Over two years ahead of the next America’s Cup, over 60 superyachts have already expressed interest in attending and securing moorings. The 37th America’s Cup will be held in Barcelona in September/ October 2024.
Always a huge event for attracting superyachts, the next edition is expected to draw one of the largest number of such yachts ever seen. Already, the base areas within the port have been specified and the Alinghi Red Bull team is already in situ !
To meet the demand for superyachts, BWA Yachting, the leading international yacht agency and services group, has been the company designated to coordinate the so-called 37th America’s Cup Superyacht Programme (ACSY) in Barcelona in 2024. BWA Yachting will coordinate a centralised reservation system for superyacht berthing plus oversee a range of VIP services and the related social events calendar for such vessels.
Facilities for boats and superyachts in Barcelona such as Marina Vela and Port Fòrum have so far signed up for the ACSY programme and have become “Preferred Marinas” for the organisation of the 2024 America’s Cup. Other marinas in Barcelona and Catalonia are expected to be part of the 37th America’s Cup Superyacht Programme.
BWA Yachting, which has headquarters in Lugano and Monaco plus branches throughout the Mediterranean and other areas, has previous experience in managing the development and coordination of the presence of large leisure boats during the 2013 America’s Cup in San Francisco and Bermuda in 2017.
