Waterside with SailGP for the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix

Image

As SailGP‘s catering provider for the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix, Great Performances was an integral part of the experience, providing their signature genuine hospitality to the most exciting racing on water. Speareheaded by Gary Bedigan, Senior Event Director, and Kevin Jaeger, Event Producer, Great Performances catered each bespoke hospitality experience on Governors Island for SailGP’s VIP and VVIP guests, which included team owners, partners, and high-profile individuals. Great Performances also provided crew catering for SailGP’s athletes and crew at Liberty Landing Marina in New Jersey, serving the team 2-3 hot meals almost every day for two weeks as SailGP’s tent team constructed the tech site, creating the “pit row” equivalent for the league. In addition to crew catering, Great Performances provided the on-water meals for SailGP’s athletes during Race Days, lunch for media members, and service for a few one-off events in New Jersey.
