Yacht charter monaco: what monaco yacht charters cost, and why the berth is the scarce thing

Chartering in Monaco is mostly chartering the coast around it. The principality is half a square mile with two harbours and the most concentrated demand for berths anywhere, so boats come from Antibes, Cannes, Golfe-Juan and Beaulieu, visit for a night or an event, and go back. The scarce thing is the berth, not the yacht.

What is published, and what is not

Click&Boat prints a from-price per day against its Monaco listings, which prices a few hours on the water. No company in this record publishes a Monaco weekly rate, which is recorded as a dated absence. For comparison, YachtCharterFleet does print weekly figures against named yachts elsewhere, publishing from $12,000 a week for a 20m motor yacht in Miami, so weekly rates against named boats exist in this trade and were simply not found on a public Monaco page.

The APA is where a Riviera budget is won or lost

On a crewed yacht of the size this coast charters, the weekly fee buys the yacht and the crew. The Advance Provisioning Allowance, normally a percentage of that fee paid to the captain in advance, covers fuel, food, drink, berthing and port charges as they are spent and is reconciled at the end. Monaco berthing in season is expensive enough that the allowance, not the fee, is the number to interrogate.

Event weeks are their own market

Grand Prix week and the yacht show have their own rates and their own berthing, booked far in advance, and boats are brought in from along the coast for both. If your dates are fixed to an event, price them separately and expect no published figure of any kind to describe them.
