MSC Yacht Club To Debut At Miami Grand Prix
MSC Cruises will introduce an all new MSC Yacht Club experience at the 2026 Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix, scheduled for May 1–3 inside Turns 5–9 of the Miami International Autodrome, a company media release said.
The temporary yacht spans five decks, measures 264 feet long, 96 feet wide and 50 feet tall, and covers 32,000 square feet, the release said, adding each deck will offer distinct guest spaces from open air lounges to private cabanas and panoramic viewing points.
Suzanne Salas, EVP, Marketing, eCommerce and Sales for MSC Cruises, said the Yacht Club is a "perfect expression" of the brand, combining innovation, luxury hospitality and world class experiences in one extraordinary setting, the media release reported.
The Yacht Club will include nine exclusive cabanas, a Jack Daniel's bar and shaded viewing platforms, including the Captain's Deck with 360 degree panoramic track views, the release said.
Culinary offerings at the venue will be led by Bagatelle, described as a French Riviera inspired hospitality brand, delivering all day dining and a Chef's Table experience, the company said.
MSC Cruises said the Yacht Club is the largest addition to the event since the Paddock Club opened in 2023, and it will complement a redesigned general admission area featuring an elevated viewing platform inside Turn 7.
The media release also noted the Miami Grand Prix debuted in 2022 and is hosted at the 19 turn, 3.36 mile Miami International Autodrome within the Hard Rock Stadium complex, and it directed readers to f1miamigp.com for more information.
