SailGP Comes to Rome for the First Time

Rome's inclusion in the 2027 championship calendar marks an important expansion for SailGP in Italy. The event opens a three-year partnership with the City of Rome and the Lazio Region, establishing the capital's coastline as a new destination for international sailing.

Although this will be the championship's first visit to Rome, Italy has previously hosted SailGP in Taranto in 2021 and 2023.

The Rome Grand Prix is scheduled as the tenth event of the 2027 season, following the Spain Sail Grand Prix in Valencia on 4–5 September. With the championship entering its final stages, the Italian round will form part of the competition's build-up towards the season-ending Grand Final.

For the Red Bull Italy SailGP Team, racing off the coast of Rome also brings the opportunity to compete in front of a home crowd.

What to Expect at the Italy Sail Grand Prix 2027

High-speed F50 catamarans and international competition

SailGP is built around identical F50 foiling catamarans, advanced racing boats capable of exceeding 100 km/h in suitable conditions. Their underwater hydrofoils lift the hulls above the surface, reducing drag and allowing the boats to accelerate to extraordinary speeds.

Unlike traditional offshore sailing competitions, SailGP uses compact racecourses designed to bring the action closer to spectators.

National teams compete in short, tactical races where starts, manoeuvres and positioning can decide the outcome. The combination of high speeds and closely matched boats places particular emphasis on teamwork, sailing technique and fast decision-making.

The Rome event will bring this distinctive racing format to the waters off Ostia, with spectators able to follow the competition from a purpose-built waterfront venue.

Porto Turistico di Roma: The Race Venue

The Porto Turistico di Roma, located at Lungomare Duca degli Abruzzi 84 in Ostia, will provide the setting for the inaugural Rome Sail Grand Prix.

Situated on the Tyrrhenian coast, the marina offers a different perspective on Italy's capital, away from the historic city centre and directly beside the Mediterranean Sea.

A dedicated SailGP Race Stadium will be created for the weekend, allowing ticket holders to watch the F50 catamarans compete on the coastal racecourse.

Beyond the racing, organisers are planning a broader spectator experience incorporating food, drinks and entertainment around the venue.

For visitors travelling to Rome, the event also provides an opportunity to explore Ostia's waterfront and combine a major international sporting competition with a stay in the Italian capital.

Two Days of Racing: 11–12 September 2027

The Italy Sail Grand Prix will take place across the weekend, with racing scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday.

The two-day format gives spectators the opportunity to follow the teams as they compete for the event victory and valuable championship points.

The detailed racing timetable and spectator access arrangements should be checked closer to the event, as schedules can depend on operational and weather conditions.
