Overview
If you're looking for something a little different to do on a sunny afternoon this summer, consider sipping an ice-cold drink and kicking back to dance-worthy tunes on an island while world-class sail boats race around Sydney Harbour. Any excuse to hang out in the sunshine, right?
Returning to Sydney for its second season, SailGP will see the world's fastest yachts, with teams from Australia, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Japan, Spain, and the US racing through our iconic harbour on Friday, February 28 and Saturday, February 29. It's set to be an exhilarating couple of days — and you can get right in the middle of all the action at the event's Island Arena on Shark Island.
Grab a premium ticket ($250) and you'll enjoy a gourmet hamper and drinks from an open bar, plus huge screens showing the race, live race commentary, DJs and entertainment. All tickets to Island Arena include ferry transfers to and from Shark Island departing Man O'War Steps.
Rather be cruising alongside the yachts? Hop on a spectator boat run by Captain Cook Cruises (from $112), where you can get plenty of food and bevvies as you watch the race from the water. Or you can register to bring your own boat to a great spot on the water for free. If you'd rather go behind the scenes, you can book in for a tour of the boats on Cockatoo Island from February 17–27 for $29, too.
