Superyacht Charter

The Mediterranean from the water

Monaco’s harbour exists to serve yachts, and yacht culture exists to serve those who understand that the finest experiences often happen on the water. A week’s charter along the Côte d’Azur — from Monaco to Saint-Tropez, from the Îles de Lérins to Portofino — provides access to beaches, restaurants, and anchorages that land-based travel cannot match.

The charter market operates on established terms. Expect to pay €50,000-150,000 per week for a 30-40 metre yacht sleeping six to eight guests, plus approximately 30% for expenses (fuel, food, port fees, crew gratuities). Larger vessels — 50 metres and above, with helipads and submarine toys — command €200,000-500,000 per week. The Monaco Yacht Show in September allows inspection of the finest vessels available.

The experience includes a captain and crew who manage every detail. Days follow a rhythm of swimming, exploration, and meals prepared by an onboard chef to your preferences. Evenings might anchor in a quiet cove or tie up in a glamorous port. The freedom to move according to weather, mood, and whim distinguishes yacht travel from any other mode.
