MSC Yacht Club Superyacht Venue Will Anchor Reimagined Marina Hospitality at the 2026 Miami Grand Prix

A new trackside hospitality structure is planned for May 1–3 at Hard Rock Stadium

Organizers of the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix have announced a new premium hospitality venue for the 2026 race weekend: the MSC Yacht Club, a purpose-built, superyacht-inspired structure set to become the central feature of the event’s reworked Marina area at Miami International Autodrome.

The Miami Grand Prix is scheduled for May 1–3, 2026, at the Hard Rock Stadium campus in Miami Gardens. The new venue is positioned to overlook a busy section of the circuit, with sightlines spanning multiple corners across Turns 5 through 9.

What the MSC Yacht Club is and where it will sit on the circuit

The MSC Yacht Club is described as a multi-level hospitality complex designed to resemble a modern superyacht. Plans call for a structure measuring about 264 feet long, 96 feet wide and approximately 50 feet tall at its highest point, with a total footprint of roughly 32,000 square feet distributed across five levels.

It will be integrated into the Marina zone that has been part of the Miami event’s identity since the race debuted in 2022. Race officials have framed the new build as the most significant new hospitality addition since a new Paddock Club facility was introduced ahead of the 2023 event.

Food, viewing decks and cabanas: what’s expected inside

The venue is planned as a tiered, trackside experience with multiple decks offering distinct viewing angles and hospitality settings. The culinary program is expected to be a centerpiece, with dining curated by the hospitality brand Bagatelle across the weekend.

• Five levels of guest areas designed for different viewing and lounge formats
• An open-air deck with a pool and lounge seating
• Reserved shaded seating areas with track-facing views
• A top “captain’s deck” designed for panoramic views
• Nine private cabanas positioned close to on-track action

Changes beyond premium guests: a new general-admission platform

Alongside the MSC Yacht Club buildout, the Marina redesign also includes a new general-admission viewing area with an elevated platform near Turn 7. The addition is intended to create another higher-sightline option for fans in a section of the campus that has historically been associated with the Marina concept.

The Miami event has expanded rapidly since its 2022 debut and is contracted to remain on the Formula 1 calendar through 2041.

Why it matters for the Miami Grand Prix weekend

The announcement underscores the Miami Grand Prix’s strategy of pairing racing with destination-style hospitality infrastructure. For 2026, the new superyacht venue formalizes and enlarges the Marina concept with a single, purpose-built structure, while also adding at least one new elevated viewing option for general-admission spectators within the same complex of corners.
