Frequently asked questions
01 Where do Monaco boat charters depart from?
Most journeys begin from Port de Beaulieu, Rent a Boat’s home harbour, before sailing towards Monaco. On certain trips, boarding may also be arranged from Monaco’s Marina or nearby harbours. Your skipper will confirm the exact meeting point once your booking is set.
02What are the highlights of a Monaco boat charter?
Cruising into Monaco is like gliding through a movie scene. Expect the sparkle of Monte Carlo Marina, the elegance of Larvotto Beach, the history of the Rock of Monaco, and secluded coves where the water begs you to dive in. Every turn along the coast is another story waiting to be captured.
03How long should I book a Monaco charter?
If you’re after a short, scenic escape, 2-3 hours is perfect for a taste of Riviera charm. For the full experience, book a half-day or full-day (4–8 hours). That way, you can pause for swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing, or even a leisurely seaside lunch.
04Are snorkelling or paddleboarding available in Monaco?
Absolutely. Many of our Monaco charters include snorkelling masks and paddleboards so you can dive into the glittering Mediterranean or glide across it at your own pace. If you’d like something extra, say, premium gear or special water toys, we can arrange it in advance to make your day on the water even more unforgettable.
05Why are Monaco boat charters more expensive?
Monaco is the crown jewel of the French Riviera, and its charters reflect that. With a harbour full of superyachts, a clientele of the world’s wealthiest travellers, and high operating costs, including a 20% VAT on charters starting here, prices are naturally higher. But what you gain is a front-row seat to luxury. Cruising in the same waters where movie stars, royals, and billionaires drop anchor.
06Are the boats safe in Monaco waters?
Yes, Monaco’s waters are among the safest in the Mediterranean. Strict maritime regulations, constant monitoring, and close cooperation with French and international authorities keep the seas secure. Add to that our professional captains and well-maintained fleet, and you can relax knowing your adventure is in safe hands.
07Who should choose a Monaco charter?
A Monaco charter is for anyone who wants to experience the French Riviera at its most glamorous. Couples can enjoy a romantic sunset cruise, families and small groups can spend a day swimming and exploring hidden coves, and those with a taste for luxury will love the premium service and scenic coastal views.
08Can we stop for swimming or lunch during the trip?
Of course. With a skipper, you can drop anchor in sparkling bays for a swim or let your captain recommend chic waterfront restaurants for an unforgettable lunch. If you’re self-driving, you’ll also find plenty of safe anchor spots where you can pause, swim, and savour your own seaside picnic.
09How much to rent a yacht in Monaco?
With us at Rent a Boat by Hour you can begin that adventure from around €900, the starting price for one of our charter yachts. Of course, the final figure depends on which vessel you choose, how many hours you cruise, the season, and any extra touches you may want.
