Saturday 5 December is qualifying day: the last practice session, then the fight for pole position under the lights. It is often the best-value day of the weekend on a yacht: real tension on track, a lively evening and a lower price than race day.

Saturday on board

  • AED 15,000 per person, plus 5% VAT
  • Practice 3 and qualifying, followed live on screens and from the deck
  • From 1 pm to 2 am, free-flowing Champagne, lunch and dinner
  • Add Sunday for AED 15,000 more: AED 30,000 for both days

Why Saturday works so well

Qualifying is short and intense, every lap counts, and the grid for Sunday is decided in front of you. Once the session ends, the evening on board is relaxed and social, without the rush of race day. It is the day we recommend to guests who want one day only and a balance between racing and celebration.

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
