The Monaco Grand Prix is not a race like any other. It’s a weekend when the entire Principality transforms into a stage, when race cars skim past the yachts moored in Port Hercule, and when every berth must be secured months in advance. Experiencing this moment from a fully private yacht in Monaco means treating yourself to the only vantage point that rivals the Rock’s most coveted balconies.
Nautibliss organizes your yacht charter in Monaco for the Grand Prix, in Port Hercule or at anchor facing the circuit. From selecting the charter yacht to the final after-party, our teams coordinate every detail of your weekend with a single point of contact, absolute precision, and total discretion.
Nautibliss does more than just provide a yacht. Our teams handle all the event logistics.
For groups looking to host partners, key clients, or key employees in a truly unique setting, a yacht in Monaco offers the perfect venue for building relationships. From Friday receptions at sea to gourmet lunches during test runs and the race, and themed dinners in the evening, Nautibliss coordinates the entire program—from airport transfers to the organization of every service on board.
Experiencing the Grand Prix with your loved ones aboard a charter yacht—which becomes your home base for three or four days—is an experience few other events can match. With a flexible itinerary, cruising along the Riviera between sessions, and dinners either on board or at Monaco’s finest restaurants, we tailor your stay to your preferences, handling all the logistical details so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
The Grand Prix is also one of the highlights of the year for private events. From a cocktail reception overlooking the track on Saturday evening to a gala dinner on Sunday after the checkered flag, and an after-party on a yacht off the coast of Monaco: for the most ambitious events, our teams bring together the best caterers, artists, and technical service providers on the French Riviera.
Many of our clients extend their Monaco yacht charter by several days of cruising between Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Portofino, or Corsica. The yacht remains at your disposal, the itinerary can be tailored to your needs, and you can combine the excitement of the Grand Prix with the tranquility of a private cruise along the Mediterranean’s most beautiful coastlines.
Based in Cannes, less than an hour from Monaco, we organize annual yacht charters in Monaco for an international clientele that demands discretion, reliability, and excellence. Our proximity to Port Hercule and our familiarity with the Principality’s shipowners and port authorities allow us to secure the best berths for the Grand Prix and anticipate every challenge of a weekend where no improvisation is possible.
As a subsidiary of Santarelli Marine, a family-owned group active in the boating industry since 1959, we have a Monaco yacht charter network and a depth of expertise that few other market players can offer. At an event as demanding as the Monaco Grand Prix, this difference is evident in every detail.
The Monaco Grand Prix is traditionally held in late May, over four days from Thursday through Sunday. Free practice begins on Thursday, qualifying on Saturday, and the race takes place on Sunday afternoon. Most of our clients charter their yachts in Monaco from Thursday or Friday through Monday morning, with some extending their stay on the Riviera immediately afterward.
A Monaco Grand Prix yacht package refers to a comprehensive Monaco yacht charter for the duration of the Grand Prix, including all the services that make up the weekend: selection of the yacht and its location (Port Hercule or an anchorage facing the circuit), a dedicated crew, catering by a private chef, transfers from Nice or Cannes, coordination of evening events, and a customized reception program. At Nautibliss, each package is tailored to your specific needs, the number of guests, and the level of service you desire: there is no standard package.
Rates for a Monaco yacht charter during Grand Prix weekend are significantly higher than during the typical high season due to the scarcity of berths in Port Hercule and international demand. For a 30- to 40-meter yacht moored in the port, expect to pay between €150,000 and €350,000 (excluding tax) for the weekend, not including fees and additional services. For yachts 50 meters and longer, budgets frequently exceed €500,000. Nautibliss provides a detailed quote based on the charter yacht, duration, and desired itinerary.
Yes, absolutely. The best spots in Port Hercule for the Grand Prix are reserved 12 to 18 months in advance, and the most popular boats are often booked as soon as the previous Grand Prix ends. We recommend contacting us at least 8 to 12 months in advance. For last-minute requests, we offer boat rental options in Monaco at moorings or on vessels still available depending on cancellations.
A yacht in Monaco moored in Port Hercule offers a direct view of the circuit and walking access to the paddocks and the Principality’s nightlife. This is the most prestigious—and rarest—option. A yacht at anchor off the coast of Monaco offers a more distant view of the circuit but a more peaceful experience, with the option to go sailing and complete privacy. Both options are suitable depending on your itinerary and budget: we’ll help you choose the best one.
No, Grand Prix tickets and credentials are separate from the yacht rental. However, Nautibliss can assist you in securing paddock tickets, grandstand seats, or access to the teams’ private boxes, subject to availability, in addition to your private charter.
Yes, Nautibliss offers yacht charters in Monaco year-round, outside of the Grand Prix. Whether it’s a day at sea from Port Hercule, a weekend yacht charter on the Riviera, or a multi-week stay in the Mediterranean, we’ll select the perfect yacht for your plans. Rates for yacht charters in Monaco outside of the Grand Prix are on par with those of the typical high season, significantly lower than during race weekend.
Yes, this is one of the most common arrangements. The yacht remains moored in Port Hercule for the duration of the Grand Prix and serves as a private reception venue: your guests are free to come and go as they please according to the schedule, enjoying the view of the track, the reception areas, and the crew’s service, without any restrictions on navigation.
Whether you want to buy, charter, or have your superyacht managed, our team of experts is available to assist you every step of the way. Enjoy personalized service and recognized expertise in the world of luxury yachting. Your yachting adventure starts here.
