SailGP & America's Cup

The marker boats behind the world's fastest racing

Pontoonz pods are used for the marker boats and buoys at every SailGP regatta since 2018, and at the 2017 and 2024 America's Cup. Race management needed marker boats that could take a beating in any harbour in the world.

Marine FAQs

Questions from clubs and race officers

All FAQs

Can marker boats be shipped between venues?

Yes. The pods unbolt and reassemble, so a fleet can be packed down and shipped to the next venue.

Can we have them in our club colours?

Pods come in black, grey, yellow, blue, green, magenta, orange, camo or a custom colour.

Do you supply marinas?

Yes. Float Pod jetties, work barges and service pontoons. Tell us the layout and we'll quote.
