To take place in San Francisco this September, the official Superyacht Regatta of the 34th America’s Cup is being organized by Boat International Media, in partnership with the America’s Cup.
For the very first time superyachts will be able to be at the heart of the action; participating in their own regatta over the three America’s Cup Finals lay days; 9, 11 and 13 September 2013.
Sailing enthusiasts from around the world will have had a full summer of high speed racing, with the Louis Vuitton Cup (America’s Cup Challenger Series) raced in July and August to determine who will race Oracle Team USA in the America’s Cup Finals beginning on 7 September.
In addition to three days of racing, a superyacht social program organised by Boat International Media will ensure that owners and their guests are entertained to the usual first class standards with a Welcome Evening, Owners’ Dinner and the traditional End of Regatta Party.
