An 80 metre superyacht charter in Monaco is the ultimate expression of the French Riviera at its most storied and glamorous. Port Hercule accommodates yachts of this size, and during the Monaco Grand Prix the floating breakwater alongside which these vessels berth is the most photographed in yachting. At this length the vessel carries twenty or more crew, provides an outdoor pool, a gymnasium, a cinema, multiple dining terraces and a complete water sports and tender operation from a dedicated beach club.
The global pool of 80 metre charter yachts is small, and those that operate in Monaco during the summer season are consistently among the finest from Lurssen, Feadship, Oceanco and a handful of custom builders. Transatlantic range allows these vessels to arrive for the Monaco season from the Caribbean and depart for the Indian Ocean once the summer closes. Build and refit standards are current at every level.
Weekly rates for an 80 metre charter yacht in Monaco range from approximately 500,000 euros to well over 1,000,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance for fuel, food, port fees and extras adds 30 to 35 per cent on top. The Monaco Grand Prix week in late May commands the single highest premiums in Riviera charter. July and August are the most committed summer months.
From Monaco an 80 metre superyacht makes the full Riviera circuit from Menton to Saint-Tropez look easy, and adds Corsica, Sardinia and Portofino within reach of a two-week charter.
