America's Cup Naples 2027: Berths Are Open at 8 Marinas

As of 3 September 2026, BWA Yachting is taking official superyacht berth bookings for the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup in Naples, across eight marinas around the Bay of Naples. Planning a crewed yacht charter in Italy? Start with our Italy yacht charter guide.

What does this mean for your charter?

The yacht books the berth, not you. If you charter for Cup week, her captain applies for the berth, and each request is judged on length, draft, and arrival and departure dates. Berths are the scarce item, so the earlier a yacht is booked for the week, the better her chances of a spot near the race village.

Most charter guests will not need a marina berth at all. Racing is watched from the water. In Barcelona in 2024, spectator boats stayed mobile in zones beside the course. Naples has not published its spectator rules yet.

Where are the berths?

BWA Yachting, the Cup’s official superyacht programme partner, runs one booking system for eight marinas:

New Marina di Bagnoli, beside the team bases and fan village, still under construction
Marina Molo Luise, Naples
Stabia Main Port and Marina di Stabia, Castellammare di Stabia
Sud Cantieri, Pozzuoli
Marina di Capri
Marina di Arechi, Salerno
Marina di Procida

By March 2026, about 100 berths for yachts from 15 to 100 meters had already been formalised, according to Il Sole 24 Ore.

When is the racing?

The Louis Vuitton Cup challenger series opens on 22 and 23 May 2027.
The America’s Cup Match starts on 10 July 2027, first team to seven wins.
The preliminary regatta ran from 24 to 27 September 2026 as the dress rehearsal.

Dates are as announced. We re-check them before any client books around them.

Our take

Treat Cup week like Monaco Grand Prix week: decide the yacht about 12 months out, because the fleet in the bay will be spoken for early. The week works best as race days with the spectator fleet and the other days at anchor off Capri, Ischia and the Amalfi Coast.
