Amid the roar of engines and the shimmer of the Côte d’Azur, the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix witnessed the launch of a new pinnacle in luxury hospitality: RD Grand Prix, A Superyacht Experience. Making its sensational debut in Port Hercule from May 23 to 25, this ultra-exclusive event fused Formula 1®, fashion, fine dining, and live entertainment aboard a 180-foot superyacht—redefining what it means to celebrate at the world’s most glamorous race.
Founded by experiential entertainment producer Ben Biscotti and nightlife visionary Sylvain Bitton, RD Grand Prix transformed Monaco’s iconic harbor into a high-octane sanctuary of style, music, and Michelin-starred indulgence. With an invite-only guest list that read like a Hollywood red carpet, attendees included Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez, Sofia Vergara, Naomi Campbell, Valtteri Bottas, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Abby Champion, Robin Thicke, April Love Geary, Evan Ross, Tyrod Taylor, Kyle Kuzma, and Princess Camille Gottlieb, among many other high-profile names.
Over three days, RD Grand Prix offered guests the ultimate sensory escape: live performances, curated shopping, immersive tastings, and Michelin-level gastronomy—all set to the electrifying backdrop of Formula 1. 5-Time Grammy Nominated Artist Robin Thicke performed on Friday night’s opening party,hosted by acclaimed actor and artist Evan Ross and featuring Rémy Martin, French cognac fine champagne. Throughout the weekend, Monaco’s glittering skyline pulsed with music from a world-class DJ lineup, including Rampa, Adriatique, Major League DJz, DJ Ruckus, DJ Cruz, and DJ Pookie.
Fashionistas reveled in an exclusive onboard boutique featuring capsule collections from Oceanus (luxury swimwear), Live Fast Die Young (bespoke menswear), and standout outerwear by Alpha Industries. Meanwhile, contemporary art took center stage with a private exhibition by Fred Allard, whose bold, collectible works seamlessly blend fashion, art, and Formula 1 culture.
Culinary experiences were curated by Marc Forgione, The Next Iron Chef winner and two-time Michelin-starred maestro, presented in partnership with HexClad, the world’s most advanced kitchenware brand. Guests indulged in a decadent menu featuring truffle barbajuan, lobster salad, tuna tataki, and a live seafood bump bar with oysters, N25 caviar, and hiramasa. The pièce de résistance? A rib of beef flambéed in whisky, prepared live using HexClad’s revolutionary tools.
No detail was spared in beverage curation. RD Grand Prix poured the finest selections from partners including RUMOR Rosé (vegan, organic Provence rosé), Famille Perrin Wines, Tequila Centinela, Cognac Coutanseaux Aîné, Heaven Sake, Red Bull, Heineken, 100 Coconuts, French Bloom, and Almave.
