Monaco Grand Prix 2025: Inside Port Hercule’s Elite Fleet of the World’s Largest Superyachts

-

As the engines roar and the city streets of Monte Carlo transform into a high-speed circuit, the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix (Friday 23 – Sunday 25 May) once again welcomes not just the world’s elite in motorsport, but also a stunning fleet of superyachts that rival the race in spectacle and scale.

Each year, the Monaco Grand Prix serves as one of the most glamorous events on the global sporting calendar — and the anchorage of Port Hercule becomes an aquatic showroom for some of the most exceptional yachts afloat. These vessels are more than just luxury platforms; they are floating palaces with unrivaled trackside views, VIP lounges, and a front-row seat to F1’s most iconic urban race.

A Grand Stage for Grand Designs

The yachts lining the harbour this year present a cross-section of the best in modern superyacht design and engineering. From the latest hybrid-propulsion marvels to opulent refits and explorer-class giants, the fleet gathered in Monaco for Grand Prix weekend is as diverse as it is spectacular.

Standout vessels include cutting-edge eco-conscious designs that glide in silently from anchorages offshore, as well as heritage yachts that bring an Old World elegance to the futuristic F1 surroundings. With balconies converted into private trackside boxes, and sun decks turned into dance floors once the sun sets, each yacht becomes part of the Monaco spectacle in its own right.

The Ultimate Viewing Platform

While grandstands offer seats close to the action, nothing compares to watching the Grand Prix unfold from the deck of a superyacht moored stern-to along the waterfront. Guests aboard can enjoy the thunder of engines just meters away, with fine dining, curated music sets, and bespoke hospitality adding to the allure.

Meanwhile, those at anchor just outside the harbor experience the event with a different kind of luxury — enjoying the adrenaline and atmosphere while escaping the crowds, often aboard yachts equipped with helipads, spas, and beach clubs.

A Celebration of Performance and Prestige

Just like the Formula One teams battling it out on the tight corners of the circuit, the yachts in Monaco are a showcase of precision, performance, and prestige. The values that define F1 — innovation, engineering excellence, and high-octane glamour — are mirrored in the superyacht world, making the Grand Prix a natural meeting point for these two luxury spheres.

From silent cruising by day to opulent parties by night under the shimmer of Monte Carlo’s skyline, the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix fleet continues to set a new benchmark for what it means to arrive in style.

Stay tuned as we spotlight the most impressive yachts attending the Grand Prix — from record-breaking launches to owner-favourite classics — and dive deeper into the extraordinary world of motorsport’s most luxurious pit lane.
