Port Vell as ‘Cup’ superyacht marina
SPAIN: Marina Port Vell Barcelona has been named as the ‘Preferred Superyacht Marina’ for the 37th America’s Cup, to be held in Barcelona between August and October 2024.
Booking of berths at the marina during this period will be managed via a centralised booking system run by the official superyacht services partner BWA Yachting. Over 40 boats and superyachts have already requested mooring.
Grant Dalton, CEO of ACE Barcelona and Emirates Team New Zealand, comments: “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 in this world class marina,” he adds.
