Monaco Grand Prix berths work differently from an ordinary charter. The berth belongs to the yacht, not to whoever charters her. So the question is never whether we can find you a spot in Port Hercule, it is which of the boats already holding one suits your week.
We have booked a lot of yachts for this event over the years, and the seven below are boats we work with directly and have been aboard ourselves. Between them they cover everything from a 35-guest VIP list to 144 people on deck for the race, so the honest starting point is your guest count.
Race week runs on its own terms rather than the summer rate card. Our Monaco Grand Prix charter guide covers how the week works, what it costs and when to commit. Tell us your dates and numbers and we will tell you which of these actually fits.
Broker insight
There is nothing more prestigious in yachting than docking your superyacht in Port Hercules for the Monaco Grand Prix. I have been in Monaco many times, first working on yachts and now as a broker, and I have booked yachts for the Monaco Yacht Show several times, most recently for 2026. The honest advice for Grand Prix week: the berth is the product. Dockside positions sell out long before the boats do, so we secure the berth and the yacht together, and we start early.

NELA
The biggest dockside capacity on this list
144 guests dockside
NELA is the one to look at when the guest list is the point. Her captain says she runs the Grand Prix every year and hosts 144 people on the aft deck for the race, well beyond anything else here. That experience matters more than it sounds when the numbers are that large.
She is a 42 metre Benetti, refitted in 2025 and refreshed every year, so she presents like a far newer yacht. Away from the deck the main saloon converts to a full cinema room, and the beach club runs a covered gym, steam bath and shower. For a company hosting clients rather than a family watching the race, she is the obvious starting point.
HANA
Bold, colourful, and built for a crowd on the quay
Up to 100 guests dockside
HANA hosts up to 100 guests dockside for the Grand Prix, and she is the one on this list with real personality. The interior is by Laura Pomponi, bright and sharp rather than the usual restrained palette, which makes her a good fit when the evening should feel like an occasion rather than a boardroom.
The bridge saloon is built around a large bar table and lounge, and the sundeck runs sunbeds, a jacuzzi, a central bar and its own day head. There is also a beach club with an indoor gym.
GHOST III
Race week and the week after, on one charter
Close to 100 guests aboard
GHOST III does the Grand Prix with close to 100 guests aboard, then goes straight into a cruising week along the Cote d’Azur. That combination is the useful part: the race from the deck, and a proper Riviera week afterwards, without arranging two separate charters.
Her crew have run the event before. Worth asking early, because the pairing is what makes her go first.
KIJO
Proven Monaco GP regular with a trackside berth
Up to 100 guests dockside
When we inspected KIJO in Sanremo she looked like she had just come out of the shipyard, which is remarkable for a yacht over twenty years old. Surfaces, joinery and soft furnishings all felt freshly done, the result of a recent multimillion-dollar refit that arguably leaves her better value than a new build. The interior is very Monaco: steel, leather and marble in detailed patterns.
She holds a recurring berth stern-to the track, which is the guaranteed prime spot on this list, and takes up to 100 guests dockside. That suits sponsors, corporates and large private events. She is also a regular on Monaco to St Tropez party-cruise itineraries around race week, and has hosted families, friends’ groups and even football teams.

CHAMPAGNE & CAVIAR
F1-themed, high-energy GP yacht
Around 35 guests dockside
CHAMPAGNE & CAVIAR is pure Monaco energy: Formula 1 themed, bold red-and-white styling, and a layout that works well for entertaining. The theme is strong enough that the yacht instantly feels part of the event. When we toured her with Australian Captain David it was clear she is built around fun, focused race-week charters.
Static capacity is around 35 guests, which suits sponsors or a tight VIP list rather than a mass reception. She is run by a hands-on, organised captain and crew used to race week, and she is a very competitive entry point for a dedicated Grand Prix yacht.

MAR ALLURE
Best-value trackside yacht with huge sundeck
Confirmed dock for 2026, inquire for 2027
We have been aboard MAR ALLURE several times, and for race week she is a sweet spot: a confirmed dock, and what we genuinely consider one of the best sundecks for hosting in this size range. It is huge and open, with a jacuzzi, bar, grill, loungers and shade already laid out for a group watching the action.
New for 2026 are a water slide, e-foil, extra gym equipment and an optional morning trainer. Six cabins sleep up to twelve, which suits a full friends-or-family takeover, and the crew are why people come back: consistently strong service, food and condition.
DESAMIS B
Classic Benetti, ideal for families & VIP groups
Inquire for 2027 availability
DESAMIS B is a classic Benetti from 1994 with a fully refitted exterior and a warm, elegant original interior. When we visited her in Sanremo the welcome and the crew’s attitude stood out immediately.
Her cabin layout is genuinely family-friendly: two twin cabins, one convertible and one with a Pullman, connected by a door. That suits families or multi-generational groups combining the race with cruising. The Croatian crew are experienced, her home berth is Genoa, and she is a solid choice if you prefer warm, timeless style over ultra-minimal design.
