A Day On Board Our Yacht At The Monaco Grand Prix

It’s a day of refined tranquil luxury watching some of the most exciting sporting action on the planet, a day to look forward to and remember forever.

If you want glamour, prestige and an unbeatable adrenalin rush, this has to be the best there is – watching the Monaco Grand Prix from a luxury yacht that’s close enough to the action you can virtually feel the whoosh of air as the cars race by at 140mph. You’ll certainly hear the boom of their awe-inspiring power!

Delicious food and drinks served on board complete the millionaire feel of this day. From local French wines to fresh juice and then there’s the amazing food… mouthwatering lobster, quality meats, a variety of excellent cheeses. You won’t want to ever leave the yacht.

First raced in 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix is regarded as the most eminent and esteemed car race in the world. Taking place in May on the Circuit de Monaco, household names such as Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso will drive fast and hard in their Formula One (the highest class of single-seat auto racing) sleek machines.

All the racing-car action is on a slender course created around Monaco’s streets – that mean it’s a treacherous place to race. Only the very best high-speed drivers with their wits and skill fully about them can handle its many twists, turns and the famous tunnel.

Rocket Hospitality’s yacht hospitality excitement starts at Fontvielle Harbour, the next bay from Monaco’s Port Hercules harbour. Keep an eye out here for famous Fontvielle residents such as former Wimbledon tennis champions Björn Borg and Boris Becker; and racing driver such as David Coulthard.

At 8.30am, you’ll make the 10-minute picturesque trip on a RIB lightweight high-performance boat to the harbour in Monaco where some of the most stunning yachts around are moored. A champagne breakfast greets guests to an amazing luxury yacht moored in a prime location in Monaco harbour (and with excellent views of the huge screens that show the build-up, entire race and celebrations afterwards).

Moored in two great locations, Rocket’s yachts view either the super-fast straight between Chicane du Port and Tabac, which is a tricky tight corner taken at about 120mph; or between Tabac and Piscine, a fast left-right section of the course.

There’s a complimentary bar throughout, delicious full gourmet lunch served on board, and friendly bilingual staff on hand to assist with anything to make the day go wonderfully. After the race has been won, at around 5pm it’s either time to return by the RIB boat to Fontvielle Harbour or get off the yacht to explore Monaco from there on foot.

It’s an easy enough place to get around. Neatly tucked away into less than a square mile, the world’s second-smallest country (after Vatican City) officially has a 38,500 population, but those numbers are greatly boosted by tourists who are drawn to Monaco’s splendour. It makes the nightlife absolutely fantastic and the streets are filled with happy party people.

Situated in the French Riviera, surrounded by a lovely landscape and facing into the tantalising turquoise Mediterranean Sea, Monaco enjoys a wonderfully warm climate (and for residents there’s also the attraction of paying no income tax!). Unsurprisingly there’s a fantastic choice of quality places to eat and a wide range of impressive architecture, including the well-known Monte Carlo Casino.

You could even have the chance of becoming one of those super-wealthy Monaco residents if you pay it a visit! Give it a go, you never know…

Monte Carlo, Monaco

25 - 28 May 2023

By Katie Scott

With the sporting event dates released for 25-28 May 2023, Monaco is preparing to open its doors on a celebratory 80th edition as the world-famous Monaco Grand Prix returns to Monte Carlo for fast and furious fun.

Renowned for its tight bends and tricky obstacles, the track for the Monaco Grand Prix will once again push drivers to their limits as they speed past monuments like The Grand Hotel and of course the picturesque Port Hercule.

As one of the biggest social events of the year, incorporating the Monaco Grand Prix into a luxury yacht charter experience is a must for both private rental and corporate charters .

Mesmerising trackside berths

Being one of the only tracks on the Formula 1 circuit to feature trackside berths, alongside the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix , securing a mooring right alongside the action is the best way to fully immerse yourself and your charter guests in the electrified atmosphere.

These spaces are few, so booking your charter vacation as early as possible through a yacht charter broker is highly recommended. 

Alternatively, secure your spot at the heart of the action with a VIP hospitality package deal , which offer the best seats in the house, as well as a host of other benefits. These often include premium food and drink, luxury tender transfers, meet and greet with former F1 drivers and glamorous after-party access. 

Incredible social agenda

Such a magnanimous event wouldn't be complete without an outstanding social calendar, and that is exactly what the Monaco based event delivers.

Presenting multiple opportunities to dance till dawn with globally known DJs and iconic superyacht parties, there's ample chance to mingle with VIPs and some of the Formula 1 racers themselves as the winner of the race is presented with the trophy at the podium.

Along with the free-flowing champagne and enticing dining options, Monte Carlo hosts some of the most memorable concerts during the Grand Prix season, making a lengthy stay in Monaco a must for being seen.

Demand for trackside berths peaks early so if you're interested in booking an event yacht charter with these berths in mind, get in touch with your preferred yacht charter broker today for more details.

