Monaco is the world’s most exclusive yacht charter destination. Not only for its prestige or setting — but for the unique concentration of what the Principality offers an international UHNWI clientele: Port Hercule, one of the most coveted ports in the Mediterranean, just a stone’s throw from the Casino, palaces, and Formula 1 circuit. A tiny territory — two square kilometers — where two of the most important nautical events on the global calendar converge each year: the Monaco Grand Prix and the Monaco Yacht Show.
International Yachts Charter and Brokerage has been assisting an international clientele with the selection and organization of yacht charters in Monaco for over 20 years. From superyachts 20 to 45 meters LOA, STCW-certified crews, MYBA contracts, and full transparency on APA — for every project, whether it’s a week of summer cruising or a corporate reception during the Grand Prix.
Port Hercule is Monaco’s only natural harbor. Within less than a kilometer of quays, it concentrates the most exclusive aspects of the Principality — the most impressive superyachts in the world’s fleet berth alongside residents’ tenders, under the gaze of palaces and just meters from the Monte-Carlo Casino. During the Grand Prix, yachts moor just a few meters from the active circuit. During the Monaco Yacht Show, Port Hercule becomes the largest showcase for global superyachting.
Berths in Port Hercule are rare and highly sought after — especially during event weeks. Our team has direct relationships with port authorities and prioritizes negotiating the best available positions for our clients.
Monaco is the ideal starting point for the most beautiful cruises in the Western Mediterranean:
Monaco benefits from one of the most active nautical seasons in the Mediterranean:
Monaco concentrates two of the most important events on the global yachting calendar within a four-month window. Each event generates specific charter demand with distinct clientele and uses.
The world’s most exclusive sporting event. Yachts moored in Port Hercule offer direct views of the circuit from Quai Rainier III and Quai des États-Unis — the New Chicane and Tabac corner within sight. An experience accessible to very few people in the world, which must be booked several months in advance.
The 2026 Grand Prix marks a historic turning point: first edition in June, new FIA technical regulations, two mandatory pit stops. One of the most spectacular editions of the decade.
