Abu Dhabi Grand Prix VIP packages 2026: every F1 VIP option at Yas Marina
Over a decade in luxury hospitality, with Odyssia hosting guests trackside at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2025.
The short answer: F1 VIP in Abu Dhabi means one of four things. Premium hospitality tickets from the organiser, the Paddock Club above the team garages, a VIP day pass on a megayacht moored trackside in Yas Marina, or a private superyacht for your own group. Odyssia hosts the last two, from AED 7,500 per person per day, for the 2026 Grand Prix, Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December.
Hosting your own group? Discover our F1 yacht charter in Abu Dhabi: a private superyacht trackside for the whole race weekend, 20 to 200 guests.
What counts as an F1 VIP package in Abu Dhabi?
Abu Dhabi is the season finale, and Yas Marina Circuit is built around a marina. That gives VIP guests a choice you rarely find at other races: watch from a hospitality suite at the circuit, or from the water, a few metres from the track. Every VIP option sells out early for the finale, so most groups book in October and November.
