About a 3-hour drive from Milan: On July 17 and 18, Monaco will host the first electric speedboat championship featuring teams led by Rafa Nadal and Will Smith

The Event: The Revolution on the Water 

Forget traditional racetracks: Monaco’s legendary circuit is being reimagined on the waves of the Mediterranean. The E1 will feature a competition between futuristic RaceBirds speedboats, capable of skimming the water at extremely high speeds. Ten elite teams, each consisting of one male and one female driver, will compete for the title of Champions of the Water. The teams are owned by global icons from the worlds of sports and entertainment, including Tom Brady, Rafa Nadal, Will Smith, and Steve Aoki. Many of them will be in attendance to support their teams. 

The Experience: E1 Ocean Club

This is not just a sporting competition, but a true social hub for international guests, entrepreneurs, and sports legends. With packages starting at €1,500, admission includes: exceptional hospitality, haute cuisine with menus curated by internationally renowned chefs, and an all-inclusive open bar featuring signature cocktails, exclusive entertainment with DJ sets, interactive racing simulators, and behind-the-scenes access to meet the drivers and teams.

📍The beating heart of the event will be the Yacht Club de Monaco (Quai Louis II). Designed by renowned architect Norman Foster, the building overlooks Port Hercule and its superyachts. It is a symbol of Monte Carlo’s innovation and exclusivity, offering an unparalleled setting for the competition.

🚗 Getting to the event from Milan is simple and scenic, thanks to a roughly 3- to 4-hour drive (300 km) along the Autostrada dei Fiori (A10), where you can admire the landscapes of the Ligurian Riviera all the way to the French border.
