Also, based on personal experience earlier this year with Waypoints, not all their boats can go or have the permits to go the BVI. There is also an upcharge of about $700 to go there and a limit on how long one can remain.

If you plan to go to the BVI make sure the boat you book is allowed to do that. The reason your prior company is likely gone is the restrictions the BVI has placed on US charter boats entering.

I am super excited to attend my first F1 race in person this weekend at COTA! Since it’s my first time, I am looking for tips to make the most of the race weekend and my trip to Austin.

I found these two helpful articles with some useful information:

Things to Do Off the Track covers activities and places to explore around Austin.

F1 Guide to Visiting COTA offers practical tips for visiting the circuit.

I will arrive on Friday and stay until Thursday, so I will have plenty of time to explore Austin after Sunday's race.

For those who have attended the USGP or visited Austin before, what would you recommend? I would love tips on getting around the track, finding good local food, and discovering interesting places around the city. Anything that could make the trip more enjoyable would be appreciated!

Waypoints continues to be excellent. Chartered with them out of Frenchtown in 2024 and will do so again in Jan 2027.
