Spectacular new aerial shots of the island taken during the 35th America’s Cup by its official photography licensee, LookBermuda, give a new vantage on the races.

The images, provided by photographer Jean-Pierre Rouja, show Bermuda at its glowing best, with catamarans plying the Great Sound and stunning views over the West End and East End.

With drones banned during the races, and helicopters filming from low altitude, Mr Rouja took his photographs from a small Cessna at heights of 1,500 to 4,000 feet.

“I’m always looking for alternate angles,” said Mr Rouja, who aimed to capture the scale of the course and the fleet of spectator boats for the 2015 and 2017 races with mural-sized aerial panoramas.

The selection ranges from wide views to close-ups, and includes shots of the Superyacht Regatta and the J Class Regatta.
