Monaco is one of the world’s most iconic yacht charter destinations where the harbour itself becomes part of the experience. Superyachts line Port Hercule against the backdrop of the Rock of Monaco, Monte-Carlo and the spectacular French Riviera.
But the real appeal of a Monaco yacht charter is access. From Port Hercule, some of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful destinations are within easy reach, from the secluded coves of Cap Ferrat to the beaches of Saint-Tropez and the Italian Riviera beyond.
At Doka Yachting, we offer a curated selection of yachts available for charter from Monaco and the French Riviera, from private day charters to tailor-made multi-day itineraries.
Why Charter from Monaco?
Port Hercule places you directly in the heart of Monaco, surrounded by luxury hotels, restaurants, boutiques and the city’s most iconic landmarks.
From here, you can be cruising within minutes, with the French Riviera and Italian coast offering endless possibilities for a tailor-made itinerary.
Whether you want a relaxed day at anchor, a long lunch on board or a week exploring the Mediterranean, your yacht gives you the freedom to experience the coast at your own pace.
The Best Destinations to Explore
Cap Ferrat
Secluded coves, crystal-clear waters and some of the Riviera’s most exclusive villas make Cap Ferrat an essential stop on any yacht charter from Monaco.
Èze
Cruise beneath the dramatic cliffs of Èze and anchor below one of the Riviera’s most beautiful hilltop villages before heading ashore to explore.
Villefranche-sur-Mer
With its spectacular natural harbour and clear blue waters, Villefranche is ideal for swimming, lunch and a relaxed afternoon at anchor.
Saint-Tropez
For longer charters, continue west towards Saint-Tropez to experience its legendary beaches, beach clubs, boutiques and vibrant old-port atmosphere.
The Italian Riviera
A multi-day charter can also take you east towards destinations such as Sanremo, Bordighera and the Ligurian coast, creating a seamless French-Italian itinerary.
When to Charter from Monaco?
June to August offers classic Mediterranean summer conditions, with long sunny days and lively coastal destinations. Peak dates should be booked well in advance.
The Monaco Grand Prix in May and Monaco Yacht Show in September are particularly sought-after charter periods, offering an exceptional way to experience these major events from the water.
For a quieter experience, May, September and October can offer warm weather, fewer crowds and greater flexibility.
Day Charter or Week-Long Charter?
A day charter is perfect for discovering the coastline around Monaco, with time for swimming, lunch and exploring nearby destinations before returning to port.
A multi-day or week-long charter allows you to travel further, combining Monaco with the French and Italian Riviera while your yacht becomes your private floating base.
At Doka Yachting, every itinerary is tailored to the way you want to experience the Mediterranean.
What Is Included?
Charter rates generally include the yacht, crew and standard onboard equipment. Fuel, berthing, provisioning, food and beverages and certain additional services are usually charged separately.
Your Doka Yachting broker will provide a clear overview of all costs before your charter, including the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) where applicable.
