Formula 1 weekend in Miami isn’t just a race — it’s a full-throttle celebration of speed, luxury, and the sea. Here’s how to experience it all, FYI Yachts style.
Your three-part VIP itinerary
Race Day · Hard Rock Stadium
Feel the Speed at the Miami Grand Prix
There is nothing quite like the electric atmosphere of the Miami Grand Prix at Hard Rock Stadium. The roar of the engines, the heat rising off the tarmac, the precision of every pit stop — it’s a world-class event that demands a world-class experience to match.
Book access to a hospitality suite or paddock club for the full behind-the-scenes treatment. Watch qualifying, soak in the pre-race pageantry, and position yourself in the grandstands for the start — because nothing compares to that first lap flyby.
Race day tips
- Arrive early for paddock walk access and team garage views
- Paddock Club hospitality suites offer open bar, gourmet catering, and track views
- The race typically runs ~90 minutes — plan to leave with time for your sunset departure
Late Afternoon · Biscayne Bay
Golden Hour on the Water: Your Private Sunset Cruise
Trade the racetrack for Biscayne Bay. As the afternoon light turns golden over Miami’s skyline, step aboard your private charter and let the city slow down around you. A sunset cruise following race day is the perfect counterbalance — from 200mph to zero, from the roar of the crowd to the sound of waves against the hull.
Sip chilled rosé on the bow as you glide past the Miami Beach skyline and watch the sky shift from blue to burnt orange. Your captain handles everything — you just enjoy the show from the best seat on the water.
What to expect
- Departure from Bayside Marina or a private dock of your choice
- 2–3 hour cruise along Biscayne Bay and Star Island
- Catered charcuterie, cocktails, and champagne service on board
- Optional water toys: jet skis, paddle boards, and snorkeling gear
Evening · Miami Waterfront
Dinner Worthy of the Weekend: VIP Dining Ashore
After a day at the track and a sunset on the water, the evening calls for a dining experience that matches the moment. Miami’s waterfront restaurant scene comes alive during F1 weekend, with private chefs, exclusive menus, and tables that are near-impossible to secure — unless you know the right people.
Consider a private chef experience aboard your yacht for an intimate dinner under the stars, or reserve a coveted table at one of Miami’s elite waterfront venues. The F1 energy spills into every corner of the city’s dining scene — expect celebrity sightings, curated menus, and service that sets the bar as high as the weekend itself.
Top options
- Private chef aboard your charter — a fully personalized, multi-course experience on deck
- Waterfront fine dining in Brickell or Miami Beach for the city’s electric race weekend atmosphere
- Request a custom pairing menu tied to the F1 weekend from your preferred venue
“Miami Grand Prix weekend only comes once a year. Make every hour count — on the track, on the water, and at the table.”
