Yacht charter — Saint-Tropez to Monaco
The grand passage east — around 60 nautical miles to Monaco and Port Hercule, timed for the Monaco Yacht Show season and the Principality’s legendary harbour.
A yacht charter Saint-Tropez to Monaco runs around 60 nautical miles; luxury yacht charter Monaco, monaco superyacht charter and monaco yacht rental all belong to this eastern run. Arriving at Port Hercule you pass the Yacht Club de Monaco on the quay — the yacht club Monaco visitors come to see — beside the harbour of the Monaco Yacht Show.
The route
The coast, bay by bay
From the Gulf to the Principality, the eastern Riviera unfolds slowly — red cliffs at the Esterel, the pines of the Lérins, the Cap d'Antibes, and finally the harbour at Monaco.
We can run it as one long day with the wind behind us, or draw it out over a cruise with nights at anchor. The stops are yours to choose; we hold the helm and the timing.

Good to know
The day, plainly
Yes, in good conditions — it is a long, full day under way with brief stops. Many prefer to spread it over a short cruise with a night at anchor; we advise on what suits your party.
A berth in Monaco can be arranged subject to availability and quoted with the charter. Otherwise we anchor nearby and tender in, or turn back along the coast.
Of course. Antibes, Cannes, Villefranche or a longer swim at the Lérins — the route is a suggestion. Tell us what you'd like to see and we shape it around the sea.
On quote. Distance, yacht, season and any berthing all factor in, so we price each itinerary individually — clearly and in full before you confirm.
