The UIM F1H2O World Championship kicks off the 2026 season in Cagliari, bringing motorboat Formula 1 back to the waters of "Su Siccu" after more than twenty years. The Italian Grand Prix – Region of Sardinia will take place from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 May, with the main race scheduled for Sunday at 3.05 pm.
Admission for the public will be free, and spectators will be able to watch the races from the seafront and the public areas of the waterfront, specially equipped with safe viewing areas. The only paid option will be the VIP Hospitality package, offering access to the paddock, a buffet and a gala dinner, which can be booked on h2oshop.net.
The UIM F1H2O boats, high-performance monohulls powered by Mercury Racing engines, reach speeds of over 250 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under two seconds. The programme includes free practice on Friday, qualifying and the Sprint Race on Saturday, and the Grand Prix on Sunday.
The event will also feature the Italian Motorboat Federation's national series and a two-seater boat for VIP guests and the media.
