Speed, adrenaline, luxury and glamour: the Monaco Grand Prix

Do you ever have that well known feeling that your car is just too wide for some of those narrow streets? Now you know what is going through the drivers’ minds at every one of the 19 corners that they must navigate through for 90 minutes, lap after lap. Circuit de Monaco is well known for many things, but for the drivers it is most known for being a narrow street circuit with many blind corners and elevation changes.

Because of that, Monaco is the most relentless and demanding circuit on the calendar. There is quite literally zero room for error as drivers push themselves to the limit at every corner and try to get as close to every wall to shave off as much time as possible. That is why drivers are known to lose up to 5 kilos during the race of just pure perspiration. Maybe not the cheapest weight loss program but it definitely works!

This breath taking event takes course over three days starting on the Friday with Free Practice in the afternoon. Before the cars rip up and down the streets of Monaco, you can spend your day watching all other kinds of races that take place in the morning, while enjoying a delicious breakfast prepared by your wonderful chef onboard.

At 12 pm you will start to hear the roar of the first F1 cars as they start to warm up their engines. During the testing sessions is when the drivers get to drive on the track for the first time this year.

They spend the day getting used to the narrow and intense streets of Monaco. Their main goal is to get the car set up perfectly for Saturday and of course most importantly the race on Sunday.

At 4 pm the Formula one cars will be done testing and you can start getting ready for a beautiful sunset dinner in one of the top restaurants in Monaco.

On Saturday the drivers will start their final testing session, where it is their last chance to change anything that needs to be changed on their cars before the qualifying session which starts at 3 pm. During the qualifying session the drivers compete in three different sessions to see who can put down the fastest time around the track. It is very difficult to overtake the other drivers on such a narrow circuit like Monaco, that is why it is so important for the drivers to start as close to the lead as possible.

The 20 drivers will push themselves beyond what we thought to be humanly possible in order to just shave off .001 of a second. This is the quickest you will see the cars all weekend, and any mistake that the drivers make will cost them dearly.

At 4 pm the fastest driver will be awarded a pole position award and they will get to start the race in first place. When you are done watching the qualifying you can discover the local French cuisine dinner onboard with your friends. After your delightful dinner you can get ready for a fun night in the clubs down in Monaco. The chief stewardess can show you guys all the ins and outs of the wild nightlife that is to be found in Monaco.

The third and final day of the weekend is the day that drivers get to prove what they are worth in the championship. 78 laps of pure perfection coming from all 20 drivers, they cannot make a single mistake, or it could potentially cost them millions in championship earnings.

At 3 pm the cars will all be lined up ready to take on the brutal track for the last time this year. For 90 minutes the drivers will do everything they can to try and win the most famous race in the world, and prove they are amongst the best race car drivers in the world.

Can the reigning world champion Max Verstappen win for a second time in a row? Or will the local Monegasque be able to clench his first ever home win?

This year we witnessed one of the best seasons this sport has ever seen. The Dutch Formula One driver Max Verstappen was able to win his first ever world championship after going into the final race with equal points. As proven last season, every race plays a huge factor in the championship, making it tempting to visit each one.

Why not start by attending the most prestigious and famous race of the entire season and watching it from the comfort of your own yacht?
