REQUEST VIP coordinates catamaran charter in Monaco for Riviera day trips, hosted groups and longer coastal stays. Send date, guests, hours, cabins and sailing or power preference; the concierge can verify the commercial catamaran, legal capacity, crew and accepted harbour or tender plan. Vessel, berth, rate and route remain subject to written confirmation.

Key Facts

  • Port Hercule publishes 760 berths, VHF channel 12 and a maximum harbour speed of 3 knots.
  • Port de Fontvieille publishes 290 berths, a maximum draught of 3 metres, VHF channel 9 and a 3-knot limit.
  • Monaco's published captain guidance prohibits navigation and anchoring in the Larvotto marine reserve.

Available Yachts, Rates and Embarkation Ports

Compare sailing and power catamarans by exact model, current photographs, commercial status, length, beam, draught and layout. Check certified day and night capacities, cockpit shade, saloon, washrooms, swim ladders, cabins and crew space. Beam is decisive: a berth that accepts a similarly long motor yacht may not fit a broad catamaran.

Port Hercule and Fontvieille are distinct facilities with different depth and allocation. Monaco's port rules require contact with the harbour master before entry; a berth request is not itself a confirmed place. Another Riviera marina or a tender may be more practical. The parent Monaco yacht charter page covers the local framework.

REQUEST VIP needs before publication. Compare fee, tax treatment, fuel, delivery, berth, tender, crew, provisions, drinks, toys, transfers, overtime, deposit, weather and cancellation.

Itinerary Ideas, Crew and Water Toys

An eastern Riviera day can focus on Monaco, Cap-Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer or Menton according to the boarding port and conditions. A longer charter may move west towards Antibes or Cannes, but road transfers and sea time should be compared before fixing the base. No restaurant or beach booking creates a legal anchorage or landing.

Confirm captain, deck and service roles, meal format, dietary deadline, shade and child lifejackets. Toys only apply when listed for the named catamaran. Licences, instructors, guest ages, marine reserves, local orders and the captain can restrict use. .

Beam, Port Entry and Guest Boarding

The offer must state the accepted berth or tender, harbour contact, gate, map pin, guest arrival and luggage method. Port Hercule uses VHF 12 and Fontvieille VHF 9; both publish a 3-knot maximum. The captain follows live harbour instructions and commercial traffic, not a generic meeting label.

Inspect gangway width, step height, actual shaded seating and washroom access at the booked guest count. Reduced mobility, infants, non-swimmers, pets, security staff, entertainers and outside catering require prior operator review. They can affect legal capacity and the safe handover.

Reserves, Posidonia and Route Alternatives

Monaco's Larvotto reserve is not an itinerary stop: official captain guidance prohibits navigation and anchoring there. Other prohibited areas appear on current nautical charts. When the route enters French waters, local Mediterranean anchoring orders and protected Posidonia also apply.

Ask the captain to label each proposed point as scenic passage, permitted anchorage, tender transfer or shore time. Keep a lawful fallback if wind, swell, an official direction or seabed protection removes the preferred stop. A catamaran's shallow draught does not override a reserve boundary.

Contract and Event-Period Checks

Match offer and agreement: exact catamaran, contracting company, flag, commercial registration, insurance, dimensions, capacities, crew, hours or dates, embarkation and redelivery. Record tax, fuel, delivery, ports, tender, provisions, beverages, equipment, transfers, overtime, damage, deposit, cancellation and weather.

During the Monaco Grand Prix or Yacht Show, berth, tender credentials and event access remain separate. Compare a Monaco day yacht for a shorter product, a Monaco motor yacht for another transit profile or a Monaco superyacht for expanded service. The Monaco destination page can align shore arrangements.
