What sets a Monaco Lux Yachts charter apart
Family-safe route planning with shallow-water stops
For charters with children, the captain selects anchorages with calm, shallow water — the sheltered bay at Villefranche-sur-Mer or the lee side of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, where tender drop-offs keep younger guests close to the yacht. Half-day formats are available so the schedule fits around nap times and energy levels, not the other way around.
Multi-day routes and cross-border customs handled for you
Longer voyages toward Cannes, Saint-Tropez or the Italian Riviera involve port clearances and overnight berthing logistics that vary by flag state and season. We plan the customs paperwork, marina reservations and fuel stops in advance so the captain can focus on routing and your time ashore stays uninterrupted.
Late-availability checks across 48 yachts
Plans change. When a charter date firms up on short notice, we cross-reference live availability across our Monaco-based fleet — from 22-metre motor yachts to 56-metre superyachts — and present realistic options rather than a waitlist. Peak-season weekends and Grand Prix dates are the exception; everything else moves faster than most clients expect.
Day rate plus APA — no opaque pricing
Every quote breaks down into the base charter fee, which covers the yacht and crew, and the Advance Provisioning Allowance for fuel, berthing, food and drinks. APA typically runs 25–35 % of the base rate, and any unused balance is returned with an itemised accounting at the end of the voyage.
Crew and vessel matched to the brief, not just headcount
A corporate lunch for ten and a couple's sunset cruise need different boats, different crew energy and different deck layouts. We review the occasion, guest profile and intended route before recommending a vessel — a Sunreef 80 for a relaxed catamaran day, a 50-metre Feadship for a multi-cabin week — so the fit is precise.
Provisioning and beach-club coordination before you board
Dietary requirements, wine preferences and any planned shoreside stops — a tender transfer to Mala Beach, a lunch reservation in Beaulieu-sur-Mer — are confirmed with the crew and local contacts ahead of departure. The goal is that nothing logistical surfaces once the lines are cast.
Monaco
Monaco — where every charter route begins
Monaco's position on the Riviera makes it a natural departure point for charters that range from a three-hour sunset loop off Port Hercule to a full week threading the coastline toward Cannes or beyond. Our fleet of 48 yachts — from agile 22-metre motor yachts built for half-day coastal runs to crewed superyachts above 50 metres with full hotel-service crews — means the vessel scales to the occasion, not the other way around. Day charters suit couples or small groups who want a swim stop near Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and lunch on the water; multi-day voyages open up quieter anchorages along the stretch from Èze-sur-Mer to Beaulieu-sur-Mer, where the morning traffic thins and the captain can hold position in a sheltered cove while the tender heads to shore.
Seasonality shapes the experience as much as the route. July and August deliver long days and warm evenings, but the bays fill early and popular berths require forward planning. June and September reward flexible clients with lighter seas, wider yacht availability and anchorages that feel private without a detour. Pricing follows a transparent day-rate-plus-APA model — the charter fee covers the yacht and crew, while the APA funds fuel, provisioning and port fees, all accounted for at voyage end. Whether the brief is a corporate afternoon for eight, a family week with shallow-water stops, or a short evening cruise timed to the light over Cap d'Ail, we build the charter around your schedule and hand the routing to a captain who knows where the coast is quiet.

Frequently asked questions
A quick read of what most charter clients ask before booking.
-
Do I need a licence to charter a yacht from Monaco?
For a crewed charter, no licence is required — the captain and crew handle all navigation and seamanship. If you prefer a bareboat arrangement on a smaller vessel, relevant qualifications may be needed depending on the flag state and vessel size. The majority of our fleet operates with professional crew, so most clients never need to present certification.
-
How many guests can join a day charter versus an overnight voyage?
Day charters on most vessels accommodate up to 12 guests, which is the standard regulatory limit for commercially coded yachts under way. Sleeping capacity is lower and varies by yacht — a 22-metre Sunseeker may offer three cabins for six overnight guests, while a 50-metre Feadship or Oceanco superyacht can sleep 10 to 12 across multiple staterooms. We match vessel size to your group so neither the day nor the overnight experience feels crowded.
-
What does the charter price actually cover, and what is APA?
The base charter rate covers the yacht itself, crew wages and standard insurance. The Advance Provisioning Allowance — APA — is a separate fund, typically 25–35 % of the base rate, deposited before departure to cover fuel, berthing fees, food, drinks and any additional requests made during the trip. At the end of the charter the captain presents an itemised accounting, and any unused balance is returned. This structure keeps the day rate transparent and lets you control running costs.
-
Can the captain adjust our route on the day for weather or quieter anchorages?
Absolutely. Every crewed charter includes a pre-departure route discussion, but the captain retains discretion to adapt once under way — rerouting to the sheltered waters off Villefranche-sur-Mer if a south-westerly swell builds, or swapping a busier lunch stop for a calmer cove near Cap d'Ail or Beaulieu-sur-Mer. This flexibility is one of the real advantages of a skippered charter over a fixed-route experience. If you have a strong preference — a swim stop at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a sunset pass along the Principality — let us know in advance and the captain will plan around it.
-
When should I book, and is June or September worth considering over peak summer?
For July and August charters, or any voyage timed around the Grand Prix or the Monaco Yacht Show, booking several months ahead is strongly advised — popular superyachts commit early. June and September offer a genuine alternative: calmer seas, lighter traffic at anchorages along the Riviera, and broader vessel availability. Water conditions remain comfortable, and the coastline between Èze-sur-Mer and Cannes is far less congested. If your dates are flexible, these shoulder months often deliver a more relaxed charter at the same level of service.
-
What types of yacht are available, from day boats to superyachts?
Our Monaco-based fleet spans 48 yachts, ranging from sporty 22-metre motor yachts suited to half-day coastal runs up to 56-metre superyachts with full hotel-standard crew, multiple decks and tender garages. Builders in the current selection include Sunseeker, Sunreef, Feadship, Oceanco and Philip Zepter, among others. Whether you need a compact platform for a sunset cruise off Port Hercule or a multi-deck vessel for a week along the French and Italian Riviera, we match hull, crew complement and onboard amenities to the way you plan to use the boat — not just to headcount.
