Monaco F1 yacht packages — hospitality on the water
The Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix is the only race on the F1 calendar run through a live city, wrapped around a harbour full of yachts. A Monaco F1 yacht package puts you inside that harbour — with the circuit passing on three sides — for the race weekend.
LYC Monaco assembles the whole package: the yacht, the berth or anchor position, the Paddock Club or Team Hospitality credentials where wanted, the hotel suites for the party's shore-side base, the private aviation transfers, the dining ashore. One brief, one Monaco desk, one concierge managing everything from the first enquiry to the drivers' parade.
The rest of this page covers what an F1 yacht package includes, the different berth positions, the price structure, and how to enquire.
What a Monaco F1 yacht package includes
The yacht. A private motor yacht (or in some cases sailing yacht) with full professional crew, chartered under the MYBA agreement for the race weekend — typically Wednesday evening to Monday morning, giving four nights on board.
The berth or anchor position. Berths inside Port Hercule (T-jetty, Yacht Club de Monaco quay, Quai des États-Unis) with direct circuit views. Or anchored positions just outside the port entrance for larger yachts that can't berth inside.
Chef and provisioning. Full APA-covered provisioning against your dietary preferences, race-day breakfast service on the aft deck, formal dinner options on board each evening.
Race credentials (add-on). Paddock Club (Turn 12 or Piscine), Team Hospitality, general grandstand — all sourced through official F1 hospitality partners and bundled into the package.
Shore programme (add-on). Hotel suites for parts of the party not overnighting on the yacht, private helicopter transfers Nice ↔ Monaco Fontvieille, private security, restaurant bookings at Louis XV, Beefbar, Zelo's and Nikki Beach.
Race-weekend berth positions
T-jetty (port mouth). The premier position — 60m+ yachts stern-to on the jetty at the harbour entrance. Best sightlines to the swimming-pool complex and tabac corner. Berth supplements set by the port authority.
Yacht Club de Monaco quay (eastern side). Members-club protocol for flagship yachts. Direct line of sight to the swimming-pool chicane and the exit onto the pit straight.
Quai des États-Unis (western side). Mid-size yachts stern-to. Excellent views of the pit-straight, la Rascasse and the swimming-pool section.
Quai Louis II. Additional berths on the harbour's south side, popular with 30–50m yachts. Good views of the tabac corner.
At anchor (outside the port). For yachts unable to secure a berth inside, an anchor position just outside the harbour mouth. Sightlines to the T-jetty and Rascasse; race audio via harbour PA. Cheaper than a berth and often the only option booked late.

Booking your F1 yacht package
Enquire as early as possible — the most-requested yachts and best berths are typically committed 9–12 months before race weekend. A brief covering dates, party size, whether you want race credentials as well as the yacht, and any preferred berth position lets us test availability across the market.
We return a shortlist of three to five yacht + berth combinations within one working day, plus an indicative Paddock Club allocation for the year. Once you confirm, the MYBA agreement is drafted, the berth is reserved with the port authority, and the credentials are held with the F1 hospitality partner.
For guests who want the F1 experience without the full package, our Monaco Grand Prix yacht tickets page covers the ticket-only offering, and watch Monaco Grand Prix from a yacht covers race-day-only berthed hospitality.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Monaco F1 yacht package?+
A Monaco F1 yacht package bundles yacht hospitality (a berth or anchor position with grandstand views of the circuit) with grand prix credentials — Paddock Club, Team Hospitality, or Formula E-Prix tickets where applicable — plus optional hotel, private aviation and dining. LYC Monaco assembles the whole package from one Monaco address.
What race sessions can you watch from a yacht?+
Every session of the race weekend — Thursday practice, Friday support races, Saturday qualifying, Sunday race — is visible and audible from a yacht in Port Hercule or anchored just outside. The chicane, tabac corner and the pit-lane straight all sit on or above the water. Track camera angles you don't see on television.
How much does a Monaco F1 yacht package cost?+
A three-night package on a 30–40m yacht with race-weekend berth in Port Hercule starts around €200,000–€350,000. Larger yachts and packages including Paddock Club credentials run €400,000–€700,000+. The T-jetty and Yacht Club de Monaco quay berths carry additional supplements set by the port authority.
How many guests can a Monaco F1 yacht package accommodate?+
Overnight capacity is capped at 12 guests by Mediterranean maritime law regardless of yacht length. Day-use guest counts (for the race sessions themselves) can be much higher — 60–100+ on a 60m+ mega yacht, subject to yacht owner approval and the yacht's day-use certificate.
When do I need to book?+
The race weekend is the single most sought-after week in the Mediterranean charter calendar. Book 9–12 months ahead for berthed yachts, and immediately after the following year's race calendar is published (typically October) for the most requested hulls. Late enquiries are placeable at anchor rather than berthed, at reduced cost.
Are Paddock Club credentials included?+
Not by default — they're an add-on. LYC Monaco holds an allocation of Paddock Club (Turn 12 or Piscine) and Team Hospitality credentials each year, sourced from official F1 hospitality partners. We bundle them into the yacht package on request.
