The Miami International Autodrome is enhancing its hospitality offerings for the upcoming 2026 FORMULA 1® CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX. The venue will introduce the luxurious “MSC Yacht Club,” a five-deck structure designed to resemble a superyacht, during the race weekend from May 1-3, 2026. This new facility aims to elevate the trackside experience for attendees, providing remarkable views of multiple turns from a single location.
Measuring 264 feet long, 96 feet wide, and 50 feet tall, the MSC Yacht Club will feature a variety of amenities, including multiple lounges, viewing platforms, shaded seating areas, open-air terraces, and pools. These enhancements are designed to create a premium race day atmosphere, allowing fans to enjoy the event in comfort and style.
Upgrades to the Surrounding Marina
In addition to the yacht club, the Miami International Autodrome will implement updates to the surrounding marina, including a renovated general admission area with an elevated viewing platform. These improvements will provide spectators with closer access to the action, particularly at one of the circuit’s most challenging sections. These developments represent significant advancements since the introduction of the new Paddock Club building in 2023.
According to Motorsport, the MSC Yacht Club is a multi-floor structure that promises an upscale hospitality experience. The facility includes a pool, lounge seating, a Jack Daniel’s Bar, and a fine dining option from the renowned French brand Bagatelle, featuring a Chef’s Table. The Captain’s Deck will offer elevated views over the circuit, enhancing the overall spectator experience.
