Impact Report
SAIL 2025 brought together more than 2.5 million visitors, thousands of crew members, and partners from around the world. The event served not only as a celebration of connection on the water, but also as a living lab for sustainability, inclusion, talent development, and innovation.
In the SAIL Impact Report 2025, we share the key insights, results, collaborations, and experiments realized during SAIL. The report demonstrates how a large-scale event can contribute to societal impact and offers valuable lessons for cities, ports, governments, businesses, educational and research institutions, and the events industry.

A triple anniversary that warmed the hearts of many. It is inspiring to see how so many ‘wavemakers’ made SAIL possible and, as this Impact Report demonstrates, helped elevate the event to a new level.
