Watch the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix from a yacht
Over a decade in luxury hospitality, with Odyssia hosting guests trackside at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2025.
Yas Marina is one of the few places in Formula 1 where superyachts sit right next to the circuit. From the deck, the cars pass metres away, the grandstands face you across the track and, when the sun goes down, the race weekend carries on with dinner, DJs and the after-race concerts. Here is how it works for the 2026 season finale, Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December.
Why watch the Grand Prix from a yacht
- Trackside, on the marina front, with the cars just metres away
- Your own space for the day: lounges, sundeck, shade and air conditioning
- Live race coverage on screens on board, so nobody misses a lap
- Fine dining, free-flowing Champagne and entertainment from 1 pm to 2 am
- After-race concerts on Grand Prix nights
- With a private yacht, the option to stay overnight
Two ways to watch from the water
1. Hospitality packages, for one guest or a few
Book individual packages aboard our 65-metre hospitality superyacht at Berth 40, one of the most dramatic corners of the circuit. Choose one day, or Saturday and Sunday together. No need to charter a full yacht.
| Package | Sessions | Price per person |
|---|---|---|
| Friday 4 December | Practice 1 and Practice 2 | AED 7,500 |
| Saturday 5 December | Practice 3 and Qualifying | AED 15,000 |
| Sunday 6 December | The Grand Prix | AED 25,000 |
| Saturday + Sunday | Qualifying and race day | AED 30,000 |
Prices in AED, subject to 5% VAT. Multi-day packages can be used by a different guest each day.
Every package includes:
- Access to the 65-metre superyacht at Berth 40 and to Yas Marina, 1 pm to 2 am
- Gourmet dining with free-flowing Champagne, fine wines and premium spirits
- Live onboard entertainment and DJ sets
- Live race coverage on giant screens across the lounges
- Private buggy transfers
- After-race concert access
2. A private superyacht, for your whole group
Charter your own yacht for the full race weekend and host 20 to 200 guests in a private environment, with your programme, your catering and your branding. Our fleet for 2026:
- 20–50 guests: Numarine Dolce Vita, Khalili
- 50–100 guests: Saffuriya, Santorini, Sensation
- 100–200 guests: Benetti 50M, Behike, Encore, Thunder, Lucien, Grace
Private yachts are chartered for the full weekend from AED 800,000 + VAT. Marina access for your guests and after-race concert access are included, with the allocation depending on the yacht. See the corporate packages to compare.
What you see from the deck
The track-view berths sit along the south-west of the marina, facing the circuit. Our yachts are moored on that marina front, with prime or direct track views depending on the berth. On Friday you watch practice, on Saturday qualifying, and on Sunday the Grand Prix itself, which starts at 17:00 and finishes under the lights. Find the berths in our Yas Marina guide and the full timings in the race weekend schedule.

Questions
How do I book a yacht to watch the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?
Send your guest count and preferred days through the request form on odyssia.ae/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-private-yacht or on WhatsApp at +971 55 770 2406. Odyssia replies within 24 hours with availability and a proposal: hospitality packages from AED 7,500 per person, or a private superyacht for 20 to 200 guests for the full weekend, 4 to 6 December 2026 at Yas Marina.
How far in advance should I book a yacht for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?
As early as possible. Track-view berths at Yas Marina and hospitality packages are limited, and the best yachts go first. For a private yacht with branding or a custom menu, booking several weeks ahead leaves time to prepare everything.
Can you watch the F1 race from a yacht in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. The superyachts are moored trackside in Yas Marina, metres from the circuit, so guests follow practice, qualifying and the race from the decks, with live race coverage on screens on board.
How much does it cost to watch the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from a yacht?
Hospitality packages start at AED 7,500 per person for Friday, AED 15,000 for Saturday and AED 25,000 for race day. Saturday + Sunday is AED 30,000, saving AED 10,000, plus 5% VAT. A private yacht for the full weekend starts from AED 800,000 + VAT, yacht, berth, passes and crew included.
Does a yacht hospitality package include a grandstand seat?
No. The package covers the superyacht and Yas Marina. You follow the race trackside from the yacht.
What time are guests on board?
From 1 pm to 2 am each day of the race weekend. With a private yacht, you can also stay overnight.
Can I book just race day?
Yes. Packages are available for Friday, Saturday or Sunday on their own, or for Saturday and Sunday together.
