Explora Journeys Swiss SailGP Team Unveils New Visual Identity In Bermuda

Explora Journeys

Explora Journeys, the luxury ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, marked an important milestone in its partnership with the Explora Journeys Swiss SailGP Team at the Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix, as the team raced for the first time under full Explora Journeys branding.

The Bermuda event saw the debut of Explora Journeys’ new team visual identity on water, with a fully Explora Journeys‑branded F50 catamaran and crew kit unveiled on the race course. Drawing on the brand’s refined design language and Ocean State of Mind, the new livery introduced a sleek, premium aesthetic inspired by Explora Journeys’ fleet, applied to one of the most advanced high‑performance racing platforms in global sport.

“The unveiling of our new visual identity in Bermuda is a proud moment in our journey with the Swiss SailGP Team,” said Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. “This new look is a powerful expression of our shared values, combining the technical mastery of elite racing with the purposeful luxury of Explora Journeys. Even in the heat of competition, our shared commitment to excellence remains performance-led and Swiss-born. We are building a consistent profile at the nexus of luxury and sport, united by our values on the water.”

Led by Swiss driver Sébastien Schneiter, the Swiss team delivered a disciplined and competitive performance, continuing its steady progression in a championship often described as Formula 1 on water. As one of the youngest teams in the SailGP fleet, and among the few to have recorded speeds exceeding 100 km/h, the Explora Journeys Swiss SailGP Team demonstrated continued technical development, staying true to their guiding principle: ‘Defined by the Ocean. Driven by Precision.’

Bermuda holds special meaning for the team as the location of their first SailGP race three years ago. Returning to these waters marks a symbolic new beginning with Explora Journeys as Title Partner.

“Seeing the boat out there in full Explora Journeys colours for the first time was a really special moment for all of us,” said Sébastien Schneiter, Swiss SailGP Team driver. “It has brought a new energy to the team; you feel the pride, but also the responsibility. We’re excited about what we’re building together with our Title Partner Explora Journeys, and at the same time we’re staying very focused on the process, on improving every race and pushing our boundaries.”

As Title Partner, Explora Journeys continues to strengthen long‑term global brand visibility through SailGP, engaging international audiences across some of the world’s most iconic coastal destinations. The partnership now looks ahead to the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix at the end of May, followed by the events in Halifax, Portsmouth, Sassnitz, Valencia and Saint-Tropez, before the first ever Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix in Geneva in September 2026.
