Yacht Charter Monaco
Yacht charter Monaco places you at the epicentre of Mediterranean luxury – a sovereign city-state barely two kilometres wide where Belle Époque casinos rise above a harbour bristling with some of the world’s most prestigious superyachts and the roar of Formula One still echoes along the Circuit de Monaco every May. Port Hercules, flanked by the Prince’s Palace on the Rock and the glass-fronted Yacht Club de Monaco designed by Sir Norman Foster, is the ultimate stage for a charter departure, and the Cote d’Azur unfolds in both directions – Cap-Ferrat and Villefranche-sur-Mer to the west, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and the Italian Riviera to the east. The fleet based in or visiting Monaco includes luxury catamarans from 55 ft, modern motor yachts in the 68–98 ft range with sleek Italian styling and expansive sun decks, and superyachts above 100 ft that define the harbour’s glittering skyline. Peak season runs from late June through August, with the Monaco Grand Prix in May and the Monaco Yacht Show in late September creating additional high-demand windows.
Charter rates start from €4,800 per day on a luxury catamaran, from €5,900 per day on motor yachts 68–78 ft, from €9,900 per day on the latest 88–99 ft models, and from €12,900 per day on superyachts, plus applicable French or Monegasque VAT at 20% and APA. Monaco is the gold standard of yachting, and every charter here is an event.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a Monaco charter?
Monaco’s berths and best yachts are in exceptional demand during the Grand Prix in May, the Monaco Yacht Show in September, and the peak summer months of July and August – we recommend booking six to twelve months ahead for these periods. Shoulder-season charters in June or early September can typically be confirmed three to five months in advance with a wider choice of vessels.
Can I combine Monaco with neighbouring destinations?
Absolutely. Monaco sits at the heart of the Côte d’Azur, making it effortless to cruise west to Nice, Antibes, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez or east to the Italian Riviera and Portofino – all within a single day’s passage. A seven-day charter from Monaco comfortably covers the French and Italian Rivieras, and our team can design a bespoke route to match your interests and pace.
Can I charter in Monaco for just one day?
Yes, day charters in Monaco are very common, especially during the summer and major events like the Grand Prix. However, availability is limited and premium yachts often prioritize multi-day bookings, so it’s best to book well in advance.
What is the APA for a Monaco charter?
The Advance Provisioning Allowance is typically set at 30–35% of the base charter fee and covers fuel, food, beverages, premium berthing fees – Port Hercules berths during events can be substantial – and all additional onboard expenses. Your captain manages the fund and provides a full itemised accounting at the end; any unused balance is refunded to you.
