The Ritz-Carlton Launches SailGP Experiences in New York

The Ritz-Carlton Partners with U.S. SailGP Team for New York Race Weekend

The Ritz-Carlton has announced a series of SailGP-themed experiences in New York City as part of its partnership with the United States SailGP Team ahead of the New York Sail Grand Prix taking place on 30 and 31 May.

The experiences will be hosted at The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad and The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park, offering guests access to race weekend activities connected to the international sailing championship.

SailGP features 13 national teams competing in identical F50 catamarans powered entirely by wind. The New York event will take place on the Hudson River as part of the global racing calendar.

As part of the partnership, The Ritz-Carlton will host a public activation at Conservatory Water in Central Park on 30 May. The one-day event will include radio-controlled sailboat races, live music, themed food offerings and family activities inspired by sailing. Guests will also be able to watch a live broadcast of the SailGP race during the afternoon.

Mike Buckley, Team Principal and CEO of the U.S. SailGP Team, said the partnership helps extend the race weekend experience across New York City while connecting sport, hospitality and culture.

For race day on 31 May, guests staying at participating Ritz-Carlton properties can book “The Ultimate SailGP Experience” package. The package includes accommodation, breakfast, transport to the boarding point and two premium spectator tickets aboard an official viewing vessel positioned along the racecourse in New York Harbor.

George Hammer, Global Head of Luxury Marketing at Marriott International, said the collaboration reflects the company’s focus on connecting guests with major sporting and cultural events through hospitality-led experiences.

The SailGP packages are currently available for booking for a limited period.
