REQUEST VIP coordinates superyacht charter in Monaco for Riviera cruising and event-period stays. Send dates, guest and cabin counts, berth preference and programme; the concierge can compare documented yachts and coordinate port applications, crew, provisioning, transfers and shore plans, subject to written yacht, port and supplier availability.

Key Facts

  • Port Hercule is a deep-water port with 760 published berths, but allocation is yacht- and date-specific.
  • Port rules list a 3-knot maximum and continuous monitoring on VHF channel 12.
  • Berth, charter and event access are 3 separate products that each require confirmation.

Available Yachts and Rates

Compare cabins, certified day and overnight capacities, stabilisation, deck use, crew structure, tenders and accessibility. REQUEST VIP must add . A proposal separates base fee, tax, fuel or expense allowance, delivery, berth, provisioning, deposit and cancellation; add .

For a few hours, compare a Monaco day yacht rather than unused accommodation. The Monaco charter hub explains smaller formats.

Embarkation Ports, Berths and Event Logistics

Length, beam, draught, shore power, security and port allocation determine whether Port Hercule works. Another Riviera marina or tender plan may be necessary. .

During the Monaco Grand Prix or Monaco Yacht Show, an ordinary berth quote is insufficient. Written confirmation must identify dates, position, access rules and inclusions. The yacht alone grants no race view or ticket.

Itinerary Ideas, Crew and Water Toys

The captain plans Riviera cruising around weather, port instructions and safe anchorages. For multiple nights, confirm customs or immigration needs, delivery fees and guest documents before naming distant ports.

Crew roles, languages, dietary process and preference sheets should appear in the proposal. Tenders and toys must be listed individually; personal watercraft or diving may require permits, licences and instructors. .

Contract and Operating Review

A Monaco superyacht proposal should identify the contracting entity, commercial registration, insurance, crew, legal guest limits and exact period. Ask whether delivery and redelivery occur in Monaco or another Riviera port, and which positioning, fuel, berth, tax, agency and communications costs sit outside the base rate. No amount should be presented until those terms are verified.

The itinerary remains conditional. Confirm cruising area, night passages, tender operations, customs where relevant and the captain's authority to substitute a port. Build a priority list of essential stops and acceptable alternatives. Document cabin allocation, crew service, meal plan, dietary requests, beverages, laundry, connectivity and toy qualifications. Equipment may require licences, instructors or suitable conditions. Children, pets, security staff and entertainers need written approval; visitors and tenders never increase legal capacity.

Due Diligence before Signature

Match the brochure to the contract: yacht identity, flag and commercial status, contracting company, insurance, crew, cabin arrangement, overnight and cruising guest limits, delivery condition, ports and dates. Request the cancellation schedule, payment milestones, security deposit mechanism, damage process and who holds client funds. Verify the complete estimate for positioning, fuel, tax, berths, tenders, agency, provisioning, beverages, communications, laundry, transfers and any crew-related expenses rather than comparing base rates alone.

The guest file should cover passports or identification requested, arrival details, children, pets, dietary or medical information, mobility, security and outside providers. Ask when the manifest and preferences are due. For every toy, confirm onboard inventory, age or licence rules, instructor and operating area. For every proposed port, record berth-request status and a captain-approved alternative. The signed itinerary cannot overrule safety, law, customs or port authority decisions.

Final Handover Check

Before arrival, obtain one operating sheet with the yacht contact, berth or tender point, guest manifest deadline, luggage method, first meal, cabin plan, emergency contact and transfer instructions. This practical handover should match the signed contract and latest captain-approved itinerary.

How It Works

  1. Send dates, guests, cabins, event or cruising purpose, berth preference and budget.
  2. Receive with yachts and provisional port logic.
  3. Review contract, expenses, port rules, crew, equipment and cancellation.
  4. Confirm funds, then finalise berth, guest documents, provisioning and captain-approved route.
