About displacement yachts in Monaco
Monaco is a small coastline with an outsized place in the yacht market. A displacement yacht pushes through the water rather than climbing on top of it, and that single fact shapes everything else about her. Lengths among the displacement yachts listed in Monaco run from 29 m to 78 m. The ports they are lying at include Monaco.
Buying in Monaco
- VAT and tax
- Monaco is not an EU member state, but under the Franco-Monegasque customs agreement of 18 May 1963 it forms a customs union with France and is part of the EU customs territory, and VAT is charged on the same basis and at the same rate as in France: 20% as at September 2026. A yacht in free circulation in the EU is treated the same in Monaco, and EU temporary admission rules (generally up to 18 months) apply to non-EU yachts of non-EU residents.

- Flag and registration
- Monegasque nationals and residents can register a yacht under the Monaco flag with the Department of Maritime Affairs; yachts over 24 metres need a classification certificate and an annual naturalisation fee is payable. Many large yachts based in Monaco fly other flags commonly used for superyachts, such as the Cayman Islands, the Marshall Islands, Malta or the Red Ensign.
- Berths
- Port Hercule has 760 berths in deep water and hosts the Monaco Yacht Show, the Yacht Club de Monaco marina welcomes yachts up to 60 metres, and Port de Fontvieille has 290 berths. Just across the border in France, Port de Cap d'Ail has 10 berths for yachts from 40 to 65 metres; berths in Monaco are limited and are usually booked well ahead of the summer.
- Refit and survey
- Heavy refit for yachts based in Monaco is generally carried out at yards on the nearby French coast. La Ciotat handles around 150 yachts a year, about a hundred of them over 50 metres, and MB92 operates refit yards at La Ciotat and Golfe-Juan.
- When to view
- Monaco is at the centre of the Mediterranean summer season, broadly May to October. The Monaco Yacht Show is held each September at Port Hercule (23 to 26 September in 2026) and is one of the main occasions to view large yachts afloat.

Questions buyers ask
How does buying a yacht through Boatcrowd work?
You tell us which yacht interests you through the enquiry form on her listing. We confirm she is still available at the price shown, collect the documents the seller holds, and arrange a viewing wherever she is lying. From there the usual sequence is an offer subject to survey and sea trial, a deposit held in a client account, the survey and trial themselves, and then closing and registration. The Boatcrowd team coordinates each step and stays with you through it.
What does the VAT status on a listing mean?
VAT paid means European Union value added tax has been settled on the yacht and she can be used privately in EU waters without a further liability arising from that. VAT unpaid means it has not been settled, which suits a buyer who will keep the yacht outside the EU or import her under an arrangement of their own. The difference is a significant part of the asking price, so it is worth establishing before an offer is made. Where the seller has given us the status, it is printed on the listing.
Why do some listings say Price on Request?
Because the seller has chosen not to publish a figure. It is common at the top of the market and on yachts that have only just come available, and it says nothing about where the price sits in either direction. Send an enquiry from the listing and the Boatcrowd team will come back to you with the number and with what it includes.
Do I need a survey and a sea trial?
On any yacht that has been in the water, yes. A survey establishes the condition of the hull, the machinery and the systems, and a sea trial shows how she actually behaves at operating speed and at anchor. Offers are normally made subject to both, so the findings can be discussed before anything is final. On a yacht in build the equivalent is the yard's own sequence of inspections and the handover trials at the end of it.
