Big Daddy is a 165 ft Benetti, about 50 metres long, moored on Berth 48 for the four days of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The berth is listed as track view. Inside, burl-wood panels and long cream sofas make the saloon feel more like a private house than a boat.
She is the yacht for the long guest list. The package comes with 60 marina passes, more than any other yacht in our F1 fleet, and the yacht itself is listed for 100 guests. You can invite the wider circle this time.

Inside the Benetti
The Benetti, room by room
Benetti has built boats in Viareggio, on the Tuscan coast, since 1873. Big Daddy has the long white hull and stacked decks of a traditional Benetti, with a dark radar arch on top. You may also see her listed as Big Boys Toy.
The main saloon runs aft to glass doors that open onto the deck. Higher up there is a spa pool with open water around it. Sleeping accommodation is listed for 10 guests, in cabins panelled in pale wood.
Upper deck
A spa pool above the water
A round spa pool with a timber rim, set into cushioned seating behind glass rails. The photograph was taken off Dubai, with Ain Dubai across the water.
Accommodation
A double cabin in pale wood
A double bed made up in white linen with navy cushions, and a vanity with a long mirror. Ten guests can sleep aboard, so a few of you can stay between race days.
The Big Daddy occasion
Bring your group aboard a 165 ft Benetti
Some race weekends are for six close friends. This one is for the whole list, from the clients you owe a thank-you to the family flying in for Sunday. Big Daddy is listed for 100 guests and comes with 60 marina passes.
Berth 48 is listed as a track-view position, and your final offer confirms the berth in writing. When the cars are off track, the saloon is somewhere cool to sit down, with a bar and a round dining table by the doors to the aft deck.
Sleeping accommodation is listed for 10. Most of the party will arrive and leave each day, so it helps to plan who needs a pass on which day. If the list grows past 60, we request extra passes for you.

Questions
Big Daddy F1 package, answered
How much does Big Daddy cost for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2026?
AED 2,000,000 plus VAT for the four-day programme from Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 December 2026. That covers the yacht on Berth 48, 60 marina passes, 60 after-race concert passes, the Thursday pit-lane walk and Oasis Terrace access. Catering, drinks, parking and other optional services are itemised separately.
Can you see the track from Big Daddy on Berth 48?
Berth 48 is listed in the brochure as a track-view position. How much of the circuit you see depends on the angle of the berth and where you stand on board. Your final offer confirms the berth allocation in writing.
How many guests can Big Daddy take, and how many marina passes are included?
Big Daddy is listed for 100 guests and includes 60 marina passes, the most of any yacht in our F1 fleet. The two numbers are separate. If more than 60 people need marina access, ask for extra passes in your enquiry or plan a rotation of guests across the four days. Extra passes depend on availability and are priced separately.
Can guests stay overnight on Big Daddy during race weekend?
Yes. Sleeping accommodation is listed for 10 guests, so a small group can stay aboard while the rest of the party arrives each day. Tell us who needs a cabin, and for which nights, when you send your hosting brief.
What kind of yacht is Big Daddy?
Big Daddy is a 165 ft motor yacht, about 50 metres, built by Benetti, the Italian shipyard founded in Viareggio in 1873. She has a long main saloon, a spa pool on an open upper deck and cabins for 10 guests. You may also see her listed under the name Big Boys Toy.
What dates does the Big Daddy F1 package cover?
Hospitality runs from Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 December 2026. Practice, qualifying and the race take place from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December. The pit-lane walk is on Thursday, and the marina, concert and Oasis Terrace passes cover all four days.
Are race tickets included with Big Daddy?
No. The package includes 60 VIP marina passes, the Thursday pit-lane walk, Oasis Terrace access and after-race concert passes for all four days, but marina passes are not grandstand or Paddock Club tickets. Our concierge can book circuit tickets alongside the yacht if your guests want a seat at a corner too.
