America's Cup Preliminary Regatta Set for Naples Gulf in September

The 38th America's Cup Preliminary Regatta will take place off the coast of Naples from September 24 to 27, with official racing days on September 25‑27. Spectator boats must register, stay below 5 knots, and follow marshal instructions while three daily races run from 14:00 to 16:00 in a course framed by Castel dell’Ovo, Posillipo, Mount Vesuvius and Capri.

Italian sailing team Luna Rossa, preparing for the 2027 America's Cup, will use the September tests to refine crew, strategy and technology. Luxury watchmaker Panerai has launched two limited‑edition Luminor Luna Rossa watches – the Chrono PAM01768 and GMT PAM01791 – to celebrate the partnership, with CEO Emmanuel Perrin noting the collection embodies the brand’s maritime heritage and pursuit of precision.
