MONACO

Monaco: Elite Events, Scenic Harbors, and Timeless Glamour

Perched on the edge of the French Riviera and spanning just over two square kilometers, Monaco commands outsized prestige in the world of yachting. Cruising into Port Hercules feels like entering a floating museum of prestige, lined with superyachts gleaming beneath the Côte d’Azur sun. Home to icons like the Monte Carlo Casino and the legendary Monaco Grand Prix, the principality is a premier yacht charter destination for those seeking the high life. 

Every corner reveals cinematic allure—Belle Époque façades, royal palaces, cliffside gardens, and terraces overlooking a turquoise horizon—while its compact elegance makes it the perfect gateway to nearby Riviera harbors, from Cap-d’Ail to Beaulieu-sur-Mer.

What makes Monaco unique?

A principality smaller than Central Park yet larger than life, Monaco embodies the art of refined living on sea and shore.

Monte Carlo & Port Hercules

Port Hercules is Monaco’s deep‑water harbour, able to accommodate superyachts up to 130 m in length and hundreds of vessels, making it one of the Mediterranean’s most prestigious moorings. This prime location sits beneath the Rock of Monaco and slopes up toward Monte Carlo’s casinos, designer boutiques and gourmet dining, forming the very heart of the principality’s high‑life culture.

Larvotto & Cap-Ferrat

The Larvotto district provides a refined contrast to the glitz, with calm turquoise waters, upscale beach clubs, and serene anchorages set against palm‑lined promenades and the nearby Cap‑Ferrat peninsula’s elegant villas.

Gateway to the Riviera

Monaco is not only a destination in its own right but also the perfect embarkation point for cruising the Riviera. Just a short hop away lie Cap‑d’Ail and Èze to the west, and the Italian Riviera to the east.

A Calendar of World-Class Prestige

Monaco’s calendar is anchored by globally renowned events such as the Monaco Grand Prix and the Monaco Yacht Show, which are cultural rituals that define the city’s global standing. Experiencing these events from the deck of a charter yacht moored in Port Hercules places guests in a world of exclusivity and prestige found nowhere else.

Yachting Culture & Opulent lifestyle

Here, yachting is not merely a pastime—it is part of the principality’s DNA. State-of-the-art marinas, bespoke services, and a culture that celebrates the sea elevate every charter. Combined with designer shopping, elite nightlife, and wellness experiences, Monaco offers an exclusive fusion of adventure, elegance, and indulgence found nowhere else along the Mediterranean.
