AMERICA’S CUP AND MARINA PORT VELL BARCELONA SIGN PARTNERSHIP TO BECOME THE PREFERRED MARINA FOR SUPERYACHTS VISITING BARCELONA DURING THE REGATTA IN 2024

Marina Port Vell Barcelona and the America’s Cup have signed an agreement for the key Mediterranean Superyacht facility to become the Preferred Marina for Superyachts visiting Barcelona during the regatta in 2024.

Together Marina Port Vell, ACE Barcelona (America’s Cup official organiser), and BWA Yachting, the Official Superyacht services partner for the 37 th America’s Cup, will collaborate in the development of the America’s Cup Superyacht Program (ACSY) to offer their world leading services to the Superyachts attending. Thanks to this agreement, booking of berths at Marina Port Vell for the America’s Cup period will be managed through a centralized booking system run by BWA Yachting.

The perfect choice

As the leading marina specialized in Superyachts and with a unique and stunning location in the city center, next to the regatta course, Marina Port Vell makes the perfect choice for organisers, attendees, and participants. More than 40 boats and Superyachts have already requested mooring at its facilities to attend this sporting event, further reinforcing Barcelona as a Superyacht hub in the Mediterranean.

In the words of Grant Dalton, CEO of ACE Barcelona and Emirates Team New Zealand, “ From the start of our discussions with Barcelona and Catalunya as the potential host venue for the America’s Cup event, we have been very impressed by the extent and quality of marinas, ports and facilities that can be offered to visiting yachts. Marina Port Vell is unique in its position in Port Vell, so close to the City Centre and next to the Team Bases for the America’s Cup event so we are very pleased with this partnership. We have no doubt that visiting Superyachts will have an incredible experience at this world class marina.  “

Ignacio Erroz, General Manager of Marina Port Vell Barcelona, celebrated the signing of this agreement, stating  “We are delighted and excited to be part of this important event. The team at Marina Port Vell are already working together with Grant Dalton and ACE Barcelona, the official organising authority of the America’s Cup so that this edition is the best in the entire history of the competition”.

High-end services for Superyachts and a hub for official America’s Cup Merchandise

During the competition, Marina Port Vell will serve Superyachts and boats that are visiting Barcelona for the event. The aim will be to offer a unique and memorable experience to customers, with the marina appointing a dedicated team solely focused on providing high value-added services and plans to multiply its resources to meet the expected high demand, generating a positive economic impact for the local community and multiple special social occasions for everyone to enjoy. 

In addition, the agreement will allow Marina Port Vell to sell the official event merchandising for the 37th America’s Cup at its facilities, for which a commercial space will be created that will offer customers an exclusive shopping environment.

Celebration of exclusive events

During the competition, it is expected that exclusive spaces for events at the marina such as The Sea Garden, the Blue Wave or the Crew Lounge, located in a stunning waterfront location with unique views of Port Vell and the City, will host key celebrations and special events with interest from visiting Superyacht owners and leading international brands that have already shown interest to book the venue for the days of the America’s Cup.

In addition to these spaces, the marina’s docks and buildings will be prepared to host shopping areas, events, and social gatherings, such as award winning and recently renovated, The Gallery, the marina’s flagship building. 

Finally, Marina Port Vell Barcelona is carrying out a major investment project of its main facilities, including a beautiful new landscaping project that will increase the green spaces of the Marina, making a warmer and more welcoming gateway to the stunning city of Barcelona. 

If you are interested to attend the America’s Cup, you can contact Marina Port Vell to book your berth.
