[/FONT]Local marinas will receive information from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) on Race Box
locations, flight times and waterway restrictions, and will pass that information along to their
customers.
The Red Bull Air Race and local authorities discourage viewing from boats on the water during
the race. USCG will set up a safety distance regarding all vessels and based on this all​

spectators are advised that the best way to view the race is from the official ticketed areas.

No they are not boat friendly. They want you to buy a ticket.

This is the race track map.

Saw it in San Diego last year. Awesome! However, not worth it watching from the boat. They don't let you get close enough. Worth it to buy a ticket for a day.
