Superyacht refit and repair facility MB92 Barcelona has been selected by the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup Event Authority (ACE) and BWA Yachting as the Preferred Shipyard Partner for superyachts attending the regatta.
As part of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup Superyacht Programme (ACSY) managed by BWA Yachting, MB92 Barcelona will offer services tailored to the needs of superyachts during the global sailing event.
Services will include ongoing technical support, and a collaboration with ACE Barcelona and BWA Yachting to promote the ACSY experience.
MB92, based in the heart of Barcelona, is currently being used as a base for the New York Yacht Club American Magic America’s Cup challenger team.
The facility can host up to three of the largest yachts in the world simultaneously and is able to lift vessels up to 115 metres in length.
“We are thrilled to partner with the America’s Cup and BWA Yachting for this momentous global event,” said Txema Rubio, commercial director of MB92 Group. “We recognise the profound impact this will have on Barcelona and are proud to contribute to an important new chapter in the rich maritime heritage of our city.”
The event has already attracted more superyachts than at any other period explained Leslie Ryan, event director, ACE Barcelona.
“Welcoming MB92 to the Louis Vuitton AC37 Superyacht Programme is a significant milestone for us,” said Antonella Della Pietra, managing partner of BWA Yachting Spain and project manager of the Louis Vuitton AC37 Superyacht Programme.
