As the weather heats up on the French Riviera, so does the anticipation for the Monaco Historic Grand Prix and the infamous Formula 1 Grand Prix which both take place in May. Chartering a luxury yacht in the harbour puts you at the heart of the action for both events, and the glamourous parties hosted against the historic architectural background of Monte Carlo.
Cars from the golden era of motor racing between 1930 and 1980 will be tackling the legendary Monaco circuit a few weeks before the challenging Formula 1 race attracts motorsports enthusiasts and the rich and famous alike. Drawn by the thrill of the trackside and the allure of the champagne, visitors crowd the streets, but on board a charter yacht you get to watch the races in comfort while enjoying the amenities and service on board.
The region is home to luxury yachts of all shapes and sizes which can be chartered for a few days in Monaco or for a few weeks as part of a longer vacation in the South of France. We are delighted to share our choice of yachts available for charter during this year’s Grand Prix events – many of which can also host large quayside events.
