Monaco Charter Itinerary

Monaco Itinerary

Monaco Yacht Charter
Two square kilometres, thirty-nine thousand people and the densest concentration of yachts anywhere on earth. Monaco is less a country than an arrangement, and it works: a harbour cut into the rock, a casino that funded the state, and a grand prix run through the streets because there was nowhere else to put it.





This route uses the principality as its pivot rather than its backdrop, running west along the coast and back. The passages are short. The point is the concentration ’ a hill village, a film town and a fishing port, all within a morning of each other.





Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read Monaco and the Riviera; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Nice to Èze

Board at Nice and run east under the corniche. Èze sits four hundred metres up on a rock, a village of vaulted passages and a garden of cacti at the summit where the view runs from Italy to the Esterel. Nietzsche walked the path up and claimed it gave him a book. Anchor below, and dine at the Chèvre d’Or if the evening warrants it.

Day 2

Monaco

Into Port Hercule, a harbour the Greeks used and the Grimaldis rebuilt. The Casino de Monte-Carlo paid for the modern state and still looks the part; the Prince’s Palace above the old town is guarded with a straight face. Superyachts three deep along the quay. Whatever you make of it, nowhere else is remotely like it.

Day 3

Cannes

West to Cannes, which spends eleven months as a pleasant Riviera town and one month as the centre of the film industry. La Croisette, the beach clubs, and behind them Le Suquet ’ the old quarter on the hill, where the town began and the restaurants are better. Anchor off the Lérins for the afternoon.

Day 4

Saint-Tropez

On to Saint-Tropez, whose harbour still has the shape of the fishing village it was until Bardot arrived in 1956. Designer shops in lanes built for nets. Pampelonne runs for five kilometres behind the point, with Club 55 at the middle of it ’ still, improbably, a beach shack that grew. Anchor off; take the tender in.

Day 5

Saint-Tropez

Stay a second day. The Musée de l’Annonciade holds Signac, Bonnard and Matisse in a deconsecrated chapel, and almost nobody goes. Then the coves south of the point, empty by mid-morning. A cocktail overlooking the harbour, and an evening that will end considerably later than intended.

Day 6

Cap d’Antibes

Cruise back east to Cap d’Antibes, a wooded headland of high walls, long driveways and the Hotel du Cap at the end of it. Swim at La Garoupe, walk the sentier du littoral around the point, and take the Thuret gardens ’ a botanical station where the eucalyptus of southern France was first planted.

Day 7

Nice

Finish in Nice. Vieux Nice is Italian in everything but the flag: ochre walls, washing lines, socca eaten standing up from a copper plate. Climb Castle Hill for the Baie des Anges, take the Matisse museum in Cimiez, and end with a table by the sea. Seven days, and Monaco was only ever the centre of it.
