Naples 2027 America’s Cup opens superyacht berth bookings

Superyacht berth bookings have officially opened for the 38th America’s Cup, scheduled to take place in Naples in 2027. BWA Yachting, the official Superyacht Programme delivery partner, is managing all requests through a centralized system.

Available slips are spread across a network of eight marinas in Naples and the surrounding region, including Marina Molo Luise, Stabia Main Port, Marina di Stabia, Marina di Capri, Marina di Procida, Marina di Arechi in Salerno, Sud Cantieri in Pozzuoli, and the Marina di Bagnoli, which is currently undergoing renovations to serve as a primary hub.

Rather than a first-come, first-served model, BWA Yachting is evaluating requests based on specific criteria such as length overall (LOA), draft, and operational requirements. For the first time, the programme includes a dedicated membership offering owners and guests access to invitation-only social events and hospitality experiences centered around the racing.

The announcement precedes the Preliminary Regatta, which will be held in the Gulf of Naples from September 24 to 27, 2026, providing an early preview of the competition and the host city’s capabilities.
