Getting a yacht with Berth for the Monaco Grand Prix
Many people will say “it’s nearly impossible to get a berth at the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix”.

Boatbookings.com right now has 3 yachts with guaranteed berths – a Mangusta 80, a Mangusta 108 and a Sunseeker Manhattan 74. But, yes, they are expensive, berths go for €20K to €30K.
