Monaco Yacht Show 2026
Chauffeur service for the Monaco Yacht Show
23-26 September 2026, Port Hercule. A Monaco-based fleet of 14 vehicles, chauffeurs who know the Principality, and standby availability for the four days of the show.
Why a chauffeur
The week Monaco runs out of road
The Monaco Yacht Show takes over the quays of Port Hercule, in a country of two square kilometres. For four days the centre of the Principality is a pedestrian exhibition ground surrounded by a road network that was already tight, and the parking closest to the show is the first to fill.
Arriving is the easy part. Leaving is not.
A car you drive yourself has to be parked somewhere, and then retrieved — twice a day, in the middle of the one week Monaco is busiest. A chauffeur drops you at the closest permitted point, leaves, and comes back when you call. You never think about the vehicle again.
It also settles the evening question. The show closes and the dinners begin: owners' dinners, broker receptions, after-parties along the port. None of that goes well with being the person who has to drive home.
Your schedule will change during the day
Show weeks do not run to plan. A viewing overruns, a broker moves a meeting to a yacht on the other quay, a client wants to see a boat in Cannes the same afternoon. We work by the hour or by the day precisely so the schedule can move without a new booking each time.
Discretion is part of the service
Our chauffeurs work with UHNW clients, family offices and brokers year-round. Unmarked vehicles, no conversation unless you start it, no comment on where you went or with whom. Confidentiality agreements on request.
Arriving
Getting into Monaco for the show
Almost everyone arrives through Nice Cote d'Azur airport. It is 32 km from Port Hercule — around 45 minutes on a normal day, and show week is not a normal day.
By road from Nice airport
Count 45 minutes to an hour, more in late-afternoon traffic on the A8 or the coastal road. We meet you inside the terminal, handle the luggage and drive straight to your hotel, your yacht or the show entrance. Flight tracking is standard: a delayed landing does not cost you the car.
- Meet and greet inside the terminal, name board optional
- Flight tracked — we adjust to the actual landing time
- Waiting time included on airport pick-ups
By helicopter
Nice to Monaco takes 7 to 8 minutes by helicopter against 45 minutes by road, landing at the Monaco heliport in Fontvieille. We handle the ground leg at both ends: terminal to helipad in Nice, heliport to your destination in Monaco. Useful when you land late and the show closes at the end of the afternoon.
From Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Italy
Many visitors sleep outside the Principality during show week, because Monaco hotels are full and priced accordingly. We run the daily leg from Cannes, Cap-d'Ail, Beaulieu, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Nice or the Italian border, morning and evening, with the same vehicle and chauffeur for the whole stay if you prefer.
Our fleet
Fourteen vehicles, based in Monaco
The fleet is stationed in the Principality, not dispatched from Nice or Cannes. That matters in a week when getting a car into Monaco is itself the hard part.
One or two passengers
The Mercedes-Maybach S 580 is our reference car for the show: rear-cabin space to work or take a call between two viewings, and the only vehicle in the fleet with a published rate — 260 EUR per hour. The Mercedes S-Class and the BMW 7 Series M760e cover the same use at a different price point.
Three to seven passengers
The Mercedes V-Class VIP is the vehicle brokers book. Individual seats, a table, room for the folders and the samples, and everyone arrives at the same time — which is the whole point when a viewing is booked for a group.
When the car is part of the impression
Maybach GLS 600, Brabus G800, Lamborghini Urus, Ferrari Portofino M: for client entertainment during the show, or for the evening. Every vehicle other than the Maybach S 580 is quoted on request — the rate depends on the duration, the itinerary and the date.
- Chauffeur included on every booking
- Hourly, half-day, full-day or the four days of the show
- Same chauffeur for the whole stay on request
Also available
Beyond the transfer
Yacht and jet charter
We charter yachts on the Riviera and arrange private aviation. If you are at the show to look at boats, we can also put you on one — for a day out of Monaco, a client lunch at anchor, or the crossing to Saint-Tropez.
Photography and video
Our studio shoots yachts, launches and receptions across Monaco and the Riviera. During the show that means images of your boat on the water rather than at the quay, or coverage of the reception you are hosting on board, delivered fast enough to be useful the next morning.
Concierge
Restaurant tables that are genuinely booked out during show week, security drivers, close protection, private chefs, last-minute logistics. Tell us what the week needs to look like and we assemble it.
