Monaco Grand Prix Yacht Charter: The Best Time to Book

Demand for yacht charters during the Monaco Grand Prix is at an all-time high. Formula One is as glamorous as ever, and the appeal of luxury charter yachts continues to explode. Very few super yachts have a berth secured in Port Hercules in advance of a charter booking, and the port fills up extremely rapidly with well-prepared yacht charter guests and owners booking early.

For the best chance to secure the yacht of your choice with a trackside berth, it is advised to book up to 8 months in advance (some yachts will accept bookings even earlier). If a berth in Port Hercules is less important to you, then selecting your yacht up to 3 months in advance is advised. Despite common conception, booking last minute is unlikely to yield discounts, as demand is so high! Monaco Grand Prix yacht charter is in high demand!

Smart Solutions for the Happy Few

While it is very challenging to secure a berth in Port Hercules during the Monaco Grand Prix, there are some excellent solutions for those who are sadly unsuccessful:

• A limited number of yachts hold year-round berths in Monaco. Do note that these yachts are in limited supply and in high demand, so booking early is essential if looking to charter a luxury yacht.

• Drop anchor in the Bay of Monaco. Guests can then travel to watch the races by luxury tender. It is possible to watch the Grand Prix from numerous track-side events, spectator stands and private yacht parties. This allows you to fully enjoy both a yacht charter and the Monaco Grand Prix races, while saving the fees necessary to secure a berth in Port Hercules (if your application is successful).

• Apply for a berth in Fontvieille. Fontvielle is located East of Port Hercules, and boasts a port with a capacity of 275. Competition is high for Fontvieille during the Grand Prix, however it is less competitive than Port Hercules. Monte Carlo and the Formula One track are just a short tender ride from the port.
