Beyond 'super': unique yacht design with Burgess
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix by superyacht
Published 31 October 2025
Watch F1 from the comfort of your aft deck with an Abu Dhabi Grand Prix yacht charter. The Abu Dhabi GP is not only the last race of the season, therefore serving up a healthy portion of closing parties, but it’s also one of only three day-night championship Grand Prix races on the F1 calendar. Action takes place under the floodlit gaze of the Yas Marina Circuit, as drivers jostle for poll position and international DJs spin the decks into the night.
When is the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?
Each year, an unmissable 58 laps of high-speed action take place in the state-of-the-art city, just a 30-minute drive from the city and a 15-minute drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport. The 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is set to take place on Yas Island on Sunday 7 December.
Front-row views at Yas Marina Circuit
Abu Dhabi’s man-made Yas Island provides a spectacular backdrop for the only Grand Prix race in the United Arab Emirates. It gives yachts unrivalled access to trackside action, making it one of only two F1 races that can be enjoyed from a yacht with unrivalled vantage points of the tightest turns. Yachts measuring 90m and less can access the trackside waterway and fight over the best berths.
For larger yachts measuring up to 175m, there are six berths available outside of the marina but, due to their limited availability, early reservation is highly recommended for those planning on making an entrance aboard a 100m+ yacht. Whether you're chartering a yacht or looking for a berth for your own vessel for the Grand Prix, our Burgess experts can help you with all the necessary arrangements – get in touch.
The 5.281km Yas Marina is where 190mph thrills meet the roar of Formula 1, the scent of burnt rubber, and the iconic F1 engine whine. Its modern marina offers a prime selection of berths for visiting yachts, with the coveted track-view spots providing unrivaled access to the action. A total of 227 fully serviced wet berths accommodate superyachts from 8–90 m, while 93 dry berths for 7–12 m boats let guests soak up the atmosphere, watch the race on large screens, and stay close to all the pit-lane excitement.
Yachts available to charter for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
