Superyachts gather for the 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

The superyacht experience

With a selection of trackside berths offering in-demand views over the action, securing a superyacht is the most glamorous way to soak up the F1 experience.

An Abu Dhabi Grand Prix yacht charter is the most popular option for those who want the luxury of their own superyacht in the heart of the action over the weekend. Host friends, family or clients on board and enjoy five-star service from the crew without having to worry about accommodation.

However, those who choose not to charter can still step on board a superyacht with an F1 hospitality package. Offering access to a superyacht during the races or for one of the glitzy, post-race parties, the packages carry different benefits - but all include gourmet dining, premium drinks and the opportunity to network with other F1 attendees. The evening packages include live music entertainment in a sensational post-race atmosphere.
