Yacht broker in Monaco.
Port Hercule, Fontvieille, the Yacht Show: Monaco is where the big sales are decided. I work there for buyers and owners, fully independent.
Monaco packs the largest brokerage houses, family offices and the most active owners in the Mediterranean into a few hectares. For a buyer it is the deepest market: what never appears on the portals is negotiated here, broker to broker. For a seller it is the shop window: a yacht berthed in Port Hercule is seen by the right people all year round.
I work in Monaco as an independent broker, with no in-house fleet to place: I search the whole market, in co-brokerage with the Principality's brokers and others, and I represent your interests alone. As a former captain I read a yacht differently from a brochure; as a former brokerage-house broker I know the mechanics of a Monaco transaction, from the MYBA MOA to closing.
The ports
Port Hercule
The Principality's main harbour below the Rock: several hundred berths, quays able to take superyachts over 100 m, and the home of the Yacht Club de Monaco. The Monaco Yacht Show is held here, and many 30 m+ sales are concluded here.
Port de Fontvieille
More intimate, sheltered behind the Rock, taking yachts up to about thirty metres. Popular with resident owners for seasonal use and discretion.
What sells and charters here
- Superyachts of 30 to 80 m for sale, often off-market: reached through the co-brokerage network.
- 20 to 35 m yachts of resident owners, well maintained, with permanent crew.
- Charter: departures to Saint-Tropez, Corsica and Italy; strong demand from the Grand Prix (May) to the Yacht Show (September).
- Flag and VAT: many files combine Monaco residence, a holding company and a foreign flag, to be settled before signing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a Monaco resident to buy or berth a yacht in Monaco?
No. Buying is open to everyone; an annual berth in Port Hercule is however in high demand and goes through a waiting list or seasonal contracts. With your file in hand, I tell you what is realistic for your size of boat.
Is the Monaco Yacht Show the right time to buy?
It is the right time to see many new and pre-owned yachts in four days, and to meet yards and brokers. The best deals are often closed in the weeks that follow, when unsold sellers review their price.
Do you work with the big Monaco houses?
Yes, in co-brokerage: your yacht is shown to their buyers and their listings are open to you. You have a single contact, and the commission is shared between brokers at no extra cost to you.
