Yas Marina guide for the F1 Grand Prix
Over a decade in luxury hospitality, with Odyssia hosting guests trackside at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2025.
Yas Marina sits inside the Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The track wraps around the marina, the cars race under the hotel that straddles the circuit, and during the Grand Prix weekend the marina fills with superyachts. This guide covers where the yachts berth, how access works and how to get there.
