The countdown is officially on. With exactly one month to go until the APEX Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix, the island is bracing for the return of the world’s most exciting racing on water.
Scheduled for May 9th and 10th, the event is rapidly becoming the focal point of Bermuda’s summer sporting calendar. The Great Sound will once again transform into a high-speed arena as ten international teams go head-to-head in a bid for seasonal supremacy.
Fans can expect a masterclass in modern engineering as the cutting-edge F50 foiling catamarans take flight. These "flying boats" are capable of reaching staggering speeds exceeding 60 mph (100 km/h), providing a stark, high-tech contrast to the serene turquoise backdrop of Bermuda’s iconic waters.
With the one-month milestone reached, organizers have reported that tickets are selling at a record pace. From the premium onshore spectator zones to the popular "Bring Your Own Boat" program, the demand to witness the F50 fleet in person has reached a fever pitch.
For those looking to attend in larger numbers, the event offers a significant incentive. Groups of 25 or more can access a 10% discount, positioning the Grand Prix as a premier choice for corporate hospitality, team-building rewards, or large-scale social gatherings. Interested parties are encouraged to register via the official Group Booking Form to secure their space in the fan zone.
The Bermuda leg is often cited by athletes as a favorite on the global circuit due to the island's unique wind conditions and the natural amphitheater of the Great Sound. For the teams, it is a high-stakes weekend where one tactical error at 50 knots can mean the difference between a podium finish and a devastating capsize.
As the fleet prepares to descend on the island, the message from the organizers is clear: do not wait. Whether you are a die-hard sailing enthusiast or a newcomer to the sport, the APEX Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix promises a sporting spectacle unlike any other.
The APEX Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix takes place May 9-10. Tickets are available now at SailGP.com/Bermuda.
