SailGP 2026: Auckland's Waterfront Transformation
The F50 catamarans are back on Waitematā Harbour, and the Black Foils are looking to defend their title on home waters. Auckland has come alive for the SailGP 2026 Grand Final.
Best Viewing Spots
Wynyard Quarter is the official race village, but it's packed. For a more relaxed vibe (and better views of the turning mark), head over to North Head in Devonport or grab a spot along Tamaki Drive.
On the Water
If you're lucky enough to have a boat (or a friend with one), watching from the water is unbeatable. Just make sure to stay outside the exclusion zones!
Boating days can get expensive—fuel, food, drinks, and ramp fees. It's the classic "who pays for what?" scenario.
Splitting the Boat Costs?
Don't let the captain pay for everything. Split fuel and provisions easily.
Splittly is perfect for groups, whether you're on a superyacht or a dinghy.
