The experience

What it is like

For the first time the America’s Cup is being decided in Italy, in the Gulf of Naples. From late May the challenger teams compete in the Louis Vuitton Cup; in July the winner takes on the defender.

We organise days on the water to follow the races from the sea and holiday days in the gulf, with a base in Naples, Capri or Ischia.

Crewed yacht

Crewed yacht for race days and the rest of the holiday.

Accommodation

Hotels or villas in Naples, Capri or Ischia.

Transfers

Transfers, private chef and boat trips around the gulf.

Good to know

The races are followed from the sea in the areas open to spectators: distances from the race course and navigation rules do not depend on us. The organisers’ rules apply to the event’s areas ashore.

Frequently asked questions

Before you enquire

Can you follow a race from the boat?

Yes, in the areas at sea open to spectators. We explain beforehand what you can see and from what distance.

Which days should we choose?

The Louis Vuitton Cup runs from late May to early July; the America’s Cup Match is raced from 10 to 18 July. Races can be postponed due to weather, so we build the programme with some margin.

When should we book?

By winter: boats and berths in the gulf for those weeks will be in high demand.
