Since its launch in 2022, the Miami Grand Prix has been committed to creating a unique image that reflects the city’s culture. Since then, one of the mainstays of Miami International Speedway has been the replica marina located inside the Turns 5-9 complex—the sea may be fake, but the boats are real.
By 2026, the area will be upgraded in the form of a superyacht-themed multi-level reception area, promising better views and a luxurious weekend experience. The four-storey tower was built in partnership with F1 sponsor MSC Cruises.

The new reception area, officially named the MSC Yacht Club, is 264 feet long, 96 feet wide and 50 feet high at its highest point. Four decks will offer separate spaces and atmospheres, from an alfresco area with pool and lounge seating on the first deck, to a shaded seating area with a Jack Daniel’s bar on the third deck. The second deck will also offer shaded seating as well as fine dining operated by French hotel brand Bagatelle; those wishing to experience a more refined culinary adventure can enjoy the Chef’s Table experience.
The captain’s deck is the highest observation deck, a private space with panoramic views of the track park.

As part of the wider revamp of the Quayside, there will be a new, elevated general admission area overlooking Turn 7, an area previously reserved for select ticket holders.

In addition to providing another talking point for Miami International Speedway, the new area will provide better views of one of the most dynamic and demanding sections of the track.
“The marina created by MSC Cruises has been one of the defining features of our competition from the beginning,” said Katharina Nowak, president of the Miami Grand Prix.
“In creating MSC Yacht Club, we wanted to enhance this iconic space by offering something more immersive, sophisticated and relevant to racing. Together with our fantastic partners at MSC Cruises, we have created a great guest experience while staying true to the energy of Miami that makes our racing so unique.”
