Monaco Grand Prix Yacht Charter

The Circuit de Monaco runs along the harbour, so the yachts berthed in Port Hercules are part of the race weekend's furniture: the cars brake for the chicane a few metres from the sterns on the Quai des États-Unis, and the harbour is where the paddock, the teams and the parties end up each night.

A Grand Prix charter in Monaco is a week's charter of a yacht based on the French Riviera, with the race weekend as its centrepiece. The yacht comes into Port Hercules for the weekend where a berth has been secured, or anchors off and runs the tender in, and the rest of the week is spent along the coast: Cap Ferrat, Antibes, Saint-Tropez, or across to Corsica. Berths inside the harbour for the race are limited and allocated months ahead, so the earlier the enquiry the better the position.

The yachts below are the charter fleet based in France for the season, from 20-metre motor yachts for a small party to 60-metre-plus superyachts with a crew of twenty. Weekly rates are the season's standard rates; the race week carries a premium and a minimum charter length, which we confirm yacht by yacht.

Monaco also runs the Historic Grand Prix in April and the Yacht Show in September, and the same yachts and the same harbour serve both. Tell us the week, the party and how central you want to be, and we come back with what is realistically available.
