Bermuda hailed a success after 35th America's Cup

BERMUDA'S successful delivery of the 35th America’s Cup has elevated the destination to a strong position for attracting future sports tourism events and has already helped officials land new events for the island.

Since 2016, nine America’s Cup legacy events – some of them recurring – have been added to Bermuda’s sports tourism calendar. These events coming to the island were positively influenced by the 35th America’s Cup and the 2015 Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in #Bermuda.

“Using the momentum of the America’s Cup to set the stage for future tourism growth has always been a goal of the Bermuda Tourism Authority. Bermuda is well on her way to accomplishing that goal,” said Bermuda Tourism Authority Chief Executive Kevin Dallas.

Meantime, in the wake of America’s Cup, the Bermuda #Tourism Authority is actively vetting the feasibility of many other sports-related events, including future Superyacht and J Class Regattas similar to the America’s Cup-related events that took place in Bermuda in June. 

 The 2017 Superyacht Regatta attracted about twice the number of entrants that raced in San Francisco during the 34th America’s Cup, while the convergence of eight J Class boats in Bermuda was the largest gathering in history – even more than raced at any one time in the 1930s and 1940s when the majestic sailing vessels competed for the America’s Cup.

Spectate from the water

BERMUDA'S crystal clear waters are this month providing the perfect stage for the 35th #America’sCup. The action will take place on the Great Sound, where the best sailors on the fastest #yachts in the race’s 166-year history will battle it out for the oldest trophy in international sport.

It’s not too late to enjoy a piece of the action. Prestige Holidays has a week-long package that includes the much sought after on-the-water spectator tickets and will offer unbeatable locations for viewing the race up close.

The Spectator Boats will have radio commentary playing during the on-water action, so passengers on board will know exactly how each race is playing out. Every boat in the fleet will also have a cash bar and snacks to buy on board.

Plain Sailing

THE 35th America’s Cup will be hosted for the first time in #Bermuda between May 26 and June 27, at which time the most elite sailing teams in the world will go to battle for yachting’s most sought-after trophy and title.

With 181 islands and 64 miles of coastline, it is not surprising that sailors travel back to Bermuda time and again.

Nestled neatly in the Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda offers some of the best snorkeling in the world, crystal clear turquoise waters and dazzling pink-sand beaches. The month of June offers excellent racing conditions, creating the perfect competitive atmosphere for the time-honored #AmericasCup.

The Moorings is offering spectators a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view all the world-class racing action and excitement from the deck of their own state-of-the-art sail catamaran. Sailing enthusiasts and America’s Cup fans alike are invited to charter their own private crewed Moorings 4800 or Moorings 5800 yacht, complete with personal captain and gourmet chef, for the ultimate America’s Cup experience.
