*Monaco Port Charges

Mooring inside Monaco Harbor during the Grand Prix is truly a luxury and as such comes with a price tag! Spaces are limited and only those with "connections" are even considered. Stepping on and off Le Ponant at your whim, instead of waiting for boat tenders ashore, and being right in the hub of the F1 paddock area is indeed a thrill.

Port charges are $1970 per person

It's an event like no other, it lasts over four days, but it is not just the racing that excites, it's the atmosphere of the event and the people that attend. The stars come out in their droves from the Cannes Film Festival which takes place during the same week. Many Europe's royals attend.
