YOUR BRAND DESERVES AN OCEAN OF EXPOSURE

Offshore racing isn't just a sport — it's a global media spectacle. Here's why the world's smartest brands are investing in ocean racing.

01
Global Visibility, Zero Ad Fatigue
Your logo sails across oceans, photographed by helicopters and drones, broadcast on international sports networks, and shared across millions of social feeds. Unlike digital ads people skip, a branded racing yacht is content people actively seek out.
02
Premium, Affluent Audience
Offshore sailing attracts a highly educated, high-net-worth audience — decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and adventure enthusiasts. This is a demographic that traditional advertising struggles to reach, and they're deeply engaged.
03
3-Year Story Arc
This isn't a one-off sponsorship. Vortex Sailing is a multi-year campaign building from qualifiers to a round-the-world race. Your brand joins a narrative — with tension, triumph, and thousands of hours of authentic content.
04
Authentic Brand Values
Align your brand with courage, innovation, sustainability, and peak human performance. Offshore racing embodies the values today's consumers admire most — resilience and the pursuit of something greater.
05

More Than Racing

INSPIRING THE
NEXT GENERATION

At the heart of the Vortex Sailing project is a commitment that goes beyond podiums and ocean miles. We are dedicated to using offshore racing as a platform to inspire young sailors — giving kids access to the sea, to sport, and to the life-changing lessons that come from competing on the water.

Your sponsorship doesn't just put a logo on a hull — it helps fund youth sailing access, training opportunities, and a passion for the ocean that can shape a child's entire future.

Youth Sailing Access
Supporting programmes that give young sailors from all backgrounds the chance to learn, race, and grow — removing the financial and logistical barriers to the sport.
🧭
Mentorship on the Water
Our crew — including elite advisor Louis Burton and coach Geoff Moore — are deeply committed to sharing knowledge, mentoring young talent, and building the next generation of offshore sailors.
🌊
Ocean Awareness & Education
We believe the ocean teaches what classrooms can't — resilience, teamwork, navigation, and respect for nature. We work to bring these lessons to young people on and off the water.
