There are sporting events, and then there are front-row, champagne-in-hand, on-the-water spectacles. From the electric buzz of Formula 1 to the adrenaline-fuelled precision of SailGP, the world's most iconic events are best experienced from the deck of a yacht.
With Ahoy Club and Ahoy Days, guests gain privileged access to premium yacht charters positioned at the heart of the action: combining elite sporting moments with seamless luxury, world-class hospitality, and unforgettable coastal views.
1. Monaco Grand Prix

As day turns to night, the atmosphere shifts seamlessly from race spectacle to Riviera revelry.
With Ahoy Club and Ahoy Days, the experience doesn't end at the chequered flag. Exclusive Monaco GP after-parties onboard luxury yachts bring together drivers, teams, VIPs, and global tastemakers for unforgettable nights on the water: where racing stories are swapped over cocktails, music drifts across the harbour, and Monaco's legendary nightlife unfolds from the best seat in the house.
