The much-anticipated Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix, presented by P&O Marinas, is back, set to take over Mina Rashid’s stunning waterfront this weekend, November 23 and 24. As one of the most exhilarating events in the sailing world, this high-octane competition will showcase speed, skill, and entertainment, offering an unforgettable weekend for all attendees.
A Historic Competition on the Waters
This year’s lineup features 11 F50 catamarans, hydro-foiling speed machines capable of hitting 100 km/h. These vessels are not just feats of engineering but are also captained by some of the best athletes in the sport. Adding to the excitement, the event marks a significant milestone: the debut of SailGP’s first female driver, Brazil’s Martine Grael, a two-time Olympic gold medalist. Fans can expect a fierce contest as Italy and Brazil join the race, hoping to make a big impression against seasoned competitors.
Unmissable Shoreside Entertainment

While the sailing action takes center stage, the Grand Prix offers a lot more. Music enthusiasts can groove to live performances by international stars. British rap sensation Tinie Tempah will headline the show on Saturday, while iconic singer-songwriter Craig David will charm the crowd on Sunday. Both artists will perform in the Waterfront Premium Lounge, with broadcasts on large screens throughout the venue.
To keep the atmosphere buzzing, live DJs will spin tracks all day, ensuring an energetic vibe that resonates with the crowd. From the thrilling races to live music, the event guarantees a perfect blend of sport and entertainment.
