BWA Yachting has opened official superyacht berth bookings for the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup in Naples, as the city prepares to host the Preliminary Regatta from 24 to 27 September 2026.

BWA Yachting has officially opened berth bookings for superyachts planning to attend the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup in Naples in 2027.

As Official Superyacht Programme Delivery Partner for the 38th America’s Cup, BWA Yachting is the exclusive provider of berth bookings for the programme and will manage requests through a centralised system covering Naples and the surrounding region.

The announcement comes ahead of the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup Preliminary Regatta, which will bring America’s Cup racing to the Gulf of Naples from 24 to 27 September 2026.

The four-day regatta will provide an early preview of the competition ahead of the main event in 2027, while also giving Naples its first opportunity to showcase the Gulf as an America’s Cup racecourse.

BWA Yachting previously delivered official Superyacht Programmes for America’s Cup events in Bermuda and Barcelona and will bring that experience to Naples.

Marina network for Naples 2027

Berth bookings are now available across a preferred marina network in Naples and the surrounding region.

The current network comprises New Marina di Bagnoli, Marina Molo Luise, Stabia Main Port, Marina di Stabia, Sud Cantieri in Pozzuoli, Marina di Capri, Marina di Arechi in Salerno and Marina di Procida.

New Marina di Bagnoli, currently under development as part of the waterfront regeneration associated with the 38th America’s Cup, is expected to become a key hub for the event.

Further marinas are finalising their participation in the Official Superyacht Programme and are expected to be announced as the network expands.

Each berth request will be assessed individually, taking into account the yacht’s length overall, draft, operational requirements, arrival and departure schedule, and berth availability.

Superyachts gather in port during the America’s Cup, with BWA Yachting drawing on its experience in Barcelona for Naples 2027.

Centralised booking process

BWA Yachting will provide participating yachts with a single point of contact, coordinating arrangements from initial registration through to arrival in Naples.

The process covers yacht specifications and operational requirements, assessment of availability across the marina network, berth proposals and pre-arrival operational coordination.

A dedicated membership will also be introduced for the Naples 2027 Official Superyacht Program, providing participating owners and invited guests with access to hospitality, social events and exclusive experiences surrounding the racing program.

The initiative is designed to integrate visiting superyachts into the wider America’s Cup experience, with events planned around the racing in the Gulf of Naples.

Early registration is encouraged, with berth allocations to be determined according to yacht specifications, operational requirements and availability.

Official berth booking enquiries can be made through ac38@bwayachting.com.