The icing on a very tasty cake! Thanks so much for the seamless hospitality befitting the magical venue and exciting racing. Senate provided a tranquil oasis in the bedlam of race weekend in MONACO. Brilliant although the hospitality almost kept us away from the racing, a nice dilemma to face, thanks again!

Alex Ignatieff - 2019

We both wanted to send you and your team a big thank you for a fabulous experience, watching the Saturday's practice at the Hotel de Paris. Thanks to your kind offer, we were able to enjoy my husband's 'surprise' 50th birthday after all, and it was well worth waiting for. The hospitality was something special; being in such an iconic location made it all the more enjoyable and after the event we walked the circuit (which was fab!) and had to conclude that you Hotel de Paris location was by far one of the best places to have been that day.

Carol Rushworth - 2014

Just wanted to send you a quick email to say how much June and I enjoyed our weekend. The Fairmont suite was just fantastic on Saturday, never knew it was that close you could almost reach out and touch the cars. The Tabac Corner Yacht was so, so good. We had a great view when the Porsche dumped into the barrier…. We didn’t let the weather spoil the race day and it certainly made for a good race. The full hospitality, the catering supplied at the Fairmont and again by them on the Yacht was first class, so too all the staff. Many thanks to everyone involved.

Stewart Hughes - 2016

Senate always take fantastic care of us when we use them for our events in Monaco and Silverstone. They are extremely professional and keep in constant contact from the minute we book the event right the way through to the end - offering their support and advice along the way. I feel confident when working with Senate and know our event will be a huge success - I would not use anyone else!

Sara Osman - 2017

Monaco yacht party was fantastic. I highly recommend this company. A pleasure to deal with.

Moscow Raceway

• 2012 to date

Circuit Overview

Moscow Raceway owes its existence to Russia's desire to host a Formula One race but seems destined to lose out to Sochi and the Igora Drive circuits for the foreseeable future.

Boasting a full FIA Grade 1 Grand Prix layout and and FIM Grade B circuit, the track was initially successful at attracting a range of high-profile championships, from the World Superbikes to World Touring Cars, the DTM and the Blancpain World Series.  One by one these have dropped off the schedule, however, leaving the circuit to host mainly national level events, albeit the most important on Russian racing scene.

Circuit History

Plans for a street race in the Russian capital were first mooted in the 1980s and a Grand Prix of the Soviet Union did in fact make it onto the draft F1 calendar for 1983. However, bureaucratic barriers prevented the Grand Prix from being held, and the race was dropped.

Two decades later, new plans were advanced for a permanent circuit on an island in the Molzhaninovsky area in the north of the city. These received backing from the Moscow mayor, and F1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke was engaged to design the facility. Construction was due to start on November 30th, 2001. However, the mayor rejected the commercial contract offered by Bernie Ecclestone and construction was delayed. It was eventually abandoned altogether in January 2003 and the land turned over to a hotel, yacht marina and golf course instead.

By 2008 momentum had built again for a new project, intended to host both F1 and MotoGP events and located around 90 minutes from the capital. Hermann Tilke was again employed to design the permanent facility. Unlike previous attempts, this project became a reality and on October 1, 2008 a delegation including F1 driver David Coulthard witnessed the ceremonial laying of the first stone.

Construction continued throughout the next few years, supervised by Tilke. After initially signing a deal with Bernie Ecclestone in 2008, the project was dropped from the 2010 Formula 1 calendar in early 2009, and construction stopped. Work resumed in June 2010, with the new contractor agreeing to complete the road section of the track. By September 2011, all asphalt laying had been completed, and construction of the associated pit, support and medical buildings was being undertaken.

When the full circuit and all of its infrastructure was completed in July 2012, it had cost a total of 4.5 billion rubles. Tilke had designed a technical circuit featuring a 873 metres long back straight – among the longest allowable under modern track design guidelines – which would see Formula One cars achieve a theoretical 193mph.

When presented for inspection, the circuit achieved FIA 1(T) status, allowing for Formula One testing and all categories of racing below this. However, the FIM only granted Grade B status, one below the expected level for motorcycle. This still allows for the raceway's inclusion on the World Superbike calendar, though further work will be required before MotoGP could visit.  Subsequently, the track has achieved FIA Grade 1 status, allowing for full Formula One races to take place.

A total of 18 variations of the circuit can be run, from the full Grand Prix course, to shorter 'sprint' variations and a small 'club' circuit utilising the western end only. World Superbikes have utilised the FIM GP course, as has the Renault World Series and WTCC from 2013 onwards (the Renault series' had previously used GP1),  while the DTM makes use of the shorter Sprint Circuit 4.

Tragedy struck the circuit during the first visit of the World Superbike Championships in 2013. During the first lap of the supporting World Supersport race, Italian rider Andrea Antonelli lost control on a slick track during torrential rain. He fell to the ground where he was struck by fellow Italian rider Lorenzo Zanetti, dying from his injuries later the same day. Criticism was levelled at race organisers for beginning the race in such conditions, while the circuit fell under scrutiny for what some felt was inadequate drainage – both claims strongly rejected by championship promoters, Dorna.
