Planning a Monaco Yacht Show Trip with Grand Circle

Next edition: The organiser lists 22–25 September 2027. The 2026 edition has ended; any 2026 access terms or prices below are historical and do not confirm 2027 tickets.

Getting yourself to Port Hercules for show week is one thing. Arriving with accommodation locked in, transfers sorted, and a week paced so you're not scrambling between the harbour and a hotel forty minutes away is another. Start with a clear brief so availability, inclusions and costs can be confirmed before any booking.

What to include in your trip brief

• Accommodation, sourced and booked in Monaco, Beausoleil or Cap d'Ail depending on availability and your priorities, ahead of the point where everything worth having is sold out.
• Transfers, from Nice Côte d'Azur, whether that's a private car or a helicopter transfer, timed around your schedule rather than left to whatever's available on the day.
• Dining, reservations at the tables worth having during a week when Monaco's restaurants are fullest.
• Pacing, a realistic itinerary that balances harbour time, dining, and at least one outing beyond Monaco if you want it, built from what we cover in our best experiences guide.

What we don't do

Yacht purchases, charters and private vessel viewings require the relevant broker or shipyard. If you're in the market to charter or buy, that conversation happens directly with a licensed broker or shipyard, the show itself is built around exactly those relationships. What we can do is make sure the week around that conversation is one you actually enjoy, rather than something squeezed in between meetings.

When to book Monaco Yacht Show week

Monaco Yacht Show week compresses an entire principality's hospitality into four days of peak demand. Piecing it together hotel-by-hotel and transfer-by-transfer after dates are announced routinely means settling for whatever's left. Planned as one trip from the outset, with confirm each part of the itinerary and its cancellation terms before treating the trip as arranged.
