The Miami International Autodrome is set to enhance its offerings for the 2026 FORMULA 1® CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX with the introduction of a five-deck structure designed to resemble a superyacht. According to WSVN, the “MSC Yacht Club” will elevate the trackside hospitality experience when it debuts during the race weekend of May 1-3. Offering views of up to five turns from a single vantage point, the MSC Yacht Club measures 264 feet long, 96 feet wide, and 50 feet tall. The facility will feature multiple lounges, viewing platforms, shaded seating, open-air terraces, and pools for an enhanced race day experience.

Beyond the yacht club, race-goers can expect updates to the surrounding marina, including a renovated general admission area with an elevated viewing platform. These improvements will offer fans a closer view of the action, particularly at one of the track’s most challenging sections. These upgrades are among the most significant since the introduction of the new Paddock Club building in 2023.

As per Motosport, the multi-floor “MSC Yacht Club” at the Miami International Autodrome is designed to offer a luxury hospitality experience. The four-floor structure includes a pool, lounge seating, a Jack Daniel's Bar, and a fine dining option from the French brand Bagatelle with a Chef's Table. The Captain’s Deck provides elevated views over the circuit.

In an interview with Motorsport, Miami GP president Katharina Nowak discussed the MSC Yacht Club’s role in the Grand Prix experience. She noted that the Marina presented by MSC Cruises has been a key feature of the race, and the new yacht club is designed to provide an enhanced and connected viewing experience. Ahead of this year’s Grand Prix, the Miami International Autodrome will offer expanded hospitality and viewing options for attendees.
