Monaco Ports Lounge: the Monaco Grand Prix enjoyed from the sea.

Monaco Ports Lounge: The Monaco Grand Prix watched from the sea

Ports de Monaco, the renowned Port Management Company of Monaco, owner of Cala del Forte, Port Hercule, and the Fontvieille port, scores another success by securing the development of a floating platform to be positioned in front of the port chicane.

An important agreement, concluding negotiations between Formula One Management, Automobile Club de Monaco, and La Société d’Exploitation des Ports de Monaco, will allow the latter to exclusively access a new space to witness the Formula 1 Grand Prix cars’ passage from the front row.

For information about prices and access to the Monaco Ports Lounge, we recommend reaching out directly (and promptly) to the email grandprix@ports-monaco.com, as I am ready to bet that the seats will sell out very, very quickly.

The Monaco Ports Lounge in detail

The Monaco Ports Lounge – the name of the new space – will boast an impressive area of 600 square meters spread over 3 levels, allowing 400 people to enjoy a front-row view of the Grand Prix. Positioned right after the iconic tunnel exit, this is where Formula 1 cars push their limits to navigate through the Port Chicane before accelerating again and continuing on the rest of the circuit.

Access to the Monaco Ports Lounge is prestigious, highly exclusive, and incredibly convenient. It can be reached by sea directly from the Cala del Forte marina, completely avoiding the congested city, either aboard the high-speed Monaco One or with private tenders, with a maximum length of 9 meters. Additionally, there is also a land access option from the walkway near the Métropole.

To avail of all these benefits, one simply needs to have their boat moored, whether in transit or with longer-term contracts, at the Cala del Forte marina or the Fontvielle port. Purchasing one of the specially designed packages for the event grants access to all three days of the event (Friday to Sunday).
