The Miami International Autodrome is 30 minutes inland — you can't see the track from the water. Most charters are booked for the pre-race Friday, post-qualifying Saturday night, and sunset-to-evening windows during race weekend.

About Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix
The Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix is the early-May race weekend hosted at the Miami International Autodrome — a purpose-built street circuit wrapped around Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The weekend runs Friday practice through Sunday race, with all ten F1 teams on the grid, a celebrity paddock scene, and waterfront activations spanning the entire city (Brickell, South Beach, and Edgewater most prominently). Race weekend is the single largest tourism influx of the year after Art Basel, and Miami's sponsors stack brand parties every night.
Why charter for Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix
F1 weekend land traffic around Hard Rock Stadium is notoriously bad, and the Miami Gardens circuit is 30 minutes inland from the water. Most CharterXO customers don't charter for the race itself — they charter for Friday evening and Saturday night, when the paddock crowd migrates to Brickell, Miami Beach, and Nikki Beach afterparties. A 50-70ft yacht off Star Island on Saturday night is a post-qualifying tradition for teams and sponsors, and avoiding Uber surge-pricing mid-weekend saves the cost of the charter outright.
