Monaco Motor Yacht Charter
We highly recommend chartering a motor yacht in Monaco if your goal is to see as much of the French Riviera as possible. Being on a motor yacht allows you to explore both the French Riviera and the Italian Riviera in the same week. If you would prefer a more serene cruise around the rugged but beautiful French coastline, we recommend chartering a luxury sailing yacht on the French Riviera.
One of the best characteristics of the Côte d'Azur is the sheer variety of charm and culture each port town possesses, but the coast is best explored aboard a yacht. With an office based in Cannes, our Charter Experts have extensive knowledge of the area from all the hotspots, best restaurants, and must-see attractions between Monaco and St Tropez - including the serene Porquerolles National Park.
Day Charter in Monaco
A Monaco yacht charter offers endless possibilities of things to do. Bask in the splendor of the Grimaldi Palace, or relax in uninterrupted serenity at the spa of the Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo. In the evening, head to the legendary Casino and try your luck in a game of Black Jack in true James Bond style. Even if you’re not the gambling type, you can appreciate the frescoes, sculptures, and impeccable design by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris Opera House.
Dine at the chic Nobu Monte Carlo restaurant, and delight in exceptional dishes like their renowned Black Cod Yuzu Miso, while enjoying views of the sparkling Mediterranean. After dinner, if you are not quite ready for the night to end, you can explore the vibrant nightlife. Dance the night away at the trendy nightclub, Twiga; located right before the famous F1 tunnel at the bottom of the Fairmont Hotel and a frequent haunt of the stars, or venture back to the casino for another game or relax onboard.
