestone for UNICO Yachting’s associated brand, Malta Sotheby’s International Realty, SEVEN’s exclusive sponsor.
SEVEN, a Grand Soleil 46 owned by Mario Debono, finished second in ORC Class 4 and third in IRC Class 4 at the 47th edition of the race. Organised by the Royal Malta Yacht Club, the race got underway on Saturday, 17 October, and brought together more than 100 yachts from around the world. The 606-nautical-mile course started and finished in Malta and circumnavigated Sicily, testing crews with changeable conditions, demanding navigation and constant tactical decisions.
The crew was recognised at the prize-giving ceremony on Saturday, 24 October, attended by Michael J. Zammit, Director and Joint Owner of Malta Sotheby’s International Realty and Founder & Director at UNICO Yachting.
