The America's Cup is coming to Naples. Let a local show you around.
In 2027, Naples hosts the 38th America's Cup — the first time in the event's 175-year history that it's been raced in Italy. Beyond the race village, Naples is a city best discovered through someone who actually lives here. I'm Margaux, French, based in Naples, and I put together tailor-made experiences for visitors who want more than a spectator pass.

Get in touchFrequently asked questions
When is the America's Cup in Naples?
The preliminary regatta runs September 24–27, 2026. The Louis Vuitton Cup, the challenger selection series, takes place in spring 2027. The Match itself, the final, runs July 10–18, 2027.
Are these experiences only available during the America's Cup?
No. They are available year-round — the Cup is simply bringing more visitors to Naples who are looking for exactly this kind of experience.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as possible for the boat trips and private dinners, since they depend on a partner's own availability. A few weeks' notice gives the most flexibility; last-minute requests are still worth asking about.
