What is the best time to rent a boat in Monaco?

For the warmest weather and the least amount of precipitation, we recommend embarking on a Monaco boat charter between June and September when you’ll have an average temperature of 22°C. If you don’t mind slightly cooler weather around 17°C, you might prefer to visit Monaco in April or October as there will be fewer crowds and you’ll get better deals on boats!

Do I need a skipper on board my Monaco yacht charter?

While it is not always compulsory to have a skipper on board your Monaco boat rental, it is always recommended. Even if you have a licence to sail, having a skipper present is always beneficial and will help to make your sailing trip smoother. Skippers are nautical experts that will handle all of the docking, anchoring and navigating so that you don’t have to worry about anything but having the time of your life. Skippers are also locals of the area, so they can provide a unique perspective and show you all of the most important things in the country as well as take you to see some hidden gems you might not have known about otherwise. Enhance your holiday experience and sail in the safe hands of a skipper on a personalised yacht charter in Monaco.

What type of vessel is best for a boat charter in Monaco?

The vessel that you choose for your Monaco yacht charter will depend on how much time you actually plan to spend on the water. If you don’t need to sleep on board and you only plan to sail for a few days, a daily charter such as a RIB or a motorboat is a good option. However, if you’re planning on spending a week or more on the water, we’d recommend a more spacious vessel such as a yacht or a catamaran. These vessels are perfect for a family holiday or a holiday with a large group of friends since they are fully equipped with all of the amenities you’ll need to keep you comfortable. On board, you’ll have a kitchen, bathroom, cabins and plenty of sunbathing areas! If you’re after a more traditional sailing experience you might be keen to rent a sailboat however, you should always choose a skippered option since these vessels can be quite challenging to navigate.

No matter which vessel you’re looking for, you’re sure to find the best one for your yacht charter in Monaco with Nautal!
