Experiences
The Monaco a yacht opens up.
Monaco coastline escape
Leave Monaco behind for the day and cruise the Riviera the way it should be done: with the freedom to stop when something looks too good to pass. Swim, have lunch on board or ashore, take your time, and enjoy the coast without ever feeling rushed or overplanned.
Then return to Monaco with the sense that the best of it is still waiting for you, and that the whole day felt smoother and more elevated because it began on the water.
Monaco, day into night
That is what makes it feel so different from simply booking a table and arriving by car: the yacht stays part of the experience the whole time, giving the day a level of ease, privacy, and polish that Monaco does better than almost anywhere else.
Spend the afternoon on your private yacht, then let Monaco change mood around you as the day turns into evening. Drinks on board, then ashore for dinner, the Casino, or wherever the night is taking you, before returning to the yacht when you are ready.
Monaco Grand Prix by yacht
This is Monaco at its most iconic. Spend race weekend in Port Hercule with the circuit, the atmosphere, and the harbor all unfolding around you from the deck of your yacht.
Between the action on track, the service on board, the guests stepping in and out, and the feeling that the whole Principality is moving around the event, it becomes far more than a place to watch the race. It is one of the rare experiences where the yacht is not beside the event, it is part of it.
Monaco to the French Riviera
Start in Monaco, then let the trip open into something much bigger. Over several days at sea, the yacht becomes your moving base along the French Riviera, with time for longer crossings, lunches in another port, quiet swims, and nights that end somewhere new.
With the crew taking care of every detail on board, the whole journey feels polished, private, and far more elevated than trying to experience the Riviera from land. It becomes less about moving from place to place and more about living the coast properly, with the kind of comfort and freedom that only a yacht gives you.
