Alloy Yachts was a New Zealand builder that produced some of the most accomplished sailing superyachts ever built, working from Henderson in Auckland with advanced aluminium construction and meticulous attention to every detail. The yachts are individually designed vessels, each reflecting a specific owner brief and the yard’s own high standards of structural integrity and finishing. On the charter market, Alloy yachts are sought by clients who understand what genuine quality under sail looks and feels like.
Monaco is an unusual but compelling base for an Alloy sailing charter. Port Hercule provides a secure berth from which the yacht can set sail for Cap Ferrat, Antibes, or the Lérins Islands to the west, or head east to Menton and the Italian Riviera. The principality’s culture of excellence and its international maritime calendar align naturally with the character of these rare yachts.
Weekly rates for Alloy yachts in the South of France typically fall between 80,000 and 250,000 euros per week, depending on the individual vessel. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, food, berthing, and crew expenses. The Mediterranean summer from June to September offers the most consistent sailing conditions and the broadest range of available anchorages.
From Monaco, an Alloy yacht can set sail for Cap Ferrat, Antibes, and the Lérins Islands to the west, covering a classic Riviera passage in a day. Heading east, Menton and the Italian border are within easy reach; Portofino and the Cinque Terre are a natural extension of the Italian sailing leg. The yacht’s offshore capability makes longer passages to Corsica and Sardinia equally viable.
