Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026 · Berth E134
AK Royalty, the gold yacht on Berth E134
The engines fire a few metres from the rail. You are on a gold-finished deck with a glass in hand, and the race is part of the view rather than the reason you left the house.
AK Royalty hosts 50 guests for the four days of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Not one more, which is the whole point.

- 42 m Palmer Johnson
- 50 guests, no overflow

Why watch from a yacht
A grandstand gives you one seat and one corner. A yacht gives you a base. You move between the open deck, a cool lounge, the dining table and the marina edge without queueing for any of it.
Berth E134 is a track-view mooring inside the race-weekend marina, beside the circuit and the hotel. Between sessions the yacht is a private club. During them, it is a very good seat.
Fifty guests matters as much as the berth. It keeps the deck social instead of crowded, and it keeps the crew attentive instead of stretched.

Inside the AK Royalty yacht
Step aboard
AK Royalty is a 42 m Palmer Johnson, built in 2009 and fully refitted in 2023. The gold exterior is what people photograph. The layout is what makes a race weekend work.
Two entertainment decks, indoor and outdoor dining, lounges, a wellness deck and a wide swim platform give fifty guests room to spread out.

Water toys

A giant slide, a sea pool, a floating trampoline and towables turn the swim platform into its own event.
02
Flyboard
For the guest who wants more than a photo from the deck.
03
Electric Flite board
A silent hydrofoil ride that suits the yacht's quietly technical side.
