Yacht Charter & Rental in Monaco: what you need to know
The companies in the category

Several companies also rent smaller boats, with or without a skipper. Most come under code 4614Y Intermediary activities in the wholesale of machinery, industrial equipment, ships and aircraft.
How a charter works
The charter price of a crewed yacht generally covers the boat and the crew. Fuel, provisioning, port fees and drinks are often added, in the form of an advance paid before departure. The charter specialist helps choose the boat and the itinerary, and prepares the contract. For the Grand Prix or the summer, it is advisable to book several months ahead.
The price generally covers the boat and its crew. Fuel, food, drinks and port fees are often charged on top, from an advance paid before departure. The contract sets out these terms.
Can you charter a yacht for just one day?
Yes, several companies in the category offer day charters, notably during the Grand Prix or for an event. Week-long charters remain the most common arrangement for large yachts.
Do you need a licence to rent a boat?
Not for a yacht chartered with crew, since the captain operates the boat. To rent a small boat without a skipper, a suitable boating licence is generally required. The rental company states its conditions.
