Customised corporate hospitality packages offered to experience KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix

Businesses looking for a different and exhilarating start to 2023 for clients, partners, prospects or staff can now access a host of concierge-curated premium experiences to one of the events this summer on Sydney Harbour – the KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix in Sydney over the weekend of 18th-19th February.

An invitation to SailGP in Sydney provides an innovative and highly appealing platform to entertain, engage, reward, recognise and build relationships. Packages can be tailored to match an organisation’s specific requirements, numbers and budget. From superyachts on Sydney Harbour to Genesis Island located in the centre of the race course, there are multiple options available for a customised second-to-none premium hospitality proposition.

Now in its third season, and hosted in popular cities around the world, SailGP is a preeminent purpose-led global sports and entertainment platform designed around fans. The spectator experience is truly world class with high-quality content and entertainment. SailGP is the world’s most exciting racing on water – national battles, fierce rivalries, close action and the best athletes in the sport racing identical high-tech hydro foiling F50 catamarans that fly above the water at speeds approaching 100 km/h.

There are many shared elements that make a corporate alignment with SailGP synergistic. As a league, SailGP champions leadership, teamwork, technology, mentorship and sustainability as core to success. Led by Olympian Tom Slingsby, the Australian team is recognised as one of the most innovative, successful and progressive in the global league, known for their grit and determination and stunning manoeuvres to seize victory. The Australia Team have been crowned Champions of the last two seasons and are in the running to win for the third time in a row.

Packages can be customised to a specific brief from a variety of available fan experiences including:

GENESIS ISLAND (SHARK ISLAND)

The best land-based view of the close-to-shore racing, Genesis Island brings together an exclusive waterfront premium experience to view all of the heart-pumping action on the water. With a great party vibe yet family-friendly, this all-inclusive experience includes a generous gourmet picnic hamper, two open bars with premium beverages, big screens for action replays and live race commentary, DJ, pre- and post- racing entertainment and boat transfers from the SailGP Village at Barangaroo. Packages can be created to include private water transfers, reserved corporate area, dedicated host, table service and SailGP gifts for groups of 10-20 people starting from $485 per person per day.

Packages can be created for corporate groups with an exclusive reserved area, upgraded menu and beverages, SailGP gift and VIP boarding for groups of 10-20 people starting from $420 per person per day.

SAILGP TEAM BASE TOURS

Barangaroo will be the home of the SailGP technical area and 'pit lane garages' and where the race boats are craned in and out of the water each day. For a rare chance to see the elite SailGP athletes from nine national teams and their shore crews at work preparing their supercharged high-tech F50 race boats, a limited number of exclusive 45-minute team base tours with expert commentary led by a champion sailor or Olympian are on offer. Maximum group size is 20 people at $50 per person (subject to availability).

SAILGP ADRENALINE YACHTS PROGRAM

Purchase a flag that provides permission to moor inside the public exclusion zone over three days including the practice day and two days of racing. Flag prices begin at $1000 and are based on vessel size.

Charter options start from 10 guests with pricing based on the vessel size, number of attendees and hospitality inclusions. Optional extras can include live onboard race commentary, corporate branding, SailGP gift or the addition of a team base tour. A selection of opportunities are available with the possibility to also book exclusive areas on larger vessels shared with other clients.

SAILGP VILLAGE AT BARANGAROO

While racing happens on the water, everything else happens at Barangaroo where the SailGP technical area and team bases are located. The SailGP Village is the central location where all fan experiences depart from and return to, as well as the hub for other event activities before and after racing from Q&A sessions with athletes to a pop-up bar and entertainment. Barangaroo is also home to a number of excellent restaurants and dining experiences with SailGP partner venues can be included in hospitality packages.
