How much does a yacht charter in Monaco cost?
Charter pricing has a reputation for being deliberately opaque. It is not, once you know the four things you are actually paying for. This page sets out how a charter in Monaco is priced, what sits inside the headline figure and what sits outside it, so that you can read a quote and know whether it is a fair one before you speak to anyone.
The figures come from the fleet we represent in Monaco and are refreshed nightly. They are the shape of the market rather than a quote: a binding quote comes from the yacht owner or operator company for your specific dates.
A charter is priced by the yacht for the whole boat, not per person. Typical week rates: 80 to 100 ft, $75,876 to $88,228. 160 ft and above, $355,537 to $700,392. Typical day rates: 80 to 100 ft, $12,646 to $14,705. 160 ft and above, $59,257 to $116,732. On top of the charter fee, budget around 35% for the APA, 20% TVA and a discretionary crew gratuity of around 10%.
What You Are Actually Paying For
A crewed charter has four parts. Only the first is the figure you see advertised, which is why a quote can look like a surprise when it is really just the same charter written out in full.

What Sets the Price in Monaco
- Where charters board
Charters in Monaco board at Port Hercule, Port de Fontvieille, Cap-d’Ail Marina, and nights alongside are paid out of the APA rather than billed on top of the charter fee.
- Getting to the boat
The long-haul airport is Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), 30–40 min by road to Port Hercule, and transfers are arranged by the crew rather than included in the charter fee.
- When the season runs
The charter season in Monaco runs Apr – Sep, the peak weeks are May – Aug, and summer sea temperature is around 20–25°C. Grand Prix week in late May is the principality's defining charter moment – berths book out months ahead, with the Yacht Show closing the season in late September.
