Quanto custa um iate para o Grande Prêmio de Mônaco em 2026?

If you have asked “how much does a Monaco Grand Prix yacht cost”, you have probably been quoted between €500 and €1,000,000 and not been told why. The honest answer: there are five tiers, and the price gap between them is wider than most websites let on. Below: the full breakdown in EUR, what each tier actually buys, and how to pick the cheapest level that still gives you a deck.

The 5 yacht tiers, lowest to highest

Tier 1: Outside the harbour
From €450 to €700 for the boat, half day

A skipper-driven charter from Cap d’Ail, Villefranche or Beaulieu, anchored just outside the Monaco harbour exclusion zone on race day. You hear the cars, watch the race on the broadcast on board, and pay a fraction of the in-harbour price. 4 to 8 people, BYO food and drink.

  • Best for: small groups, budget-conscious, calm sea preference
  • What you miss: trackside view, hospitality, the “look at me” factor
  • Per-person cost (group of 6): around €75 to €120
Tier 2: Yacht cocktail party
From €550 to €700+ per person, one evening

A ticket on a third-party yacht in Port Hercule, evening only (typically 7:30pm to 1am). Open bar, DJ, food canapes, and a deck view of the marina. Sold through Senate GP, F1 Experiences, Red Eye Events. The entry point for trackside hospitality without seven-figure spend.

  • Best for: solo, couple or small group, one-night experience
  • What you miss: race-day view (most yacht cocktail parties are Thursday or Friday)
  • Includes: open bar, food, DJ, deck access
Tier 3: Race-day yacht day pass
From €890 to €4,000 per person, one race day

A ticket on a third-party yacht in Port Hercule for race day or qualifying, including hospitality during the session. Prices scale with the zone (trackside front-row yachts run the top of the band) and with the day (race Sunday is the most expensive).

  • Best for: people who specifically want to watch the race from a yacht and do not need their own deck
  • Verify: which session is included (race only, race + qualifying, etc.)
  • Includes: brunch or lunch, open bar, hostess service, deck and salon access
Tier 4: Private day charter
From €1,500 to €6,000 per day, for the boat

You charter a 12m to 24m motor yacht with skipper and hostess for the day. Cruise the coast in the morning, anchor offshore for the race in the afternoon, return for dinner. 6 to 12 people. Boat is yours, schedule is yours, but you do not enter the closed harbour during sessions.

  • Best for: groups of 6 to 12, multi-day trip, private day, less crowd
  • Per-person cost (group of 8): around €190 to €750
  • Add-ons: catering, jetski, paddleboards
Tier 5: Full superyacht charter and Port Hercule berthing
€250,000 to €1,500,000+ per week, plus expenses

The 30m to 70m crewed superyacht with private berth in Port Hercule, on the track. Week-long charter (delivery to Monaco, GP weekend, optional cruise). APA (advance provisioning allowance) of approximately 25 to 30 percent on top, plus VAT (around 22 percent in EU waters). Handled by Fraser, Camper & Nicholsons, Edmiston, YachtCharterFleet and similar brokers. Port Hercule berthing alone runs from approximately €20,000 (smaller berths) to €150,000+ (prime trackside zones) for the GP week.

  • Best for: corporate hospitality, family or friend group of 8 to 12, multi-week Riviera plan
  • Includes: captain, crew, fuel (within APA), full catering, water toys
  • Not included: dockage premiums in some contracts, race-day spectator zone permits

Day pass: what €890 to €4,000 actually buys you

This is the most-misunderstood ticket of the weekend. A yacht day pass is not a yacht charter. It is hospitality on someone else’s boat for one day or one evening.

  • What you get. Trackside deck and salon access from morning to late afternoon (race day) or 7:30pm to 1am (evening). Open bar (champagne, wine, spirits, beer, cocktails). Brunch and lunch buffet on race day, canapes in the evening. Hostess service. Sometimes a DJ.
  • What you do not get. A private cabin. A bedroom on the yacht overnight. The right to bring extra guests. Race-tickets to the circuit itself.
  • Why the price varies so much. Zone. A trackside front-row berth (T-Pit area, Antoine 1er) is €2,500 to €4,000. A second-row Quai des Etats-Unis berth is €890 to €1,500. The yacht size and brand do not change the view much.
  • How to verify the zone. Ask for the berth ID and check it on the Monaco GP berthing map (publicly available). If the operator will not say, walk away.
  • Dress code. Smart cocktail, no stilettos on deck. Yachts that enforce dress codes also enforce age (18+).

    • Private charter: who it is for

    A private day charter is the smartest mid-budget play for a group of 6 to 12. You do not enter the closed harbour during the race, but you can anchor offshore, your group has the deck to itself, and the per-person cost beats Tier 3 once you are above 6 people.

    Boat sizeCapacidadeDay price (GP weekend)Per-person at full capacity
    10m to 12m semi-rigid4 to 6€800 to €1,500€130 to €250

    20m to 24m motor yacht10 to 12€4,500 to €6,000+€375 to €600+

    Add 10 to 20 percent on top of any quote for fuel, food, drinks and skipper tip. See our Monaco boat rental guide for the practical “how to book” side.

    Berthing your own yacht in Port Hercule

    If you own (or are chartering) the yacht itself, the berthing fee is a separate line item. Monaco’s port authority releases GP-week berths via tender, and the prices reflect zone, size and contract length.

    • 20m to 30m yacht, peripheral berth. From approximately €20,000 to €40,000 for GP week.
    • 30m to 50m yacht, mid zone. Approximately €40,000 to €80,000 for GP week.
    • 50m+ yacht, trackside. €80,000 to €150,000+ for GP week, with the prime T-Pit zone at the top of the range.
    • Booking window. Most berths are allocated 6 to 9 months ahead. Last-minute slots open when contracts fall through, usually April-May.

      • The cheapest legitimate way to watch from sea

      A 4-person semi-rigid charter from Cap d’Ail (5 minutes by train from Monaco), anchored just outside the harbour exclusion zone during the race. From approximately €450 to €700 for a half-day with skipper. Per person: under €120. You bring food, drink and your own broadcast feed on a phone. You hear the cars and you watch the boats berthed inside the harbour without paying their nightly rate.

      What is a Monaco Grand Prix yacht day pass?
      A ticket that buys you access to a third-party yacht berthed at Port Hercule on one race-weekend day. It typically includes hospitality (food, open bar) and a trackside deck view. Prices start from approximately €890 and reach €4,000+ for race day on a prime-zone yacht.
