A luxury yacht charter in Monaco starts from the most famous harbour in the Mediterranean. Port Hercule, below the Rock and Monte-Carlo, welcomes some of the world’s largest private yachts every summer, and it is where the Monaco Grand Prix by yacht and the Monaco Yacht Show take place. Opera Prestige arranges crewed yacht and superyacht charters from the Principality, from a single day at sea to a week-long cruise.

Monaco is also an excellent base for cruising: Menton and the Italian border are around twenty minutes away, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat less than an hour, Cannes one to one and a half hours by motor yacht, and Portofino half a day at sea. We choose the yacht, crew and itinerary around your group, your dates and the occasion.

To cruise beyond the Principality, see our yacht charter on the French Riviera; ashore, our Monaco concierge arranges villa, restaurants and transfers in parallel.

Monaco Yacht Charter: Your Options

01

Day Charter

A Day at Sea from Monaco

The most requested outing: east to Menton and the Italian border, or west to Cap-d’Ail, Èze, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, anchoring for lunch and a swim. A 20 to 30 m yacht is ideal; in summer, allow a few weeks’ notice. See also our private day cruises on the French Riviera.

02

Grand Prix

The Monaco Grand Prix by Yacht

From 4 to 6 June 2027, watching the race from a yacht in Port Hercule, right beside the circuit, remains the most sought-after experience of the weekend. Harbour berths go very early; anchoring offshore is an alternative. Everything is covered on our Monaco Grand Prix yacht charter page and in our Monaco Grand Prix guide.

03

Week-Long

A Week at Sea from Monaco

East, the Italian Riviera: Sanremo, then Portofino and the Cinque Terre. West, the French Riviera: Cap-Ferrat, Antibes, Cannes and the Lérins Islands, as far as Saint-Tropez. The itinerary is set with the captain according to the weather and your wishes; many guests pair the cruise with a luxury villa in Monaco.

04

Events

Receptions and Events on Board

Private dinner, birthday, corporate reception or product launch: a yacht in Monaco bay offers a setting few venues can match. Our private events team handles production on board while the crew runs the yacht.
