BWA Yachting has been reappointed as the Official Superyacht Programme Delivery Partner for the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup, to be held in Naples, Italy, in the Spring/Summer 2027. This marks the third consecutive America’s Cup in which BWA Yachting has been entrusted with this role, following the successful delivery of the exclusive Superyacht Programme in Bermuda and Barcelona.
The America’s Cup is widely regarded as the pinnacle of competitive sailing, the oldest international sporting trophy and a benchmark of technological innovation, precision and maritime excellence. Its host cities become the focal point of the global sailing community, attracting the world’s most advanced racing yachts alongside an exceptional gathering of superyachts, owners and industry leaders.
For the 38th edition and through the Superyacht Programme, BWA Yachting will once again oversee the centralised booking system and curate the official social calendar dedicated to attending superyacht owners and their guests. The programme ensures seamless berth allocation and access to a refined series of hospitality and social events designed to complement the racing spectacle.
Grant Dalton, CEO of ACE Italy SRL, said: “Both Italy and particularly Naples in 2027 is going to be centre stage showcasing the spectacle that the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup will deliver in this incredible venue. We saw in Barcelona how many superyachts came to the event and we are sure to exceed that number again, based on the enquiries already coming in. Working with BWA Yachting as our known and trusted partner, and now joining with Luise Group with their local expertise, we feel certain that superyacht owners, their guests and skippers are in the very best hands, with the most professional service for Naples 2027.”
Paschalis Patsiokas, CEO of BWA Yachting, commented: “To be reappointed for a third consecutive America’s Cup reflects the confidence placed in our organisation and our people. The America’s Cup is not only the highest expression of competitive sailing; it is also a gathering point for the global superyacht community. Our responsibility is to ensure that yacht owners and guests experience the event with complete operational confidence, supported by a structured and transparent system throughout the event in Naples 2027.”
In parallel, the Luise Group has been appointed Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup Preferred Yacht Agent, responsible for delivering maritime agency services to all attending yachts. For the Luise Group, this appointment carries particular significance: Naples is not only a host city but their home, where over a century of operational expertise provides a foundation of reliability. As founding fathers of BWA Yachting, the Luise Group shares a common DNA built on trusted superyacht agency expertise, service integrity and long-standing client relationships. Their appointment ensures that the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup benefits from established local knowledge and proven on-the-ground capability, while BWA Yachting’s coordinated global network provides international reach and structured programme management. Together, the two organisations form a complementary and robust framework, aligned to the scale and prestige of the America’s Cup.
Francesco Luise, Managing Partner Luise Group, stated: “We are deeply honoured to be part of this prestigious international event, a key platform for exchanging visions of excellence and consolidating synergies of universal value. It is an immense emotion to be able to experience the energy of such an international context, where the exchange of diverse cultures transforms every moment into a unique opportunity for growth and global connection. This is a unique opportunity, and I am certain that the organizational and professional efforts put in by the Luise Group will contribute to the success of this event, for the good of the city and our country.”
The operational framework for the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup builds on the knowledge gained in Barcelona, where the Superyacht Programme was led by Antonella Della Pietra. She will continue to oversee the Programme for Naples 2027, ensuring continuity in approach and delivery. As an Italian returning to her home country for this event, she brings established relationships and proven coordination, reinforcing the consistency and structured execution that clients value and expect.
