How Much It’ll Cost To Berth Your Superyacht In Monaco Over Grand Prix Weekend

With arguably the most celebrated and spectacular race of the Formula 1 calendar just around the corner, we’ve been debating how much dosh you’d really need to enjoy Grand Prix weekend in Monaco.

That limit, in a nutshell, doesn’t exist. The word “rich” takes on an entirely new definition in the monied principality, and more specifically, in Port Hercule — where the dick-measuring contest of all dick-measuring contests takes place year after year.

So you’ve got yourself a superyacht (well done). Now… how much will it cost you to berth said superyacht in the port for Grand Prix weekend?

Back in 2019, the following chart was published.

As expected, only the biggest fish get the best spots, which are separated into three different zones. Yachts are also charged varying rates based on their size. For a top-tier position with the biggest boat in the port during midday, you would’ve had to pony up approximately €128,000 (including VAT).

But money might not actually be your main hurdle, given it’s regulated by the notoriously hard-to-crack Société d’Exploitation des Ports de Monaco — a committee in charge of allocating mooring around Port Hercule — and berths are in significantly higher demand than the 760 available.

Priority is given to entities or people who have the most relevance to the event, i.e. racing teams, drivers, and official Formula 1 sponsors. That being said, each driver, team, or sponsor may only be associated with one berth request.

Anyone who’s considering sending in an application to park up during the next Monaco Grand Prix can hit the link below to find out more.
