Monaco Grand Prix yacht charter - The ultimate guide

By Oliver Pearson   13 April 2018

Promising endless thrills and spills, chartering a yacht at the Monaco Grand Prix is the perfect way to entertain clients or enjoy a vacation you will never forget.

Firmly established as one of the most important and iconic races on the F1 calendar, the Monaco Grand Prix sees the world’s best drivers take to a circuit which runs through the city streets of Monte Carlo and along past the famed Port Hercules.

With superyachts berthed in the deep-water port providing the best seats in the house, discerning visitors gather on spectacular sundecks to catch a glimpse of the action. Dating back to 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix marks the start of the season in the Med and for many is a fun-filled appetizer for those heading out to spend the summer in the South of France. With the cars competing over 78 laps of the 3.3km circuit, the event makes for a highly memorable day.

As a charter guest it is possible to rent a superyacht that has a confirmed berth in one of the designated viewing zones or stay on board a yacht anchored a short distance away, tendering in for the qualifying rounds, parties, and the main event. The Port of Fontvielle, for example, is far less busy and is within tendering distance of the big event.

Of course, with such excitement on offer, demand for yachts at the Monaco Grand Prix is incredibly high. Therefore, getting in the know and making a booking as soon as possible is entirely essential.

Why it's best to charter a yacht at the Monaco Grand Prix

For those who take advantage of a trackside berth, a Monaco Grand Prix yacht charter will typically be comprised of days spent watching race events in comfort and evenings full of soirees.

With the Piscine and Tabac bends within view from the sundecks of the superyachts in Port Hercules, charter guests are also able to observe the action which takes place on the straight which follows them.

The event is spread over a long weekend, with the practice rounds taking place two days before the qualifying round and the final on the Sunday, providing plenty of opportunity for charter guests to check out the talents of the drivers whilst also attending the numerous social receptions which take place across the four day event.
