America’s Cup Naples: The Ultimate Yacht Charter

The America's Cup Naples brings the oldest trophy in international sport to the Bay of Naples in 2027. The Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup turns one of the most beautiful bays in the Mediterranean into a world-class racecourse, with the final Match opening on Saturday 10 July and concluding over the weekend of 17–18 July 2027.

The World's Oldest Sporting Trophy

First contested in 1851, the America's Cup is the pinnacle of competitive sailing. The world's leading teams, designers and sailors compete on the very edge of technology, with high-performance foiling yachts racing at remarkable speeds just above the water. Emirates Team New Zealand defends the trophy, while challengers battle for the right to face them in the final Match.

The wider programme in Naples begins in late May 2027 with fleet racing, followed by the Challenger Selection Series and the Youth America's Cup in early June, building towards the main event in July.

The Best Seat Is on the Water

The America's Cup is one of the few major sporting events designed to be watched from the sea. Racing takes place close to the Naples waterfront, and a private yacht in the Bay of Naples offers an uninterrupted view of the action, away from the crowds on shore. Guests can follow every tack and gybe from the sundeck, then relax with lunch on board between races.

Demand for yachts in Naples will be exceptionally high during the Match, and berths and anchorage positions are limited. Early booking is strongly recommended.

Explore the Amalfi Coast and Islands

Naples is the perfect gateway to some of the Mediterranean's most celebrated cruising grounds. Between race days, your yacht can take you to Capri, Ischia and Procida, or along the dramatic Amalfi Coast to Positano and Amalfi. Combine world-class sailing with long lunches, swimming in clear water and evenings in some of Italy's most stylish harbours.

Key Dates for the America's Cup Naples

The America's Cup Naples programme runs for almost two months, giving guests plenty of opportunities to watch the racing from the water:

22–23 May 2027: Group Stage fleet racing
26 May – 11 June 2027: Challenger Selection Series
2–6 June 2027: Youth America's Cup
10–18 July 2027: The America's Cup Match

The final Match opens with two races on Saturday 10 July and concludes over the weekend of 17–18 July, when the winner of the oldest trophy in international sport will be decided.

Planning Your America's Cup Naples Yacht Charter

The most popular way to experience the America's Cup Naples is with a week-long charter that combines race days in the Bay of Naples with cruising to Capri, Ischia and the Amalfi Coast. For guests with limited time, day charters on key race days offer a front-row view of the action without the need for an extended stay.

As the America's Cup is expected to attract visitors and yachts from around the world, availability will be limited and prices are likely to rise as the event approaches. We recommend securing your yacht as early as possible, particularly for the final Match weekends in July.

When choosing a yacht, consider the size of your group, whether you plan to entertain guests on board, and how much time you would like to spend cruising beyond Naples. Our team can advise on the best yachts, itineraries and berthing options for your plans.
