1. The standard schedule
Our standard payment and cancellation schedule for the Monaco Grand Prix 2026 weekend is as follows:
- A 20 percent deposit is due on signature of the booking agreement and secures the booking.
- The remaining 80 percent balance is due sixty days before the race weekend.
- Bookings confirmed within sixty days of the race may require full payment up front.
2. If you cancel
The following refund schedule applies if you cancel a confirmed booking. Days are counted from the first day of the race weekend.
- More than 90 days before the race— full refund of the deposit, minus a documented administrative fee not exceeding EUR 500 per booking to cover bank, concierge and reservation costs already incurred on your behalf.
- 61 to 90 days before the race— the 20 percent deposit is non-refundable. Any balance already paid is refunded.
- 31 to 60 days before the race— 50 percent of the total booking value is non-refundable. The remainder is refunded.
- 30 days or less before the race— 100 percent of the total booking value is non-refundable.
Refunds are paid to the original payment method within fourteen days of receipt of your written cancellation. Card refunds are processed by Stripe and may take longer to appear on your statement, depending on your card issuer.
3. If we cancel or change the booking
If we cancel a confirmed booking for any reason other than a force majeure event described below, we will refund all amounts you have paid in full within fourteen days. We will also work with you in good faith to offer an equivalent alternative if one is available.
Minor changes such as a substitution of vessel of equivalent specification, a re-allocation of cabins, or a change of menu do not constitute a cancellation by us.
4. If the race weekend is affected
If the Monaco Grand Prix race weekend is cancelled, postponed or materially curtailed by the promoter, by the FIA or by government order — including by reason of weather, public health restrictions, war or civil unrest — the hospitality on board the yacht will continue as planned where it remains lawful and safe to do so.
Where the harbour itself is closed or the vessel cannot physically host guests, we will work with you in good faith to reschedule the booking to an equivalent future event or to issue a refund of the unrecoverable portion of the price. Costs we have already paid to third parties on your behalf that cannot be recovered (such as crew retainers, paddock passes already issued, and provisioning) are not refundable. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover this category of loss.
5. If you cannot travel
We are not able to offer a refund where you, individual guests in your party, or the lead booker are unable to travel for personal reasons, including illness, denial of entry, missed connections or work commitments. This category of loss is generally covered by travel insurance, which we strongly recommend you take out.
We can usually accommodate a substitution of one guest in your party for another at no charge, subject to the new guest’s identity documents being acceptable to the vessel and to F1 hospitality partners. Substitutions made within fourteen days of the race may not be possible.
