Guide

Approach and anchoring

Call on VHF 12. In 2022 and 2023 a tender escorted boats to the berth, where marineros passed the lazy line and took lines on the quay. In 2025 one berth lay well sheltered, but the wash of large vessels kept the water moving. Swell ran inside in 2024, after building work around the port changed the water flow. That year a yacht was allowed a four-hour stop at the sailing club pier.

Practical

Berths are booked on the port's website after uploading documents. In 2024 the upload worked only from a computer. A 10 m boat paid 54 euros a night in October 2023. In 2024 crews had to show every passport to the port police on arrival, after filling in the police website forms. Toilets and showers are only by the harbour master's office, across from the small-boat berths. In summer 2024 a boat bus crossed for 2 euros between 8 am and 7 pm.

Story

The Monaco Grand Prix circuit runs along the harbour quays, taken each year by the Formula 1 cars. The Monaco Yacht Show is held here every September.
