It’s a place where the rich and famous like to be seen, especially during the hot summer months when the Med is calm and the sky is azure blue. There are many reasons to charter a superyacht in Monaco, so here goes:-

1. Monaco means luxury and so when it comes to a charter yacht holiday Monaco ticks the right boxes. Located on the French Riviera in Western Europe, it overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and borders Italy and France and is only around eight miles north east of Nice and a little further from Antibes, Cannes and St Tropez.

2. Spend a few days in Monaco and go high-end shopping. There’s a fantastic selection of exclusive boutiques such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Hermes and Yves Saint Laurent, what a selection for the world’s second smallest country. Also the restaurants, nightlife and beach clubs are very well known along this coastline…read the rest of the top 10 reasons here.
