Experience the incredible high-adrenaline racing of SailGP, sailing’s pinnacle league, when 10 national teams – racing cutting-edge, flying sailboats capable of speeds in excess of 60 mph – turn the Chicago lakefront into a racecourse at the United States Sail Grand Prix at Chicago Navy Pier, June 18-19, 2022.
Navy Pier has partnered with SailGP to provide the city a central event village for the spectator-focused racing including ticketed viewing areas, entertainment, and on-shore and on-water VIP hospitality opportunities.
Located just a few feet away from the water’s edge, the waterfront spectator experience will offer stunning views of the high-speed foiling F50 catamarans as they take flight on Lake Michigan. Waterfront Access guests will be treated to live race commentary, big screens, concession stands, an awards ceremony, and a dedicated fan shop stocking league and team merchandise, including must-haves such as caps, tote bags, limited edition event t-shirts and much more.
Watch all the action from an elevated position in the bleachers. Situated in an exclusive part of the race village, from this vantage point you will have spectacular views of Lake Michigan, and a front row seat to the big screens accompanied by live race commentary. You can also enjoy a complimentary meal & drink from one of our concessions partners.
The Waterfront Platinum environment is undoubtedly the place to be for any adrenaline sports enthusiast while on land. Adding an extra layer of luxury to our Premium experience, Platinum guests will also be treated to complimentary drinks, premium dining, and the best seats in the house, at the exclusive outer ring of the Aon Grand Ballroom.
Powered by Nature™, SailGP is adrenaline-fueled racing as eight teams go head-to-head in iconic venues across the globe for a winner-takes-all $1 million prize.
