How much does a yacht cost at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026?
Over a decade in luxury hospitality, with Odyssia hosting guests trackside at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2025.
There are two ways to be on a yacht at Yas Marina for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: buy a hospitality package on a shared superyacht, priced per person per day, or charter a private superyacht for your own group for the whole weekend. Here are the 2026 prices, what you get for them and what moves the price of a private yacht.
The short answer
With Odyssia, hospitality on a trackside superyacht starts at AED 7,500 per person for Friday and reaches AED 25,000 for race day, plus 5% VAT. A private superyacht for 20 to 200 guests is chartered for the full weekend, Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December 2026, from AED 800,000 + VAT, yacht, berth, passes and crew included.
Hospitality packages: price per person
| Package | Sessions | Per person | With 5% VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 4 December | Practice 1 and 2 | AED 7,500 | AED 7,875 |
| Saturday 5 December | Practice 3 and qualifying | AED 15,000 | AED 15,750 |
| Sunday 6 December | The Grand Prix | AED 25,000 | AED 26,250 |
| Saturday + Sunday | Qualifying and race day | AED 30,000 | AED 31,500 |
Multi-day packages can be used by a different guest each day, which works well for companies inviting several clients.
What the package price includes
- The 65-metre superyacht at Berth 40 and Yas Marina, from 1 pm to 2 am
- Gourmet dining with free-flowing Champagne
- DJ sets, entertainment and live race coverage on screens on board
- Private buggy transfers on site and after-race concert access
Not included: race tickets and grandstand seats. You follow the cars trackside from the deck. That is 13 hours on board, so the Friday package works out at under AED 600 per hour with everything included.
Private superyacht: what decides the price
A private yacht is chartered for the full three-day weekend and priced on your brief. Five things make the difference:
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size of the yacht | Our 2026 fleet runs from 32 metres for about 40 guests to 60 metres for up to 200 |
| Berth and view | Direct track-view berths are the most requested and the first to go |
| Number of guests | Sets the catering, the bar and the service team |
| Food and drinks | From a relaxed buffet to a chef-led menu by Roberto’s, with free-flowing Champagne and fine wines |
| Branding and production | Flags, welcome signage, DJ, entertainment, photographers |
See the yachts, their size and their berths in the Yas Marina guide and the private fleet. We send a tailored proposal within 24 hours.
Package or private yacht?
- Just you or a few guests: hospitality packages, choosing the days that matter to you
- A team, clients or a big celebration: a private superyacht, with your own programme, menu and branding
- Companies inviting clients one by one: weekend packages shared between guests, see corporate F1 hospitality
How to get the best price
Book early: track-view berths and packages are limited, and the best yachts go first. Friday is the best value day, with the same hospitality as the rest of the weekend. For groups, a private yacht shared across the weekend often costs less per guest than individual packages. Compare the options with circuit tickets and the Paddock Club.
