No wonder this destination is one of the best luxury holiday spots to visit, and what better way to experience the glitz and glamour of Monaco than from a superyacht.
One of the leading online charter sites like www.borrowaboat.com provide chartered luxury yachts in Monaco to suit any sailor and any budget. Whether you want the finest superyacht, or you are seeking a more authentic sailing experience, you can find all the options below.
Why Charter a yacht in Monaco?
Monaco is set in the French Riviera, a destination that is both French, but also a culture of it’s own, making it unique. From great sailing conditions, sandy beaches, to bars, restaurants and casinos, it’s not hard to see why Monaco is a prime destination of choice for many sailors.
If you’re a Formula 1 fan, then Monaco is the on the top of the bucket list and chartering a yacht can provide you with an experience second to none. Imagine front row seats for the most adrenaline-fuelled, high-profiled events, but not just any front row seats, superyacht front row seats.
Monaco has become the destination for chartering a yacht to watch the F1, giving you effectively your own private box.
But if F1 isn’t all you’re after, then Monaco has a lot more to offer than World-renowned racetrack.
During the summer months, winds tend to be calmer, and the Mistral Winds are usually less threatening to sailing conditions, making this the perfect place to explore South France’s coastline.
From sandy beaches to local ports with bustling markets, local wines, Michelin-starred restaurants, or small bistros, there is something for everyone at Monaco.
Types of Charter Boats
To charter a boat in France, through Borrow A Boat, is a relatively easy task that does not differ much from other Countries. Most European and international sailing qualifications are accepted by French boat charters, but you will need to ensure you have the correct insurance and a security deposit in order to secure your charter.
Whether you choose a crewed charter, or bareback charter, your choice will determine what paperwork you will need to submit and the price of the trip. For bareback charters you will have to prove your sailing qualifications, whereas crewed charters are ideal for inexperienced sailors, or those wishing to give up the responsibility and simply relax.
When chartering a boat through Borrow A Boat, you will be presented with the following options:
Motor Yacht
Whether you’re looking for a 70-meter superyacht to watch the Formula 1, or whether you’re looking for a more intimate motor yacht experience, there is plenty of choice. By choosing motor over sail, you’re not limited by the wind and everyday becomes a day for exploring.
Cruise the crystal-clear waters in Monaco, follow coastlines and explore hidden coves, all at your own pace and when you choose to go. The only catch is that you will have to pay for fuel.
Motor Catamaran
If you have your heart set on a Catamaran, but don’t like the idea of sailing, then you can still charter out a motor catamaran. With the best of both worlds, you can enjoy the luxurious interiors with plenty of spaces, for friends and family, while cruising the coastline at your own pace and leisure.
Leave the wind behind you and explore Monaco on your terms.
Sailing Catamaran
For those that want to sail, a Catamaran is one of the best options since it provides stability when cutting through the water, making it easy for everyone to enjoy.
With ample space and more luxurious interiors, Catamarans are the height of luxury sailing. Ranging from smaller sizes to super-sized, you can choose a size to suit your requirements.
When considering a bareback Catamaran charter, it’s important to bear in mind that the large the boat the heavier it’ll be to manoeuvre and the more complex these manoeuvres become.
Suited to the more constant winds of the Mediterranean, a sailing catamaran is the ideal choice when considering chartering a luxury yacht in Monaco.
Monohull Sailing Yacht
For a more authentic sailing experience, a monohull is a must. Feel the waves throw the boat from side to side, experience the lean and thrill of a fast gust of wind.
Monohull sailing yachts are manoeuvrable in almost all conditions, whether you face Mistral winds, the Atlantic Ocean or the calmer waters of the Mediterranean. Likewise, they are amenable for almost all levels of experience.
Since monohulls can be fairly small in size, they provide an option for those that have a more modest budget. If you prefer a more authentic and initiate setting then a Monohull sailing boat can provide you with an unforgettable experience.
Canal and Riverboats
If you fancy a change of pace and want to swap the salt water for fresh water for a few days, there are plenty of options to charter a canal or river boat during your stay. With a vast waterway network, you may enjoy sightseeing in a way that no yacht could possibly give you.
There are many ways to charter a luxury yacht in Monaco, or further afield in the Mediterranean, but it all comes down to personal preference. Whether you are looking for a yacht to charter, experience the Formula 1 and enjoy some boat parties, or whether you’re looking for a more authentic sailing experience for your family, your choices can be catered for by Borrow A Boat.
With hundreds of boats available you can pick and choose they type for sailing holiday you want. From barback chartered yachts, to luxury, all-inclusive crewed options. All you have to decide is how much you are willing to spend.
