Monaco
Why Monaco Is the Riviera's Premier Charter Base
Port Hercules places you at the geographic centre of the western Mediterranean's most coveted cruising corridor. Within 20 nautical miles you reach the sheltered capes of Cap d'Ail and the botanical shores of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Push further and a morning cruise delivers you to the Îles de Lérins off Cannes, while an easy day passage covers the 35 nautical miles to Saint-Tropez. The charter season runs from late April through October, with peak demand in July and August when the principality's social calendar is at its densest.
Motor yachts between 30 and 80 metres dominate the local fleet, purpose-built for Mediterranean stern-to mooring in compact harbours and open-water passages alike. The Ligurian Sea offers reliably calm conditions from June to September, with prevailing south-westerlies rarely exceeding 12 knots along the coastal shelf. Anchoring is the preferred mode at quieter stops such as Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer, where depths of 8–15 metres over sand allow comfortable swinging. Ashore, the Michelin-starred restaurants of Monte-Carlo and the fresh-catch bistros of Menton provide a culinary range few coastlines can match.
A private yacht hire from the principality suits couples seeking a discreet weekend on the water, families who need space and tender access to shallow bays, and corporate hosts entertaining during the Grand Prix or the Monaco Yacht Show. Consider a five-night itinerary east to Portofino and back, or a long day charter west to the red cliffs of the Estérel. Whatever the format, our brokers shape the route around your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
A quick read of what most charter clients ask before booking.
-
How much does a yacht charter in Monaco cost?
Day rates vary by vessel size and season. A 30-metre motor yacht typically commands a lower daily rate than a 60-metre superyacht, and July–August premiums apply across the fleet. We quote a day rate plus an Advance Provisioning Allowance covering fuel, harbour fees and food. Contact our brokers for a detailed breakdown tailored to your dates and itinerary along the Riviera.
-
What is included in a Monaco yacht charter?
Every charter includes a professional crew — captain, engineer, chef and stewardesses — plus insurance, bed linen and standard water toys. The APA covers fuel, provisions and port fees at stops such as Villefranche-sur-Mer or Cannes. Additional requests like jet skis, dive gear or sommelier-curated wine lists are arranged through your dedicated coordinator before departure.
-
How many guests can a charter yacht accommodate in Monaco?
Sleeping capacity on our 30–80 metre fleet ranges from 6 to 12 guests in private cabins. Day charters may carry more — often up to 12 guests on deck — depending on the vessel's safety certification. Larger groups heading to events like the Grand Prix can book multiple yachts berthed side by side in Port Hercules for a coordinated experience.
-
When is the best season to charter a yacht from Monaco?
The prime season runs from May through September. Sea temperatures reach 24 °C by July and the Ligurian coast sees fewer than three rainy days per month in high summer. June and September offer quieter anchorages at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and calmer crossings toward the Îles de Lérins, while July and August align with Monaco's busiest social calendar.
-
Can I book a last-minute yacht charter in Monaco?
Yes — same-day embarkation is realistic. Because our fleet is berthed locally at Port Hercules and Fontvieille, vessels are provisioned and crew-ready at short notice. Availability narrows during Grand Prix week and the Monaco Yacht Show in late September, so booking 48 hours ahead is advisable during peak events. Off-peak, a morning enquiry can lead to an afternoon departure.
-
What is the cancellation policy for a Monaco charter?
Cancellation terms are set by individual yacht owners and vary by vessel and booking window. Most contracts include tiered refund schedules that tighten as the embarkation date approaches. Rather than publish generic figures, we walk you through the specific terms for your chosen yacht before you sign. Speak with your broker to understand the conditions in full.
-
Do I need a licence to charter a yacht in Monaco?
No licence is required. Every yacht in our fleet is fully crewed, so a qualified captain handles navigation, mooring and all maritime regulations. Guests simply board at Port Hercules and enjoy the voyage. The crew also manages border formalities if your itinerary crosses into Italian waters toward Ventimiglia or Sanremo, keeping the experience entirely seamless.
