If you love high-speed racing, world-class hospitality, and crystal-clear waters, there is a new destination to add to your calendar this spring. On May 1–2, 2027, the Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix is taking over Bermuda’s famous Great Sound. And at just a 2-hour direct flight from Miami International Airport (MIA), swapping South Florida for Bermuda’s iconic pink sands is easier than heading to the Keys.
While Miami is no stranger to luxury and fast boats, Bermuda offers a totally unique, elevated island vibe—combining British charm, pristine waters, and high-adrenaline ocean racing for the ultimate quick long-weekend getaway.

What makes SailGP an absolute must-see?
SailGP is not traditional sailing—it is the apex of high-tech stadium motorsport on the ocean.
Intense Waterfront Action: The races are short, fast, and dramatic, offering stadium-style viewing right from the edge of the water.
Mind-Blowing Speeds: National teams go head-to-head on identical F50 hydrofoil catamarans. These state-of-the-art vessels literally fly above the surface of the water, reaching jaw-dropping speeds exceeding 60 mph (4x the speed of the wind!).
Star-Studded Global Rivalries: Watch world-class athletes from the USA, Australia, Great Britain, Italy, Brazil, France, Spain, and more battle intensely close to the shore for a massive global prize purse.

No matter how you prefer to spectate, Bermuda provides a spectator experience like no other.
