If you want the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on a superyacht without the race-day price, Friday 4 December 2026 is the day. The cars are on track for practice, the marina is buzzing and a full day on board costs a third of Sunday.

Friday on board

  • AED 7,500 per person, plus 5% VAT: the lowest price of the weekend
  • Practice 1 and 2 on track, the first sound of the cars in Yas Marina
  • From 1 pm to 2 am, free-flowing Champagne and dining all day
  • A relaxed, social atmosphere, perfect for a first Grand Prix

Who Friday suits

Friday is ideal for a first experience of the race weekend, for a team or client thank-you on a budget, or for residents of Dubai and Abu Dhabi who want the atmosphere after work. Practice sessions are a good way to see the cars at full speed without the crowds of Sunday.

What is included

  • A place on board a 65-metre superyacht moored trackside in Yas Marina, from 1 pm to 2 am
  • Free-flowing Champagne: Champagne, premium spirits and signature cocktails
  • Dining all day, from signature lunch to dinner and after-hours
  • Live race coverage on screens across the indoor and outdoor lounges
  • DJ sets and entertainment on deck, and the celebration after the chequered flag
  • Buggy transfers inside the marina to the yacht

Want more than one day?

Saturday + Sunday is AED 30,000 per person: qualifying and race day on board, saving AED 10,000 on two single days.
