Port Hercule, also known as Port de la Condamine, was built in a square shape and completed in 1926. It has always had a noble purpose: to host an impressive number of luxury yachts. It’s no wonder that even the Prince himself keeps his 73-meter long M/Y Yalla yacht here.
A vibrant hub of nautical life
In front of the marina is the prestigious Yacht Club de Monaco, which gathers over 1000 members from all over the world. The club was founded in 1953 under the patronage of Prince Rainier III, and since 1984, it has been presided over by Prince Albert II. Throughout the year, the port buzzes with life thanks to numerous races and festivals organized by the club, making it a true center of nautical social life. Among the most famous events are the Monaco Yacht Show, one of the largest superyacht exhibitions in the world, and classic regattas like Monaco Classic Week. The port has a capacity to accommodate about 700 vessels, including superyachts over 100 meters long, making it unique in the Mediterranean.
Explore and relax
Port Hercule offers much more than just a berth for yachts. Stroll along the promenade, soak in the atmosphere, and stop at one of the charming cafes or restaurants for a refreshing bite. The port is surrounded by numerous shops, boutiques, and luxury hotels, offering visitors a wide range of amenities. If you want to experience Monaco from a different perspective, embark on a catamaran and enjoy spectacular views of the fantastic coastline, including the Prince’s Palace, Saint Nicholas Cathedral, and the Oceanographic Museum. Also, during Formula 1, which is partly held around the port itself, Port Hercule becomes the epicenter of events, providing a unique race experience from the yachts.
