SailGP ferry exclusion zone SailGP ferry exclusion zone

SailGP is on this weekend, which means the harbour will be busy! The racecourse is between the Harbour Bridge, Viaduct Harbour and Stanley Point and there will be a lot of spectator boats enjoying the festivities.

To support Team New Zealand and keep everyone safe on the harbour, there is an exclusion zone in place that the racecourse and spectators must stay within. During the races, some of our ferries are unable to run through the exclusion zone and customers will need to take bus alternatives (see alternative transport below).
