The Extreme Sailing Series will be hosted at Fan Pier, situated directly on 21 acres of the most picturesque waterfront property in Boston, providing excellent viewing points for fans and spectators. Fan Pier is surrounded by the internationally acclaimed Institute of Contemporary Art, LOUIS luxury retail, a myriad of parks, Boston's HarborWalk, and some of the finest new restaurants. Fan Pier is extremely accessible with excellent transport links whether you are arriving by car, train or plane via Logan International Airport.
