A Monaco GP yacht day pass is the most-misunderstood ticket of the weekend. It costs €890 to €4,000+ per person, but it is not a yacht charter, you do not get a cabin, and the price gap reflects berth zone, not yacht size. Below: what the ticket actually buys, how to verify you are paying for the right zone, and a realistic minute-by-minute day on board.

What a yacht day pass actually is
A yacht day pass is hospitality on someone else’s superyacht for one day or one evening during GP weekend. Third-party operators (Senate Grand Prix, F1 Experiences, Red Eye Events, Amber Lounge, Octagon, Quintessentially) charter the yachts from owners, install a hospitality team, and sell tickets to guests.
You arrive at Port Hercule mid-morning (race day) or early evening (Friday or Saturday). You spend the day or evening on the deck and in the salon. You eat from a buffet, drink from an open bar, and watch the racing from the boat or on screens inside the salon. Around late afternoon (race day) or 1am (evening) you leave.
Berth zones explained: why the price varies so much
Monaco’s Port Hercule is divided into berthing zones during GP weekend. A back-row yacht and a front-row yacht might be the same brand and size, but the ticket prices differ by 3 to 4 times. Here is what each zone gives you.
T-Pit / Antoine 1er (front row trackside)
Yachts berthed directly along the track on the start-finish straight and the pit zone. The strongest visual view: cars at 290 km/h on the straight, the pit lane below you, the swimming pool chicane just to the right.
Quai Albert 1er / mid-row
Second-row berths, with a partial view of the start-finish and the swimming pool section. Most yachts in this zone overlook the front row. You see cars between deck-level obstructions.
Quai des Etats-Unis (back row)
Yachts berthed further from the track. You hear the cars clearly. You see them only briefly through the boat-line gaps. Most guests watch the broadcast on board and step out for the start and finish.
Important: yacht brand and luxury level barely change the price. A 30m superyacht and a 70m superyacht in the same back-row zone will sell day passes at similar rates. You are paying for the berth, not the boat.
What is included (and what is not)
Included in a standard day pass

How to verify a legitimate yacht day pass
The yacht hospitality market includes some operators who oversell back-row berths as front-row, or sell access to yachts that turn out to be 30 metres further from the track than advertised. Three checks before you pay.
- Ask for the yacht name. A legitimate operator will tell you. If they refuse “for confidentiality”, walk away.
- Ask for the berth ID or zone. Monaco publishes the GP berthing map. Cross-check the zone before paying.
- Verify the operator. Use accredited names: Amber Lounge, Senate Grand Prix, F1 Experiences, Red Eye Events, Octagon, Quintessentially. New operators with no GP track record warrant caution.
- Check the refund and substitution policy. If the yacht becomes unavailable, what happens? Substitute yachts in the same zone are acceptable. A refund-only policy means real risk if your yacht swaps zones at the last minute.
- Pay by credit card, not bank transfer. Card disputes are recoverable; transfers are not.
