The Experience:
Watch the Best Sailors in the World Race on San Francisco Bay!
On Saturday and Sunday, May 6-7, some of the world’s top and highly competitive sailors will race high-speed catamarans across San Francisco Bay in the final stretch for the SailGP Trophy.
After 12-months and 10 SailGP events held at iconic venues around the world, Season 3 will end with the crowning of the overall season champion on San Francisco Bay.
You can reserve seating right on the waterfront at the Marina Green within the SailGP Stadium at Yacht Club Peninsula with great commentary and large screens. It will be exhilarating watching teams filled with America’s Cup and World Championship winners. Besides the up-close view, food and drinks are also available in the stadium.
Jimmy Spithill is skippering for Team USA in this Larry Ellison-backed tournament SailGP, which is being held off Marina Green. Team USA is currently ranked 7th.. But Team USA needs your support as they tool up for Season 4 which starts in June. Tickets are $75 for this seating or you can bring your own boat and moor up right along the racecourse. May be the best seat in the house!

What is SailGP?
It’s fast-paced racing by young (team mean age is 26) world champion sailors. The SailGP F50 boats are engineered to be identical – leaving the competition with the teams’ performance and use of the cutting-edge technology.
SailGP goal: To leave a positive legacy and build a sustainable sport – by providing equal, life-changing opportunities and new career pathways for all, regardless of race or socioeconomic background.
In their passion for protecting the oceans, one of SailGP’s sustainability efforts will be to eliminate plastic waste during the races. SailGP’s target is to accelerate the transition to clean energy and be the most sustainable and purpose-driven sports and entertainment property.
